Benefit 5: Turmeric can help prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain. Research suggests that curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier and has the potential to clear these plaques. Additionally, curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may help reduce oxidative damage and inflammation in the brain, which are key contributors to Alzheimer’s disease. While more research is needed, including turmeric in your diet may offer some protection against cognitive decline.
