After a lazy summer with nice food and too many drinks it felt so good to finally be back in business with my workout routine again. Went to my first class on Monday so now I'm all sore and can barley move, no kidding. But as they say: No pain, no gain. Tonight I'm off again and to prep my muscles so they cope I have cuddled up in the couch with a warm cup of Golden Milk.
For centuries this beautiful yellow beverage has been used both in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, but here in the West there still might be some who haven't heard about it before. If so or not, it's really worth repeating due to all its amazing health benefits.
The yellow color comes from curcumin, found in the main ingredient; the turmeric. In India they call it "The Spice of Life" which sums it up just wonderfully. Turmeric is one of Mother nature's most potent anti-inflammatory with over 600(!) potential health benefits such as:
– better digestion
– liver detoxifying
– lower blood sugar levels
– improved skin
– increased memory and brain function
– more flexible joints and muscles
– stronger immune system
So, as you can see this extraordinary elixir is a real must. I try to make sure I have at least one cup a day. Here's what you need:
GOLDEN MILK
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp black pepper*
1/2 tbs coconut oil*
boiling hot water
plant based milk (I use organic oat milk)
If you prefer you can always add more spices such as:
Fresh ginger
Chili
Cardamum
Ceylon cinnamon
Vanilla
I normally just put all spices and the coconut oil in a big cup, pour boiling hot water over and then top it off with oat milk. Just as simple as that! Remember to always use organic ingredients.
*Studies have shown that by adding black pepper the bioavailability (absorption in the body) of the turmeric is increased by 2000%(!). The coconut oil also helps to increase the absorption as the turmeric is fat-soluble. Therefore, to get the most out of this super spice, it's highly recommended that you include these two in your drink.
To notice the benefits it's recommended to take at least 1 tbs a day.
And a little friendly reminder – be aware when both preparing and drinking it. This yellow wonder stains extremely easy. In India it's also used as a fabric dye... Well, I told you it was a multi-tasker.
Enjoy and happy health! xx
