Turmeric is also known to contain anti-amyloid properties that are vital in treating and may also prevent Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin breaks up amyloid-beta plaques that impair brain function and are associated with Alzheimer's. Turmeric also contains a chemical called turmerone, which is known to stimulate stem cells to create new brain cells. This, in theory, can help with neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease. Curcumin decreases oxidative stress and inflammation, which are two factors that contribute to developing Alzheimer's disease. There is some evidence that suggests turmeric can prevent the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain.
