Turmeric, is a powerful super food mainly found in the spice curry. Turmeric has been used to naturally treat inflammation, heartburn, intestinal issues, depression, and pain.

A recent study published in Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that turmeric can also enhance memory in adults.

Researchers looked at people 60 years and older with a recent diagnosis of untreatable pre-diabetes. The subjects were given either a placebo, two grams of cinnamon, one gram of turmeric, or both cinnamon and turmeric during breakfast. Researchers also performed a series of memory tests before they were given breakfast and after.

Researchers found turmeric improved working memory over a span of six hours in the older test subjects with pre-diabetes.
