• Lowers risks of cancer

 There has been increasing evidence that shows inflammation is linked to depression and studies have shown that curcumin relieves inflammation of our immune system. Studies of curcumin in animals have also found that the spice could have an impact on dopamine and serotonin which are brain chemicals that control our behavior and mood. Curcumin also changes parts of our brain that respond to stress. It can also prevent damage to our cell structures that produce energy.
