SHORE UP muscle strength with this spice secret
You haven’t been getting around as much as you used to.
Heck, MOST of us haven’t – at least, not for the last year and a half or so.
But you might be facing some EXTRA challenges… like surgery recovery or disability… that have made you even MORE sedentary.
And you might be worried whether your muscles can handle getting more active…
Or whether YOU can handle the pain that might follow!
Well, the latest science shows there’s something that could help.
It’s a natural ingredient that’s helped athletes in their muscle recovery…
But since you’re no Olympian, you might think it wouldn’t do much for you.
Here’s the research that shows just the OPPOSITE may be true.
How to get back on your feet
Even if you’ve only DABBLED in natural health products… you’re surely aware of the MANY benefits of curcumin, the active compound in the “curry spice” turmeric.
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how curcumin could help relieve joint discomfort.
And it turns out that this anti-inflammatory substance could also help your muscle tissue BOUNCE BACK from strenuous activity…
Even if you’ve been sedentary!
According to a recently published meta-analysis, that could mean LESS pain… fatigue… and muscle damage (as measured by levels of creatine kinase)…
And QUICKER recovery!
Some evidence shows improved muscle performance as well, including BETTER range of motion and STRONGER muscles (as measured by maximal voluntary contraction torque).
Now, we’re not talking “sports performance” here.
NO ONE is expecting you to be able to run a marathon after having spent weeks… months… or even years off your feet.
But prior research has shown how curcumin could help beat back sarcopenia, a “muscle wasting” condition that strikes older folks.
Studies have shown how this ingredient could help IMPROVE hand grip strength and even feelings of tiredness in elderly subjects who are LITERALLY wasting away!
Imagine being able to hit the links again… or get back on your bicycle and enjoy the fall foliage as the wind whips through your hair.
Take an evening stroll around the block with your sweetie…
And tend to that garden you’ve been neglecting for too long.
If you’ve been wanting to get back to doing the things you love… curcumin may be able to help make it a little easier and more comfortable.
Look for a curcumin supplement in capsule form from a maker you trust at your local health food store or online.
The studies included in this latest meta-analysis used dosages ranging from 180 to 400 mg daily .
Black pepper can improve how well your body absorbs curcumin… so look for a supplement that also includes the compound piperine.
