UCLA scientists and colleagues from UC Riverside and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute have found that a form of vitamin D, together with a chemical found in turmeric spice called curcumin, may help stimulate the immune system to clear the brain of amyloid beta, which forms the plaques considered the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

Maybe there really is something to ayurvedic medicine, which is the traditional form of medicine of India. In any case, eat your veggies, which, if they are Indian, probably contain turmeric.
