    Not just South India, whole India uses tumeric, ginger, garlic, cumin as basic ingredients in tadka (tempering). South India uses a lot more spices which have medicinal values and are part of Ayurveda
    And the name curcumin is because of Sanskrit word kunkuma which refers to turmeric in ancient India

      "Many people have heard black pepper can improve absorption of turmeric’s phytonutrients, but this is only because the irritation of the gut by pepper damages the lining of the gut making it easier to absorb compounds into the bloodstream." according to some website. (can't post links) so pepper causes leaky gut.

    I understand that turmeric absorption is also enhanced by oil, since it is oil soluble. The perfect combination for me (in order to avoid oil) is mashed avocado with turmeric and pepper, on toast. Need I say it's delicious, apart from the health benefits Mike describes.

      Curcuma is Latin, which is used in all botanical nomenclature, but in the part of the world where it is used the most it is called haldi. And I wonder why curcumin is almost always touted as the "active ingredient", separated from the rest of the root like a pharmaceutical... when we know plant compounds in foods are synergistic and complement each other. I guess because you can't patent the whole and make money from it?

    Excellent & entertaining as usual. I went through a fermentation phase where I was lacto-fermenting everything and I regularly eat, and used to make: natto, koji rice, nukazuke, and other fermented foods... then I accidentally gave myself food poisoning and decided to stop babysitting jars and just go back to buying these from my local specialists! Actually I had natto and umeboshi with vegan sushi at my favorite Japanese restaurant today for lunch. Also learned to drink unsweetened cranberry juice after kidney stone at age 11, and cook curry routinely- I guess I do most of these ancient things. It gives me the power to spank the like button!

    I think the reason these combinations were identified as effective by ancient peoples was that they were much more aware of their bodies than we are today. Whereas people in today's technological society are highly identified with their minds, and not at all (generally speaking) with their bodies, people back then were likely extremely sensitive to the effects that various combinations of plants produced in them. They also had the benefit of not having their bodies totally colonized by the pharmaceutical - industrial complex and its myriad mind-altering chemicals. In short, pre-historic peoples were likely much more in touch with Being than we are today.

    Mic- I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. Also by way of a side note you look much better without the beard!

    Fascinating. I had no idea that soaking nuts makes the nutrients more available. I used to soak a lot but got out of the habit. I want to start up again.

    Curcumin is Latin nomenclature for tumeric (curcumino in Spanish), hence the naming of said compound.

    I had to instantly like the video when Mic said "you can stop watching" and I know we've probably done to death the "look how hot Mic is without his beard" but I'm just going to say again, ya damn sexy Mic.

    Noticed one of the studies noted that turmeric/pepper lowers renal inflammation and bladder inflammation. Wouldn’t recommend. Both spices are high in oxalates that can tear your kidneys apart. But cranberry juice does help if you have recurrent UTI’s it won’t get rid of them but it’ll calm the bladder. Urological nurse here.

    • @karlwheatley1244

      Hmm. People eat MUCH lower volumes of spices than of other foods that contain oxalates. So do you have any peer-reviewed studies showing that tiny amount of oxalates has harmed people? Thanks.

    • @ineedvyvanse3493
      @ineedvyvanse3493 4 роки тому

      Karl Wheatley yeah I could easily find some. I’ve also worked first hand with patients suffering from oxalate caused kidney stones that can be prevented. Thanks.

    Mic, love the video. But question- what you think about Dr. Greger not recommending kimchi due to an increase in cancer risk?

    • @DJaneSyria
      @DJaneSyria 4 роки тому +1

      I thought the same. I stopped eating my home made kimchi for this reason.

    I grow turmeric and use it with pepper in most meals, except I use it with cinnamon in oatmeal and pancakes.
    UTI - drink 8oz water every 30 minutes for 4 hours. Boom.

    Thank you btw so much for taking the common discourse regarding veganism in the direction that you did. Towards science, encouraging whole food plant based, no use diets and living in Taiwan. Sorry, sometimes just remember where we used to be and how far we have come and how appreciative I am! 😅💕

    I'd never heard of' Seitan' before going vegan, but apparently historians have found that Seitan was developed by monks possibly as far back as 5,000 years ago, although not a 'health hack', I just found that interesting.
