  1. Obviously, reducing fat intake and reducing food in general is of great importance for weight loss.

  1. Other studies have shown that turmeric can make your weight loss diet more effective. In other words, it is faster.

  1. White adipose tissue, on the other hand, is the type of fat that has almost remained. Very, very difficult to burn.

  1. It has now become known that white adipose tissue can be changed into brown adipose tissue. (4) That's fantastic news, of course!

  1. Curcumin, an important component in Turmeric, is the substance that can support and even accelerate this process. This increases the level of Norepinephrine, which promotes the process from white to brown adipose tissue. This ultimately burns fat faster, which also makes you lose weight faster.

  1. In short: Taking Turmeric helps in weight loss due to the Thermogenic effect. An increased metabolism burns the calories and fat extra fast, promoting weight loss.

  1. Obesity is often associated with overweight. Pro-inflammatory substances were almost always found in overweight or obese people. Substances that cause inflammation. (6)

  1. After all, fat tissue produces substances that we call adipokines. Some of these, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, can initiate an inflammatory response.

  1. If you are overweight, ie too much fat deposits in the body, this inflammatory action of the adipokines leads to the production of oxidative stress.

  1. This process further leads to other diseases and conditions such as the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, etc. etc.

  1. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory substance and can be very effective in counteracting the inflammation of those nasty adipokines.

  1. It is now a well-known fact that turmeric, with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can be an important element in the fight against the inflammation associated with overweight and obesity.

  1. How this works? Turmeric regulates the activity of adipokines and regulates glucose and fatty acid content. In this way, the oxidative stress of the inflammatory adipokines is reduced.

  1. In short: Turmeric can drastically reduce the inflammation and oxidative stress associated with obesity. In this way you prevent diseases and conditions that often accompany overweight and obesity.
