WANT TO PROTECT YOUR MEMORY?Tumeric is a spice of Indian Food. It seems to protect us from memory loss and eventual mental decline caused by Alzheimer's Disease. According to a study by University of California, tumeric contains the chemical compound curcumin ,which reduces inflammation caused by a build up of the protein beta -amyloid. The curcumin in the spice tumeric can actually reverse oxidation damage already done. The rate of Alzheimer's disease in India is extremely low at less than 1% of people over age 65, compared with 3% of people between the ages of 65 and 74 and half of those 85 and older. It is the lowest incidence of AD in the world. Curcumin could be a very exciting natural alternative method of protecting the brain from this devastating illness, according to Jyni Hollander, a nutritionist and registered dietician at New York University.--> return to menu / back ...
