Turmeric was able to prevent arthritis or rheumatism. Thus the results of the latest findings of experts from the University of Arizona in Tucson, which was published in Arthritis & rheumatis medical journals, recently. 

The research itself is carried out on rat large type. "When given to mice, turmeric extract may prevent inflammation turns itself on these rodents. That means, for the first time known that turmeric extracts can be used as a spice in cooking, has its anti-rheumatic, "said dr. Janet L. Funk told Reuters. 

Rheumatism itself arises when the immune system mistakenly attacks the tissue in joints. Consequently arise stimulation, pain, and will gradually change the shape of these joints. 

The ability of extracts of turmeric prevent arthritis, because it contains turmeric, a key element of a protein called NF-kappa B. These substances can control the activity of compounds that cause inflammation in the joints. 

NF-kappa B is now a target in a number of drugs used for the inhibition of inflammation due to rheumatism. Despite proven benefits of new turmeric in mice, but the findings are expected to be very promising, and clinical trials are needed. 

Janet and his colleagues do not use turmeric in the market. But, they make their own turmeric extract from turmeric root. However, it is still too early for people with arthritis to immediately rush to the market to buy turmeric and make as intake to cure rheumatism.
