Why are we not surprised that 🧡Turmeric is Top 2🧡 in The Dynamic Dozen: Meet the DNA Methylation Superfoods from the book “Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better” by Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

✅ what is DNA methylation? It is a chemical reaction in our bodies where methyl compound gets added to DNA.

✅ DNA methylation can influence gene expression by affecting how genes are read and transcribed, which can affect various biological processes, including development, cell differentiation, and maintaining genomic stability and is also linked to various diseases, including cancer and developmental disorders.

Top 2: TURMERIC - DNA methylation adaptogen

Known as the “king of spices,” turmeric has many potent effects on your biochemistry and your health, including preventing cancer as well as neurological and inflammatory diseases… most [exciting]… turmeric has curcumin, which is a powerful DNA methylation adaptogen. In cell studies, curcumin looks to be able to both add and reverse excess or erroneous methylation marks on your DNA, like the clean-up crew for life’s inevitable biochemical messes.

“…In addition to being DNA methylation superstars, the foods in the Dynamic Dozen are what’s known as pleiotropic, which is a fancy way of saying they do lots of good things. They’re anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and in many cases, antiviral. “

“Turmeric is the single most anti-inflammatory food…”. Get your daily dose of turmeric with Mamu Jamu health tonics!

The most pro-inflammatory food component is saturated fat, which is found in meat, dairy, eggs, and junk. These products also contain other pro-inflammatory food components, such as cholesterol and trans fat.

The most anti-inflammatory food component is fiber. It appears that an increase of just 10 extra grams of fiber per 1,000 calories would equate to four fewer years of cellular aging. Now, of course, diets high in fiber go hand in hand with diets with significant amounts of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. So, fiber may just be a marker of eating lots of whole, healthy plant foods.

Anthocyanins, the antioxidant pigments that give berries their bright red, blue, and purple colors, have been shown in dozens of randomized controlled trials to reduce inflammation.
Turmeric, garlic powder, and ginger powder were also found to reduce interleukin-6 (IL-6), a marker of inflammation. However, antioxidant supplements, specifically vitamins C and E, beta carotene, and selenium, as well as turmeric supplements, provided no benefit for reducing markers of inflammation.

How else can we bring down inflammation? By changing our overall diet.

When individuals switched to strictly plant-based nutrition, their diets flipped to become anti-inflammatory. Not all plant-foods are anti-inflammatory, though. If all we do is boost our intake of less healthy plant foods, like juice, white bread, white potatoes, soda, and cake, we can end up with more inflammation. A really clean diet of whole plant foods can also significantly reduce levels of Lp(a), something we didn’t even think could be achieved with diet, as well as drop our LDL cholesterol. It can reduce levels of inflammatory markers, too. We’re talking about a 30 percent drop in C-reactive protein and a 20 percent drop in IL-6.

Cutting down on both animal products and processed foods, while increasing intake of whole plant foods, may be the most effective dietary strategy to combat inflammation.

🫚 🆚 🏃‍♀️

The endothelium is the inner lining of our blood vessels ❤️ and these are highly sensitive to oxidation and inflammation 🔥 , thus problems with our endothelium “may set us up for heart disease or a stroke.” ‼️

Researchers in Japan recently compared the endothelial benefits of about a teaspoon a day’s worth of turmeric 🫚 for eight weeks, compared 🆚 to 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise 🏃‍♀️ a day.

Which group improved their endothelial function more? ❓Watch this to find out… https://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-of-gold-turmeric-vs-exercise/

Spoiler alert: Turmeric is comparable to exercise when it comes to endothelial benefits… but of course, you should do both.

Diet and exercise synergize to improve endothelial function, the ability of our arteries to relax normally.
