Extended data:
American researchers have found that curry is not an ordinary seasoning product, but also has a variety of health care functions. The researchers said that turmeric, the main component of curry, contains high content of curcumin, and animal experiments have confirmed that curcumin can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, especially for colon cancer and rectal cancer.
In addition, curcumin has a good liver protection effect. After curcumin enters the human body, it can activate the P450 enzyme system of the human body, thus accelerating the excretion of liver toxins. Therefore, eating curry often helps to prevent liver cirrhosis and other liver diseases.
Other components of curry, such as coriander seed, have strong antibacterial effect, especially inhibiting diarrhea caused by intestinal microorganisms. In addition, coriander also has the functions of enhancing intestinal function and improving human immunity.
