Can turmeric boost your mood and memory, reduce inflammation and act as a painkiller?

Michael Mosley reveals the beneficial compound in turmeric that could boost your memory, and help fight off the pain of arthritis.

Turmeric is a close relative of ginger – it has a similar knobbly root-like stem. The golden-hued powder of turmeric adds colour and flavour to food, but it’s also been linked to some surprising health benefits. As well as helping with wound healing and skin conditions, it’s been linked to better brain health.  Michael Mosley speaks to Dr. Benny Antony from the University of Tasmania in Australia who has found that turmeric extract was as effective as ibuprofen to reduce pain levels.  Meanwhile, our volunteer Yu She cooks up a storm with chicken korma and turmeric pancakes.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
