But There's a Catch: Turmeric Doesn't Work As Well Without This One Key Ingredient. I think we can agree that we all want to look and feel younger and healthier than our age. And there is li le doubt that controlling harmful inflamma on is vitally important to achieving what I like to call "healthy longevity." By now I hope I've convinced you that making turmeric part of your daily health regimen is a vital part of achieving this. But you should also know about the latest scien fic research that points to yet another essen al nutrient for maintaining youthful vigor. And this is one area where turmeric falls short of being a "perfect" remedy. You may be familiar with the "French Paradox": Despite a high-fat diet loaded with cheese, fa y fish, and fa y oils, the French have significantly lower incidences of serious heart problems compared to Americans. Research indicates that the mi ga ng factor is that the French typically drink red wine – lots and lots of red wine. As it turns out, red wine is a GREAT source of one of the most uniquely potent an oxidants on the planet – resveratrol. For over a decade I've been spreading the word about the amazing health benefits of resveratrol. And I have made sure to emphasize there are two types of resveratrol compounds – CIS-resveratrol and TRANS-resveratrol. This is vitally important because over recent years, resveratrol has been the subject of thousands of clinical studies, and only the ac ve compounds in TRANS-resveratrol have been scien fically shown to provide documented health benefits. This research shows that this "super-an oxidant" helps increase a group of seven proteins called sirtuins which together have been nicknamed the "youth genes." According to this research, the more sirtuins you have the be er chance you have of what I call "healthy longevity." While I fully admit that I enjoy a glass of red wine or two on occasion, to get the full health benefits of resveratrol, it would take drinking as many as 100 glasses of wine per day – clearly neither prac cal or advisable! So in addi on to turmeric, I make sure to take a trans-resveratrol supplement every day. I consider this super- an oxidant to be my "ul mate nutri on insurance policy." body, as well as common everyday aches and pains in joints and muscles. If your body feels sore and s ff, systema c inflamma on is likely to blame. Skin Issues: Silent inflamma on is the hallmark of the redness, itchiness, flaky skin and discomfort associated with many common skin condi ons. Diges ve Discomfort: The gut microbiome is so complex, it is some mes referred to as a "second brain." And while there are many factors that can disrupt its delicate balance, diges ve issues can o en be traced to harmful inflamma on within the diges ve tract. If you're experiencing one or more of these six symptoms, keep reading to learn how to safely and naturally combat harmful silent inflamma on to save you from having to deal with serious health issues like these, and keep you looking and feeling your best. The Strong Connection Between Inflammation and Brain Health Of all the health issues associated with harmful silent inflamma on, perhaps the most serious are those related to brain health. And this is where ge ng a research-based dose of turmeric every day can work wonders. A recent landmark study found that turmeric promotes the produc on of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth hormone responsible for youthful brain func on. According to scien sts, higher BDNF levels may hold the key to improved memory and sharper thinking as you age. What's more, a recent study found that daily turmeric intake produced short-term memory improvements in adults over 60 who were predisposed to memory loss. It worked like a six-hour memory boost! And perhaps most exci ng of all, preliminary research is indica ng that turmeric may inhibit the forma on of debris fragments that can lead to age-related cogni ve decline. This may be the result of curcumin, the ac ve ingredient in turmeric, being one of the few substances on earth with the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. These brain health benefits alone are enough of a reason to take a research dosage of turmeric every day. But the benefits of controlling harmful silent inflamma on are MUCH more wide- ranging than that. Turmeric Also Benefits Your Heart, Joints and So Much More • Extensive research has shown that elevated levels of an inflamma on marker called C-reac ve protein (CRP) is a strong indicator of long-term cardiovascular risk. Breakthrough new research is now showing that turmeric can lower levels of CRP by an amazing 32%. • Another recent clinical study showed turmeric can also significantly lower triglycerides, another major cardiovascular risk factor, by an astonishing 47%. • Turmeric is also great for your joints. One landmark study showed that turmeric relieved joint pain as effec vely as a popular mainstream pill while reducing s ffness and improving overall joint func on—all without side effects. • Scien fic studies show that turmeric's an -inflammatory benefits can aid in promo ng healthy diges on as well.
