Terrific Turmeric

Turmeric is a magic spice for brain. Something which is so widely used in Indian cooking, can do wonders for our brain health.

The ingredient Curcumin, which gives turmeric its famous yellow colour is its most active ingredient.

It directly enters in the brain and benefits the cells there, thereby improving the brain function.

It has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties and is as effective as medicines minus the side-effects.

Curcumin helps treat depression by boosting serotonin and dopamine levels, thereby acting as a mood booster. It even lowers stress hormones such as cortisol.

Curcumin is also found to improve memory in Alzheimer patients as it helps to clear plaques that are the root cause of this neurodegenerative disease.

So, you can start your day with a hot cuppa of turmeric tea or end it with a glass of warm ‘haldi-wala’ milk. And if you still find turmeric old-fashioned, then ‘turmeric-latte’ anyone?
