Curcumin (turmeric)

In addition to protecting brain health, curcumin may also help prevent diabetes, cancer, heart disease, intestinal disease, arthritis, and inflammation brought on by obesity. Turmeric's main ingredient, curcumin, is what gives the spice its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Black pepper's main element, piperine, may improve your body's absorption of curcumin, increasing the amount of this potent anti-inflammatory molecule that is available to you. In the Caribbean, curry and other foods flavored with Indian spices, such as geera, frequently use turmeric (ground cumin).
