There was a study involving 32 women who are menopause and post-menopause. 32 women were divided into three groups, one group consumed Curcuma, the second group did exercise and other group did not do exercise or consume Curcuma. Healthy blood vessels become the focus of the research.
The first group consumed 150 mg curcuma every day that derived from turmeric. The second group doing aerobics three times a week, walking and cycling also. After 8 weeks, the study was completed. Both groups consumed Curcuma and did exercise gives good results. Both of them had the good health of their blood vessels.
The results of these studies could be a motivation for more people to start taking Curcuma and exercise regularly. Although Curcuma can not replace exercise perfectly, both would be nice if combined.
