 | Turmeric root has been used for thousands of years and contains medicinal compounds, mainly curcumin, that make this special spice a real superfood! Some benefits of Turmeric are: • Anti inflammatory properties - relieves pain and swelling from injuries as well as arthritis, asthma and other inflammatory diseases, in turn, also helping to lower cholesterol levels. • High in antioxidants • Anti bacterial and immune boosting (great for coughs and colds) • Analgesic properties • Turmeric is also linked to the prevention of cancer cell growth and inhibits the growth of new blood vessels in tumours! A real super food in my books 👌 |
 | Below is a turmeric milk recipe I often make in the evening: Serves 2 500ml almond milk (you any milk of your choice) 2 inch piece of fresh turmeric (chopped or grated) 2 teaspoons raw organic honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 3-4 cloves Small pinch black pepper (this increases the absorption of curcumin) Heat all ingredients in saucepan while stirring or if you have a Thermomix - speed 3 until it reaches 70 degrees. Use a strainer and pour milk into mugs and sprinkle with more cinnamon! Enjoy! |
