The content of yellow coloring (curcumin) in turmeric can reduce the effects of protein plaques in the brain that can lead to Alzheimer's disease or dementia (dementia), according to the study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry
The study showed that curcumin inhibits the production of amyloid-beta protein, which consists of a plaque that interferes with brain function in people with Alzheimer's.
The researchers note that this study is the first of its kind to determine the mechanism of the effect of curcumin on brain function decline in the disease process.
According to the study published in the Annals of the Indian Academy of Neurology, turmeric also has antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory) and lipid-soluble that can enhance the ability of the brain and keep the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Turmeric reduces oxidative stress, reducing the damage caused by free radicals, inhibiting the formation of beta-amyloid protein, reduces inflammation and protects against brain dysfunction by toxic metals that contribute to disease progression decreased brain function.
Turmeric is also useful in people with depression because turmeric has the ability to regulate the release of neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
