Turmeric

Turmeric, the dark yellow spice, which is the main component of curry powder, has many advantages for the brain. The active component of turmeric, curcumin, has been demonstrated to cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to reach the brain and help the cells there.

It is a strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound that has been linked to many advantages for the brain. In one research, participants who took curcumin twice daily showed a 28% improvement in memory tests throughout the course of the experiment, in contrast to those who took a placebo, who showed no significant memory benefits. Compared to those who took the placebo, those who got curcumin also experienced slightly better moods.
