CAN CURCUMIN BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO YOUR POLLUTION STRICKEN BODY?
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/pollutamin-PM-2.5-article.mp3″] Since as early as 1952 when the great London Fog killed 4000 people, nature has tried to warn the man about how harmful air pollution can be. In big cities especially in developing countries, it is commonplace to see thick sheets of dense smog during certain times of the year. While there are external factors that cause a significant part of PM2.5 suspension like winds that blow desert sands all the way from the Middle East towards countries like India during the winter months, it cannot be denied that the smoke emitted by vehicles, the burning of crop, the open bonfires that can be spotted here and there and industrial emissions add manifold to the problem. As Per The World Health Organization, There Are Six Main Air Pollutants. These Are: Particle pollution Carbon monoxide Lead Sulphur oxides Ground level ozone Nitrogen oxides When human beings are exposed to these pollutants for a prolonged period, they are likely to suffer from serious medical issues that can range from respiratory problems to cardiovascular issues to neurological malfunctions to skin and eye infections. Particulate Matter And Its Deadly Effects On Health Out of all the air mentioned above pollutants, one of the most damaging element is the pollution caused by particulate matter. Particulate matter (PM) is very bad for health since it adversely affects the cardio-pulmonary system. Another statistic published by the World Health Organization suggests that PM-related air pollution causes roughly 800,000 deaths per year [1]. Particulate matter is a lethal mixture of minute particles and liquid droplets that consist of dust particles, acids, and other irritants. Particulate Matter can be classified based on the size of the particles. For instance, if the size of the particles is less than 2.5 micrometers, then they are known as PM2.5. This is the most dangerous kind of PM as it tends to embed themselves into the air passages and cause respiratory problems. They are also linked to coronary artery disease since they negatively affect the coagulation process and platelet activation [2]. Curcumin – A Natural Remedy For Health Effects Of PM Related Air Pollution Curcumin is a polyphenol found in turmeric. It is the main reason behind many of the therapeutic qualities found in turmeric. There are several characteristics of curcumin that help tone down the severity of the health effects perpetrated by prolonged exposure to particulate matter. Here are some ways in which it can help people fight the adverse effects of air pollution on health: A study conducted by Zhiguo Zhang and team [3] and team has gone to prove that curcumin has a positive effect on human bronchial epithelial cells or HBEC that have been exposed to PM2.5 for a long duration. It also states that curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that are useful in protecting the human air passages from the harmful side effects of inhaling PM2.5 laced air. Another study carried out by Abderrrahim Nemmar and team has proven that curcumin can protect the respiratory and cardiovascular system from the hazardous effects of particulate matter produced by diesel engines by inhibiting the activity of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α). This is because of the anti-inflammatory nature of curcumin [4]. Turmeric has fantastic expectorant properties. When mixed with other natural phlegm loosening agents like onions or ginger and honey, it can be very effective in decongesting the airways that have been congested due to extended exposure to PM2.5. Curcumin helps in detoxifying the body by boosting the function of the liver and the kidneys. Both the liver and the kidneys are organs that work towards eliminating the toxins from the body. Curcumin has broad spectrum anti-microbial properties that make it very useful when it comes to fighting lung infections arising from inhaling PM2.5 laden air. Many bacteria and viruses can be stopped in their tracks by taking a regular dose of curcumin every day. Bagdara Farms, an Indian agricultural venture, has taken a step towards helping people battle the menace that arises from PM2.5 induced air pollution using curcumin. A stretch of verdant farmland stretching across the Bandhavgarh forests, Bagdara farms has been devoted to the cultivation of high-quality curcumin that is grown using state-of-the-art organic farming techniques. As a result, the curcumin that comes out of Bagdara is top-notch and contains no chemical residues at all.

Curcumin – A Superfood That Can Protect You From The Effects Of Air Pollution
Listen To Article [sc_embed_player fileurl=”https://bagdarafarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/apoorva-pollutamin.mp3″] Developing nations across the globe have recently come face to face with a sinister monster that has been birthed by the industrialization drives that have been underway for decades now. This rather scary fallout of industrial progress is air pollution. In India, air pollution has slowly crept up to the 5th position in a list of factors that can cause premature deaths. While factory chimneys and vehicle exhausts are the topmost contributors to this growing level of pollutants in the air, there are quite a few other factors that most people are unaware of. These include dust mites trapped in carpets and upholstery, smoke emanating from crop burning exercises, chemicals present in air fresheners, chemicals released by furniture varnish, and so on. Many people mistakenly believe that if they were to stay indoors they would be absolutely safe from polluted air. While staying indoors cuts down your exposure to harmful gases emitted as part of vehicular smoke, there are still plenty of substances in the air at home that can cause quite a bit of damage to your body. Over time many studies have been conducted to zero in on remedies that are natural and can help improve your immunity so that you are better prepared to battle an onslaught of pollutants. Out of all the items that have been studied, there is one that has emerged as the most effective against the ill effects of air pollution – curcumin. A natural polyphenolic pigment found in turmeric, curcumin has been used as part of Ayurvedic recipes for years. It is believed to possess a rich cache of therapeutic qualities that can help manage many every day as well as complex illnesses better. In the case of air pollution, curcumin acts as a detoxifying agent that can help purge the toxins that have built up internally due to years of inhaling polluted air. Read How Curcumin Benefits in Battling the Outcomes of Air Pollution: Curcumin is a well-known anti-inflammatory agent that can act quickly on internal as well as external inflammation to reduce its intensity. One of the most nagging side effects of air pollution is respiratory inflammation that manifests in the form of agitated airways that cause shortness of breath, wheezing, and COPD or asthma-like symptoms. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of curcumin helps in tuning down the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes in the body and hence reduces the swelling in the airways, therefore, making it easier for you to breathe. Curcumin has broad-spectrum anti-microbial properties that can help fight pollution-induced infections in the respiratory as well as cardiovascular systems. Even skin infections that are caused as a result of too much exposure to polluted air can be treated with the help of curcumin. Curcumin is very effective against pathogens of all kinds as it is able to target the pathogenic cells and induce apoptosis or cell death in them. Curcumin is a strong antioxidant that helps in reducing the level of oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress, a phenomenon that is triggered by overexposure to polluted air, occurs when the quantity of free radicals increases drastically in the body causing unfavourable results like premature ageing, chronic inflammation, and reduction of immune strength. Curcumin helps in balancing the pro-oxidant and antioxidant species in the body thereby effectively lowering the level of oxidative stress. Curcumin acts as a natural expectorant and can be consumed regularly to get rid of phlegmatic coughing and wheezing. A homemade cough remedy that consists of jaggery, curcumin powder, and clarified butter or ghee is very effective in reducing the swelling in the airways as well as loosening the phlegm that causes the persistent coughing and the wheezing. Pollutamin-PM2.5 is a very effective natural product that can help you fight the ill effects of the most terrible form of air pollutants known as Particulate Matter 2.5 or PM2.5. Pollutamin-PM2.5 is made by the kind folks at Bagdara Farms using curcumin that is organic and completely natural. Consumption of this supplement every day can help you get rid of all those awful side effects that are caused as a result of constant exposure to polluted air.

Then there are some other particles that can only be detected with the help of a microscope as they are so tiny. These are PM 2.5 which are fine particles that can be inhaled with the air. Where does PM come from? The particulate matter particles are in various shapes and sizes and can come from various kinds of chemicals that are mixed in the air. Some may come directly from a source like fires, construction sites, fields that are being harvested etc. Whereas there are other particles that are the result of complex reactions that take place in the atmosphere. These are sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide etc. They may come from vehicles, power plants and factories. What effect does PM have? Since PM is so small, it can be inhaled along with the air and lead to worrisome health issues. The particles that are less than 10 micrometers in diameters are most dangerous since they get deep set into the lungs or may enter the bloodstream causing some serious health hazards. 5 is the main cause of the lower visibility in cities like Delhi that is the current problem.
