What is so special about turmeric?
Turmeric, also known as turmeric, is a plant of the ginger family. The root of turmeric has been used in traditional Indian medicine and cooking for centuries.
One of turmeric’s unique properties is its active ingredient, curcumin, which gives it its distinctive golden color. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the body and protect the body from free radical damage.
There is also evidence that curcumin may have beneficial effects on cognitive function, as it may help reduce the formation of amyloid beta plaques in the brain, which have been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
