If you eat curry, make it yellow.

Accumulating research shows that turmeric -- a yellow-orange spice in yellow curried Indian and Asian food -- might help prevent and disintegrate plaques in the brain. The plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, with its accompanying dementia and memory loss.

Turmeric's active ingredient is curcumin, shown in lab and animal tests to be anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunity-boosting. UCLA researchers just wrapped up a study on whether Alzheimer's patients improve from taking curcumin.
