THE AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN

Turmeric (non-GMO) is one of nature's most powerful healers, with the active ingredient being curcumin. Popularly used in Indian cuisine, turmeric root has been shown to have a broad number of possible nourishing effects. Turmeric has been used for over 2500 years in India, where it was most likely first used as a dye.

Turmeric is a nutritional powerhouse

The medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries. Recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial for many different health conditions.

Among some of the most interesting turmeric health benefits and recent scientific findings:

• Brain nourishment: The 2003 study in Italy, published in the Italian Journal of Biochemistry, showed that Turmeric might support a healthy brain and nervous system. Another study conducted at UCLA and published in the December 2004 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, which has been confirmed by further research published online on April 20, 2006, in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, provides further insight as to how Turmeric provides multiple areas of protectionagainst the mechanisms that may support conditions related to brain health. This research was so profoundly exciting to researchers that human clinical trials to further investigate Turmeric's potential will soon be underway.
• May support a healthy inflammation response: Turmeric's ability to support a healthy inflammation response has been shown to be comparable to the potent drugs hydrocortisone and phenylbutazone, as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin. And unlike lab-produced pharmaceutical drugs, Turmeric has been shown to produce no toxicitynor the kinds of stomach problems that commonly occur with pharmaceuticals with this same purpose.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: Many clinical studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of Turmeric may support the body's ability to fight the free radicalsresponsible for joint health issues. Turmeric's combination of antioxidants and supporting a healthy inflammation response effect explains why many people with joint health issues possibly find relief when they use the spice regularly, and in a recent study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Turmeric was compared to phenylbutazone and produced comparable improvements in shortened duration of a variety of issues.
• Cystic Fibrosis: Curcumin, the major constituent of turmeric that gives the spice its yellow color, may support healthy gene expression, as suggested by an animal study published in the April 2004 issue of Science. Cystic fibrosis is a fatal disease that attacks the lungs with thick mucus, causing life-threatening infections, and afflicts about 30,000 American children and young adults who rarely survive beyond 30 years of age.
• Cellular mutation Prevention: Turmeric's antioxidant effects help protect the colon cells from free radicals that can damage cellular DNA -- a significant benefit, particularly in the colon where cell turnover is quite rapid. Improving liver function also helps the body destroy mutated cells so they cannot spread through the body and cause more harm. Even more interesting, when Turmeric was combined with the vegetable Cauliflower, the protection against cell mutation in the colon was even more pronounced, leading researchers to believe the combination of cruciferous vegetables and curcumin could be an "effective therapy not only to prevent prostate problems but to inhibit the spread of established prostate problems."Time to start eating cauliflower with turmeric!
• Maysupport a healthy liver: recent studies have shown that Turmeric increases the detoxification enzymes in the liver, so much so that one set of researchers commented, "Turmeric used widely as a spice would probably mitigate the effects of several dietary carcinogens." This is very beneficial in our polluted, often carcinogenic environment, diet, and lifestyles these days.

From supporting a healthy cardiovascular system to serving as a great source of vitamin B6 to further overall anti-oxidization, detoxification, and blood-brain benefits, the health benefits of Turmeric continue to be revealed and discovered by new scientific studies each year.

GINGER POWDER

• Ginger Root has been mentioned in ancient Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern writings, where it has long been prized for its aromatic, culinary, and medicinal properties.
• Historically, ginger has an important tradition of being a very effective herb.
• In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative.
• Ginger has been well-researched, and its traditional uses have been scientifically confirmed.

Native to southeastern Asia, a region whose cuisines still feature this wonderfully spicy herb, ginger has been renowned for millennia in many areas worldwide. Non-GMO ginger is mentioned in ancient Chinese, Indian, and Middle Eastern writings and has long been prized for its aromatic, culinary, and medicinal properties. After the ancient Romans imported ginger from China almost two thousand years ago, its popularity in Europe remained centered in the Mediterranean region until the Middle Ages, when its use spread throughout other countries.

Historically, ginger has a long tradition of being very effective in possibly supporting a healthy gastrointestinal tract. In herbal medicine, ginger is an excellent carminative -- a substance that promotes the elimination of intestinal gas, and an intestinal spasmolytic -- a substance that relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract.

Modern scientific research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties, including antioxidant effects, and may support a healthy inflammation response.

Ginger has been well-researched, and its traditional uses have been confirmed. It is well known to support the body through motion sickness, nausea, and indigestion. It is a warming remedy, ideal for supporting healthy circulation, possibly supporting healthy blood pressure levels, and perhaps keeping the blood thin in higher doses. According to Stephen Buhner, the author of the book “Herbal Antivirals,” ginger may possess antiviral effects, thereby supporting a healthy immune system response. Ginger may help a healthy inflammation response; consequently, there has been much recent interest in its use for joint problems. If a person has exercised too much or suffers from arthritis or rheumatism, ginger has been traditionally used to put out the fire, so to speak possibly. Due to its ability to probably support healthy circulation, ginger is thought to improve the complexion likely. It may reduce nervousness, ease tendonitis, and help sore throats return to normal. Studies demonstrate that ginger may also support healthy lipid levels.

This stimulating herb is warming the system. In her book ’10 Essential Herbs’, author Lalitha Thomas describes the properties: “The major active ingredients in ginger are terpenes (quite similar to the chemical action of turpentine), and an oleo-resin called ginger oil. These two and other active ingredients in ginger provide support for healthy circulation.

GARLIC POWDER

• Garlic, Allium Sativum, has a fantastic history dating back 5000 years.
• There is much historical evidence that garlic was revered by the Egyptians, who gave it to the enslaved people who built the pyramid to maintain their strength. It is documented in ancient Chinese texts dating 4000 years ago. The Romans gave it to their soldiers.
• No other plant in history has as many applications as this powerful, pungent plant.

The use of garlic, whether as a food, spice, or medicine, has more than tripled since the 1990s. Based on a report from the Department of Agriculture in 1989, the average person consumed 1 pound of garlic compared to 3.1 pounds per person in 1999.

Garlic today is rated as only second to Echinacea in sales worldwide for its medicinal properties.

Garlic is also one of the most plants, with 1,200 medical and pharmacological reports and 700 chemical studies published to date. It is quite clear that this powerful food has a very strong history of use and a fantastic amount of scientific data to back it up.

Garlic as fresh food is well known for its powerful sulfur odor, but there is so much more to this excellent bulb than just its pungent smell. Garlic contains 0.1-0.36% volatile oils, which, based on much research, are responsible for many of the powerful properties of garlic. It is known to have about 33 sulfur compounds, 17 amino acids, as well as minerals and enzymes.

Of all the foods in the allium family, garlic has the highest concentration of these sulfur compounds. Allicin is known to be one of the more biologically active compounds in garlic which was first isolated and studied in the 1940s to support the body’s ability to ward off viruses, bacteria, and fungi parasites. Interestingly, it is not active until the garlic is crushed or cut, activating the enzyme alliinase. This enzyme is thought to be responsible for converting alliin to allicin. Although there has been much talk about and attempts to stabilize the allicin: the latest research suggests that many more aspects of the plant’s different sulfur compounds, such as the amino acids, are responsible for nourishing benefits.

Interestingly more recent studies have shown some very different facts about garlic and why using fresh stuff may not be the only way to get the benefits. While allicin has been thought to be a key player in garlic’s medicinal properties, a study showed that its ability to work as a single agent is not as powerful as once thought. A study was done where people consumed ten cloves of garlic daily. When blood was taken between one to twenty-four hours later, there was little or no detectable sign of allicin in the blood or urine. The allicin was shown to be almost entirely metabolized by the liver. The conclusion drawn from this study is that even if the allicin could make it to the bloodstream and be delivered throughout the body, it will most likely convert into other compounds, causing them to lose the ability to carry oxygen.

Modern science has shown that garlic like cooked, steamed, pickled, and aged, which contains little to no allicin, still demonstrates various medicinal benefits. S-allyl cysteine is one of the compounds showing great promise due to its higher absorption rate.

This all means that, once again, the food as a whole gives it the medicinal properties and not one or two of the constituents found in that food. Many of these studies attempt to show how specific constituents work independently. The fault in this pile of research is that they don’t. They work as a synergistic team. This is why the consumption of whole food with all the potent compounds is the most important fact that you need to focus on.

Some possible health benefits and traditional uses of our Raw Natural Garlic Powder may include:

• May support healthy lipid levels

CINAMMON POWDER

• More than just a simple spice, cinnamon packs a powerful punch in the antioxidant arena.
• Used for thousands of years to treat various ailments, this amazing spice has abundant research to back it up.
• Cinnamon is obtained from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. The bark rolls up while drying in the sun and forms what we know as a cinnamon stick which is left as is or ground into a fine powder...

Cinnamon is one of the oldest and most recognizable flavors in the world.

Ancient Egyptians imported cinnamon from China and used it as a medicine and food enhancer. Since then, it has been used in just about every type of food product available.

Preliminary lab and animal studies have found that cinnamon may have antibacterial and antifungal properties. It may also have an anti-clotting effect on the blood. Several studies suggest that non-GMO cinnamon may support blood sugar, possibly benefiting people with type 2 diabetes.

Other studies with cinnamon have shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections. One study even found that smelling cinnamon may support cognitive function and memory. In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon was shown to reduce the proliferation of mutated cells.

During research at Copenhagen University, patients were given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast; after only one week, the patients had significant relief in arthritis pain. Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day may support healthy lipid levels. When added to food, it may support inhibiting bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.

Cinnamon is an excellent manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium source.

Some possible health benefits and traditional uses of Raw Natural Cinnamon Powder may include the following:

• For centuries this tiny seed was a staple food of the Indians in the southwest and Mexico.
• Known as the running food, its use as a high-energy endurance food has been recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. It was said the Aztec warriors subsisted on the Chia seed during the conquests.
• The Indians of the southwest would eat as little as a teaspoon when going on a 24-hour forced march.

Chia seeds (Salvia ) are a source of Omega 3 fatty acids and are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and soluble fiber

Chia is an edible seed from the desert plant Salvia, a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico. Chia is familiar to most of us as a seed used for the novelty of the Chia Pet, clay animals with sprouted Chia seeds covering their bodies.

Little is known, however, of the seed’s tremendous nutritional value and medicinal properties. For centuries this tiny little seed was used as a staple food by the Indians of the southwest and Mexico. Known as the running food, its use as a high-energy endurance food has been recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. It was said the Aztec warriors subsisted on the Chia seed during the conquests. The Indians of the southwest would eat as little as a teaspoon full when going on a 24hr—forced march. Indians running from the Colorado River to the California coast to trade turquoise for seashells would only bring the Chia seed for nourishment.

Black Chia Seeds: A Nutritional and Antioxidant Powerhouse

One ounce of chia seeds provides eleven grams of fiber. This amount also includes calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin, zinc, and the proper ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Chia seeds are a rich source of antioxidants containing chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol flavonols. These compounds are both primary and synergistic antioxidants that contribute to the strong antioxidant activity of chia.

Studies show that eating chia seeds may slow down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrate calories into simple sugars. This leads scientists to believe that the chia seed may benefit people with diabetes. Viscous fiber (that which appears like gelatin) may slow down the conversion of carbohydrates into sugars and helps support healthy blood sugar levels.

This means mixing Chia Seeds with the food you already like to eat is beneficial.

Blood sugar naturally rises and falls throughout the day. It can also be what makes you drowsy in the afternoon. Dips and spikes aren’t good for consistent, healthy energy. The slowing of the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar can create endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in the body. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows, creating a longer duration in their fueling effects. Protein also fuels energy, and the protein in the chia is complete.

More amazing properties of Chia Seeds

If you try putting a spoonful of Chia seeds in a glass of water and leaving it for approximately 30 minutes or so when you return, the glass will appear to contain not seeds or water but almost solid gelatin. This gel-forming reaction is due to the soluble fiber in the chia. Research believes this same gel-forming phenomenon occurs in the stomach when food containing these gummy fibers, known as mucilages, is eaten. The gel formed in the stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. This blockage of calorie absorption makes the chia seed a great diet helper.

In addition to the obvious benefits for people with diabetes, this slowing in the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability to create endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in our bodies. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows, creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.

One of the exceptional qualities of the Chia seed is its hydrophilic properties, having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weight in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration. Fluids and electrolytes provide an environment that supports the life of all the body’s cells. Their concentration and composition are regulated to remain as constant as possible. With Chia seeds, you retain moisture and regulate the body’s absorption of nutrients and body fluids more efficiently. Because there is greater efficiency in utilizing body fluids, the electrolyte balance is maintained.

You do not need to grind chia seeds to digest them. Chia is a relatively easy-to-digest seed, whereas flax seeds are not. Flax seeds need to be ground for the nutrients to be absorbed by our digestive systems. That is not the case with chia seeds. Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid.

Chia seeds can be eaten raw as a dietary fiber, omega-3, and antioxidant supplement.

Chia seeds soaked in fruit juice are commonly consumed in Mexico and are known as chia. The soaked seeds are gelatinous in texture and are used in porridge and puddings. Taste-wise, chia seeds have a slightly nutty flavor and are a healthful addition to the diet.

FLAX SEED

Natural flax seeds are an excellent source of fiber, lignans, protein, essential fatty acids, omega 3, 6, and 9, vitamins, and minerals. Researchers believe lignans have antioxidant properties. Flaxseed has up to 8 times more lignans than other vegetables and grains and an assortment of other vitamins and minerals needed for daily health.

Research has recently shown that flax seeds may support the body’s ability to protect itself against external environmental exposures, especially concerning the lungs. A study by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that flax seeds might also have a role in supporting the body’s ability to protect other healthy tissues and organs when consumed immediately before exposure. Due to their staying power, these amazing, chemically stable seeds can last for years when stored properly, possibly making them an excellent environmental protective agent.

Golden flax seeds are a superb HDL source and may help lower LDL levels, possibly supporting healthy lipid levels. Menopausal and postmenopausal women might especially benefit from flax seeds. Study results released in 2005 concluded that dietary flaxseed may reduce growth in newly diagnosed female patients due to flaxseed biological markers and lignan components.

Preparation-wise, our Natural Golden Flax Seed has similar nutritional value to brown flax seed and can be used in the same traditional ways.

PUMPKIN SEEDS

Pumpkin seeds are a delicious, nutritious, and popular seed that has been celebrated as far back as 1300 AD when utilized by the ancient Aztecs. They were used as a food and traditional medicine in many Native American tribes and South America, where they were referred to as “pepita de calabaza” meaning “little seed of squash.” Over time, they became popular in North America, Europe, and the Mediterranean. They have even traveled the globe as far as Asia, where they are used today as alternative medicine. Here in the United States, pumpkins are grown for commercial consumption in nearly every state and on over 100,000 acres of farmland.

One of the most outstanding uses of pumpkin seeds is making them into pumpkin seed oil. The pumpkin seed oil has been studied by modern medicine for decades, and there is an abundance of impressive results. One standout study was conducted on 76 male patients with Androgenetic Alopecia. Each patient received 400 mg of pumpkin seed oil per day or a placebo. Changes were evaluated by four outcomes: assessment of standardized clinical photographs, patient self-assessment scores, scalp hair thickness, and scalp hair counts. These outcomes were documented at both 12 and 24 weeks. After 24 weeks of double-blind treatment, hair count increases of 40% were observed in men treated with 400 mg daily plant seed oil versus only a 10% increase in placebo-treated men. There were no adverse effects documented by either set of men. This study shows that pumpkin seeds could possibly help support the body’s natural regrowth of hair, which may be significant for people experiencing hair thinning or loss.

Another interesting study evaluated pumpkin seed oil for its effectiveness on human urinary disorders and overactive bladder. Forty-five patients were given 10g of pumpkin seed oil extract from C. maxima every day. The study was conducted over a period of 12 weeks, with measurements taken at both 6 and 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, the urinary function was evaluated using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). Results from this study suggest that pumpkin seed oil extracts from C. maxima and from C. pepo may be effective in supporting human urinary disorders.

These are just a few of the many therapeutic benefits pumpkin seeds may offer. They’re a fantastic way of adding flavor along with nutrition to your daily foods.

SESAME SEEDS

Sesame seeds are flat oval shaped seeds with a wonderfully nutty taste and delicate crunch. The whole seed is the main ingredient in two well-known middle eastern dishes, tahini, and halvah. Yet, they are especially valued for their oil which has been shown to be very resistant to becoming rancid and has a high smoke point making it excellent for cooking. This tasty seed is easily found year-round.

Sesame seeds, also known by their botanical name sesamum, are believed to be one of the first condiments and edible oils used from a plant source. It is thought that these seeds first originated in Africa or India, where they were a symbol of immortality. The Persians and Babylonians all cultivated and used it for medicinal and culinary purposes. The first written accounts from the Assyrians date back to 3000 BC. The sesame seed was brought to America by African slaves, a cultivated crop ever since. Unlike many other seeds, sesame comes in 4 colors, though black and white are the most commonly available.

While this seed can be found very easily year-round, it tends to grow very well in tropical climates from the spring to the fall. Each sesame plant grows approximately 15-20 fruits which contain 80-100 seeds per fruit. They mature in 100 days, and the ripe capsule bursts open to scatter its seeds. Depending on the conditions, this plant can grow from .5 to 2.5 meters tall with white flowers shaped like a trumpet. Generally, you will see one to three flowers appear on the leaf axils. The original reason this food gained such popularity is for the amazingly versatile oil it contains. The oil is used in shortenings, cooking, soaps pharmaceuticals. This is because the oil is very stable even at high temperatures, so many other oils.

This tiny seed packs a powerful punch of nourishment. There are about 573 calories per 100 grams of sesame seeds, and a good portion comes from its nourishing fats. According to the USDA nutritional database of the 100-gram serving, 23.45 grams is from carbs, 11.8 grams are from fiber, 17.73 is from protein, and 49.67 is from fats. The fats contained in sesame seeds are 50% mono-unsaturated oleic acid. Research on these fats has shown to support a healthy lipid profile which may support cardiovascular and neurological health. In the plant kingdom, sesame seeds are known to be one of the better sources of phytosterols. These are compounds found in plants that have a very similar structure to cholesterol, and as science has proven many times over, the presence of cholesterol is very important in the production of healthy hormones.

Sesame seeds are a powerhouse of minerals. According to the USDA nutrition database, a 100-gram serving contains 975 mg of calcium, 4 mg copper, 351 mg of magnesium, 2.4 mg of manganese, 629 mg phosphorus, 7.7 mg of zinc, and 460 mg of potassium. As you know, much research has concluded that minerals from food sources possibly play a vital role in supporting healthy bones, hormones, and blood cell structures. A handful of this simple, delicious food nourishes you with well above the recommended amounts of nutrients, fatty acids, and phytonutrients. So, the next time you are looking for a nourishing snack or to take your meal up a notch nutritionally, make this tasty, nutty seed your first choice.
