A curry may not be the obvious choice to preserve your grey matter, but one of its spices – Turmeric - could be a key ingredient in protecting the brain against Alzheimer’s Disease. 

Quite apart from its characteristic spiciness, turmeric has long been valued as a herbal medicine that is known to be liver-protective, and soothing for the digestive tract. It has some anti-biotic properties, too. Its active ingredients are three types of  curcuminoids, which are found in its roots – the part of the plant that’s ground up to produce the seasoning popularly called ‘Curcumin’.
