Turmeric may help prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Turmeric and omega 3 fatty acids are easily found in Indian food. Although they have many health benefits, a recent study by Professor Manohar Garg from the University of Newcastle’s Nutraceuticals stated that turmeric can help prevent a case of type 2- diabetes with a combination of omega 3- fats.

The researchers reported that the compounds used for the prevention of the disease is quite safe and has asked four groups of people, aged between 30 to 70 and prone to Diabetes, to conduct these tests.

"The anti-inflammatory mechanisms surrounding curcumin and omega-3 fats are different, so we want to test if they complement each other and have treatment synergies beyond their individual effects," Garg said.

The first group was given one curcumin, the second with only omega three fats and the third with a combination of both. The fourth group is used in acting as a control group avoiding the supplies. The ratio suggests that it contains 200 mg of curcumin and one gram of Omega 3- fats.

After successful experiments, the researchers believed that, the medicine is safe and has no side effects and can be used to treat diabetes.
