First, what is curcumin?
Curcumin is a component of the spice tumeric, and can be found in typical Indian foods known as curries, or can be taken as a dietary supplement.
Second, how does curcumin prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
Research has shown that curcumin prevents the spread of amyloid protein plaques - thought to cause dementia - in the brain.
Third, how I can get more curcumin in my diet?
Curries, eaten regularly in Indian communities, contain tumeric and hence curcumin. Research has shown that these Indian communities have a surprisingly low incidence of Alzheimer's. But research also suggests that the proper dose of curcumin to prevent dementia is over 100 g of curry power. This clinical dose may be hard to get through diet.
