It outperforms medications.
Chronic inflammation is a key factor in many pathologies, such as osteoarthritis, asthma, diabetes, as well as in several autoimmune diseases such as lupus or thyroiditis. To combat this persistent inflammation, many people are turning to natural remedies. Dr. Eric Berg, a doctor and nutrition expert with a huge following on YouTube, emphasizes the importance of diet. According to him, “the most anti-inflammatory food in the world is neither turmeric nor ginger, and even less blueberries.”
The expert reveals that a simple teaspoon per day of this ingredient could reduce joint inflammation by 60% and would even be more effective than the famous ibuprofen. “The unique compound in this food is called thymoquinone: it has a direct anti-inflammatory effect comparable to that of over-the-counter pain relievers” he explains in a video. A benefit confirmed by a study published on Science Direct, which highlights the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties of thymoquinone, to fight against chronic inflammation.
The most anti-inflammatory food in the world is black cumin seed oil, also known as black seed oil (Nigella Sativa). This product is widely available in pharmacies, parapharmacies as well as in organic or natural product stores, in the form of bottles or capsules. To fully benefit from its benefits, it is essential to choose quality, virgin, cold-pressed black seed oil.
Although black seed oil is generally safe when consumed in recommended doses (1 teaspoon per day), precautions are necessary. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as well as in children under 6 years of age, due to lack of sufficient data. In addition, taken on an empty stomach or in too large quantities, it can cause gastrointestinal disorders.
Due to its effects on blood pressure, blood sugar and its moderate anticoagulant action, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting a treatment, especially if you are taking medications such as anticoagulants, antidiabetics or antihypertensives.
