you know i promote turmeric a lot

because it’s one of the most

amazing

herbs for inflammation

and many other things

but i always have people that comment

you know you don’t want to heat it

because it’s going to destroy the

phytonutrients so i just want to let you

know that is a complete myth you would

think

heat will destroy all compounds but in

the case with certain herbal remedies

apparently it seems to enhance certain

phytonutrients which is quite ironic

because heat destroys enzymes now just

as a quick side note

i had the idea that heat destroyed

things and that’s why one time i

promoted a video talking about

sardines and

when they can sardines they destroy the

omega

3 and i just

assume that of course i never tested it

and i put this video out

and then i felt a little weird about

putting the video out when i personally

never tested the omega-3 from canned

tuna or sardines

so i actually sent it to the lab to test

it cost me like four grand but i found

out there were a good amount of omega-3

fatty acids in both sardines and canned

tuna so i redid the video and put that

data out and i was actually quite

surprised because i know they used high

heats so apparently when you cook things

it might destroy certain things but not

other things but this video is on

turmeric because it’s such a powerful

and popular compound now this is based

on a couple studies which i’m going to

put the link down below where they

measure the total antioxidant capacity

so people use tremerican

drinks

supplements

and

in their teas in their food and a lot of

times they heat it so in this study that

this video is about

they tested roasting boiling and cooking

at temperatures of 180 degrees celsius

which is

356 degrees fahrenheit that’s very hot

and

for 70 minutes and they found certain

compounds and i’m going to talk about

three three very powerful antioxidants

survived in fact were enhanced

with this heat so apparently there’s a

name for it’s called thermal degradation

so apparently it enhances the

concentration and it increases the

solubility of certain phytonutrients so

the first one is for ulic acid so this

is an antioxidant

it’s great for your skin to protect the

skin it’s good to also counter sun

damage that phytonutrient was enhanced

the next one is called four vinyl

guaiacol

and this compound enhances something

called

nrf2 which does two things it decreases

cellular stress

and it increases the antioxidant defense

mechanism in your body so it’s going to

help your immune system it’s going to

help inflammation and the last one is

called the linen which is

the compound in vanilla and this is a

very powerful antioxidant it’s an

anti-inflammatory and it’s also

anti-microbial

it’s used even as a preservative so

anyway the next time you cook or use

turmeric in your foods

don’t be too concerned about cooking it

because there will be some positive

benefits in these compounds
