It has been known that India has the world’s
lowest rate of Alzheimer’s Disease. To understand Ayurveda- traditional
wisdom, their lifestyle and food intake may reveal the secret.
One of common food ingredients use in every
house of Indian is turmeric, the golden spice which contains powerful
antioxidant – curcumin. Indian people have used turmeric powder for hundreds of
centuries not only in their everyday food but also in Ayurvedic
medicine
herbalism, wedding ceremony, and daily mask claimed to clear
acne and nourish skin either use it directly on the face or mixed together with
milk.
There are
estimates that people in India take about 2 grams of turmeric per day from the
food intake and that provides roughly 100 mg of curcumin. Some scientists think
that the regular ingestion of this spice help reduce rate of Alzheimer's
disease in India. The
prevalence of Alzheimer's among adults in India aged 70 to 79 is among the
world's lowest. It is 4.4 times less than the rate in the United States.
