South Asia is the home of curry foods. People of Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are just crazy for curry food items. Even in UK, curry foods are now perhaps more popular than British foods. IN UK, there are nearly 10,000 curry restaurants and thousands of people of South Asian origin earn their livelihood there.
So, it is great to see that Dr. Tze-Pin Ng from National University of Singapore and colleagues have come up with a great conclusion in their research: eating curry may help you to fight against aging of your brain. I was particularly happy to see that this news was featured in the home page of Yahoo. The report said:
“In their study, Dr. Tze-Pin Ng from National University of Singapore and colleagues compared scores on the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) for three categories of regular curry consumption in 1,010 nondemented Asians who were between 60 and 93 years old in 2003.
Most of the study subjects consumed curry at least occasionally (once every 6 months), 43 percent ate curry at least often or very often (between monthly and daily) while 16 percent said they never or rarely ate curry.
After taking into account factors that could impact test results, they found that people who consumed curry "occasionally" and "often or very often" had significantly better MMSE scores than did those who "never or rarely" consumed curry.”
Certainly, great news for the curry industry. Curry industry has not flourished in Europe (except Britain) and North America as much it should. This research finding will surely influence some people in the west.
As for me, I am addicted to curry and sometimes 3 meals consist only curry food items. So, I should start cutting back on consuming curry foods.
