The main active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and protect liver cells from damage.
According to experts, curcumin can help reduce chronic inflammation in the liver and contribute to improving liver function in people with fatty liver. In addition, turmeric also helps stimulate bile production, thereby supporting the process of fat digestion and reducing pressure on the liver.
Dr. Andrew Weil, an integrated medicine expert in the US, said: "Curcumin in turmeric has anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties, especially useful when combined with a healthy diet, regular use of turmeric can support the natural liver recovery process.
However, to better absorb curcumin, experts recommend combining turmeric with black pepper or healthy fats such as olive oil. This helps increase the absorption of curcumin into the body.
Some common uses include: mixing turmeric starch with warm water, cooking soup, or adding turmeric to daily meals. However, do not overuse it, especially for people with stomach problems or taking anticoagulants.
Experts also emphasize that turmeric only plays a supporting role. To restore the liver effectively, it is necessary to combine a scientific diet, limit alcohol and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
