Turmeric (Haldi), a popular ingredient in Indian curries, may also be helpful in fighting drug-resistant tuberculosis. Researchers said that it has many health benefits as it contains anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and now even anti-cancer properties.

However, both these diets have many other health benefits for improving brain functioning in adults.
