The scent of coriander is very special. People who like it will love it, and those who don't love it will hate it! However, coriander is a very beneficial food that can enhance memory and promote detoxification.
Some studies conducted a 45-day test with white mice as subjects. The white mice were fed with fresh coriander every day, and various types of intelligence tests were performed on them. The results found that the white mice's memory was greatly improved!
The reason is that coriander contains anticholinesterase enzyme, which specifically breakdown the cholinesterase enzyme (an enzyme that reduces memory) and makes the brain works better!
In addition to improving memory, coriander also promotes detoxification and remove toxins from the body. A study from Japan found that white mice that consumed coriander had lower levels of lead (a substance that causes kidney damage) than white mice that did not consume coriander.
Besides, coriander contains coriandrol, an aromatic substance that can treat liver cancer. When combined with a low-fat diet and avoidance of hydrogenated fats, coriander is effective in preventing certain cancers such as liver, breast and colon cancer.
Due to its strong flavour, few people eat it as a main dish, and most people often use it as a spice or condiment. If you are interested in brain supplements, a nutritionist might suggest that you can mix them with other fruits, such as apples, lemons, pineapples, and so on.
While coriander may have many health benefits, care should still be taken because the volatile oil of coriander seeds can cause allergy in some people while coriander powder may trigger asthma attacks and bronchitis among chronic sufferers.
