The amazing power of curry: Why eating this dish is so good for your health

( Natural News ) Once just a staple in Indian homes, curry has become a worldwide sensation in recent years. From England to Japan — the world is in love with curry, and there are easily dozens (if not hundreds) of ways to prepare it. From its distinct aroma to its unique flavor, the dish has truly found a home in the hearts of culinary lovers. What is even more amazing about curry is that it has a multitude of health benefits. A study published in Nutrition Journal found that curry can greatly benefit cardiovascular health . Curry helps increase blood flow Researchers asked 14 healthy male subjects to eat either a spice-free control meal or a 500-calorie curry meal. The latter, in particular, consisted of 180 grams of curry or control and 200 grams of rice. Before the activity, researchers obtained initial data about the participants’ blood vessel profiles. They also got the same data an hour after eating the curry meal. Based on the results, researchers found that those who ate a curry-free meal had a significant decrease in blood flow. In contrast, they found that participants who ate a single serving of curry had an increase in blood flow. From this, the researchers concluded that the consumption of curry prevented the inner lining of the blood vessels (endothelium) from constricting, thereby, increasing blood flow in the cardiovascular system. Moreover, they attributed curry’s effect on blood flow to its ingredients — all of which are known antioxidants. This makes curry a great addition to diets, especially for those at risk of atherosclerosis.
