Curcumin and heavy metals: what is the connection?
Heavy metals, like iron, copper and chromium are useful to the body in trace
amounts.
But if you live in a city with lots of industry and heavy traffic, chances are you’re getting more metals in your body than it can deal with…
While this may never lead to heavy metal poisoning, over time, it can affect your health.
Find out more below how curcumin could help reduce this overload of heavy metals…
How to tell if you could be affected by Adrenal Fatigue
• You feel tired or weak…
• You need coffee to get going in the mornings…
• Your daily tasks feel like hard work…
• You feel like you’re not coping (it’s all too much)…
• You struggle to concentrate and don’t finish tasks…
• You feel irritable, anxious or depressed…
• Get headaches…
• Reduced interest in sex…
Feeling run down and drained all the time doesn’t have to be your normal state-of-being.
Unfortunately, it is for millions of people – all over the world – who just can’t seem to keep up anymore.
And there’s a very good explanation for this…
Researchers at numerous institutions, including Harvard University, Johns Hopkins and Stanford University identified that certain chemicals gradually build up in your body over time as you age.
Until one day they flick an internal switch that causes your metabolism to drag along at snail’s pace, drop your oxygen levels and dip your hormone levels.
But with the help of certain nutrients, you could help clear out these chemicals and help the adrenals function.
And when this happens, you could restore your energy levels, concentrate and think more clearly and just feel like you´re coping better…
Heavy metal overload can cause problems with the digestive, immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems…
Heavy metals are absorbed into the body by the skin, through breathing in tiny molecules released into the air in the form of pollution, and from food and water.
You may also be directly exposed to products that contain heavy metals – like medicines, food containers, lead-based paints, carpets and rugs, aluminum pots, cosmetics, ceramic dishes, even furniture.
The biggest culprits include:
Mercury
Arsenic
Cadmium
Lead
Beryllium
Chromium
Antimony
Bariumel
Now, while it’s unlikely you would need medical assistance for metal toxicity unless you were constantly or heavily exposed to these metals at higher levels, they can still build up in the body over time and attach to cells – disrupting their normal functions.
The result: Headaches, fatigue, weakness, constipation, muscle pain and joint pain.

Studies show curcumin helps the body deal with heavy metals in various ways
- Curcumin detoxes the liver, whose job it is to rid the body of toxins.
- It prevents cellular damage.
- Reduces lipid oxidation.
- And prevents the depletion of the most important antioxidant the body produces, glutathione.
Remember to always check with your doctor before starting on any new supplements as a precaution.

How to activate the Metabolic Master Switch in your cells for more balanced blood sugar
There’s a natural compound found in a number of plants that’s been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine to help treat a variety of ailments.
It has the ability to help activate an enzyme in cells called the Metabolic Master Switch. When this happens, your body can switch specific genes on and off to regulate your metabolism – at cellular level!
The results: Lower blood sugar levels, improved insulin sensitivity in cells, muscles use more glucose for energy, reduced sugar production in the liver and a delayed breakdown of carbohydrates in the digestive tract.
