It has been proved that consumption of turmeric and its active compound, curcumin, can help the liver efficiently detoxify the body and alleviate some of the effects of dangerous carcinogens. This process operates in tandem with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents of turmeric.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the world and a leading cause of dementia. Unfortunately, for Alzheimer's no good treatment is available yet. Therefore, in the first place preventing it from occurring is of utmost importance. Curcumin has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. It’s known that inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer's disease, and curcumin has beneficial effects on both. In addition, a key feature of Alzheimer's disease is a buildup of protein tangles called amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear these plaques. So curcumin can help prevent a disease for which no good medication has been developed.

Curcumin has been proved to be as effective as an antidepressant. Depression is linked to reduced level of brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) and a shrinking hippocampus (a brain area with a role in learning and memory). Curcumin boosts BDNF levels, potentially reversing some of these changes. Also, People with depression have greater inflammation and oxidative stress, which can affect all major body parts including brain. Chronic inflammation decreases levels of serotonin and dopamine and lead to degeneration in certain brain areas. Possibilities are very high that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Curcumin can restore these neurotransmitters and protect the brain, eventually leading to improvements in mood.
Curcumin from Turmeric exhibits favorable influence in slowing down of ageing process by suppressing age-related changes in inflammatory indices.
