Turmeric may boost people's memories by nearly 30 percent and ease depression, new research suggests.
Taking a compound found in the popular Indian spice, known as curcumin, causes people to have significantly less protein build-up in the regions of the brain associated with memory and emotion, a US study found.
Past studies have linked the onset of Alzheimer's disease to the accumulation of protein plaques in the brain.
Curcumin, which gives turmeric its yellow color, is thought to improve memory and boost mental health due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation has previously been linked to both dementia and severe depression.

A lot of potato farmers now grow Turmeric too. It's a hot trending commodity.
Now, where did I leave that bottle of cumin capsules?
And my keys. Who's seen my keys?
Crap, I'm the only one here.
I'm doomed.

It's turmeric, not cumin. C'mon, let's go to the kitchen for a nice cup of tea.
I would prepare my co-workers lunch from here on out for sure.
