Curcuma is good for your memory

The Indian spice curcuma or turmeric is not only good for losing weight, researchers have also discovered it is good for your memory.

Is has already been shown that curcuma is good for a diet, now it also been shown that curcuma is good against dementia. Researcher professor Doraiswamy of the Duke University Medical Center has shown that curcuma binds plaque in the brains. Plaque plays a crucial role in the memory loss of patients with dementia. Curcuma, according to the researcher, stops the further spreading of the plaque.

At a medical congres in Liverpool professor Doraiswamy told that you can genetically modify mice in such a manner that their brains are full of plaque after 12 months. When you serve them a diet that is rich in curcuma, the plaque dissolves again.

According to the research it should be enough to eat a meal with curcuma two or three times a week to reduce the risk of getting dementia.
