3.Resveratrol
It’s been studied for nearly 30 years. Scientists used to think this is what made red wine good for your heart, but that doesn’t seem to have held up. We still have a lot to learn about this compound in grapes, some berries, and — surprise! — peanuts, but it has shown promise as a possible cancer fighter and brain booster.
4.Curcumin
This gives the spice turmeric its deep yellow-orange hue. Common in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian dishes, turmeric is trendy with health-conscious Americans, showing up on menus at juice bars and coffeehouses. It may protect against type 2 diabetes, cut inflammation, and fight depression, but seasoning a meal won’t give you enough to be effective. And taking it as a supplement could change how some prescription drugs work.
