Scientists at the National University of Singapore investigated the curry habits of a thousand Asians between 60 and 93 who were unaffected by Alzheimer's, reports Sky News.
Those who ate curry once or more in six months, or more than once a month scored higher results on a thinking test than those who never or rarely ate it.
"What is remarkable is that apparently one needs only to consume curry once in a while for the better cognitive performance to be evidenced", one of the scientists said.
It's thought that curcumin found in tumeric is responsible for the effect.
The scientists are going to investigate further by eating more curry. Yum.
