Tumeric & Blueberries Alzheimers

Researchers at UCLA found that curcumin in turmeric protects the brain against plaque in the synapses of rats, indicating that the plaque found in the brain of Alzheimer's patients also respond to turmeric. Interestingly enough, India, a country where turmeric is widely used, has very little Alzheimer's disease. Black pepper has also been shown to enhance the power of memory.

A 1999 Tufts University study of 40 fruits and vegetables found that raw blueberries contained the highest level of antioxidants. Animals fed a blueberry extract diet outperformed other animals in memory tests, and showed less degeneration of motor skills due to aging.
