In the USA scientists from the University of Los Angeles also came to the conclusion that regular consumption of curcumin (main component in turmeric) improves memory and brain function through its anti-inflammatory action. They conducted an experiment involving people aged 50 to 90 years, among whom were those who had memory problems, and those from whom they have already been noted. A year and a half of the subjects had used curcumin at least twice a week.
As a result, scientists were able to verify that people who regularly eat turmeric, significantly improved the performance of memory, ability to concentrate, and emotional state. People in the brain which were attended by plaques of amyloid, the concentration decreased.
For products with omega-3, doctors say that they are “equally important” to maintain as long as possible the good condition of the brain, and, consequently, of youth. The best sources of these substances — fatty sea fish, unrefined vegetable oils, nuts, avocado. The results of the study were published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
