I have been hearing about the Turmeric rave that's been going on for some time now. It is a yellow/orange-ish spice from India built with powerful antioxidants. I've been drinking water with lemon every day because it definitely gives me a energy boost, increases your metabolism, and it aids in weight loss. I was inspired by my friend, Richelle who made an immunity shot with turmeric (You can find her recipe here). So I was like, hmm... I have turmeric at home, and I just borrowed some lemons from some person's tree (lol), let me go do some research! We had turmeric in our spice collection already since it's a typical ingredient my dad would use for many of his Bengali dishes before. So it was super perfect. For some reason, I felt led to create a little healthy drink to feed my body some healthy, high vibrational foods that will make my body happy. After all, I can't eat hot cheetos every day and expect my body to react happily (although, I wish that were the case, lol).
I did tons of research on the benefits that turmeric carries. So here it goes:
Anti-inflammatory properties
Anti-cancer properties
Anti-bacterial properties
Battles against free radicals
Removes toxins from liver
Helps manage depression
Arthritis management
Diabetes management
This is basically what I have learned about the benefits of turmeric. You can totally go on ahead and check out Google to see how else more turmeric can benefit your health dramatically. There is also tons of benefits drinking honey and lemon as well!
I have been drinking this for about a week and definitely can tell the benefits I have been reaping. I have more energy, I go to the bathroom easily, my mood is enhanced, I don't feel groggy. It's a great drink to drink in the mornings.
TIP: As for lemons, you can probably take a walk around a neighborhood and find yourself a lemon tree with tons of them mothaf*ckas. Lol. I literally did that and here I made an abundant detox tea.
PS: I also heard that this detox drink is great for hangovers. I haven't tried that yet. But if I ever do come across a hangover, I will try it out and update you if it remedies the hangover. It is said that it cleanses out the toxins.
Here is to another amazing ingredient that comes with powerful benefits to our health. Drop a comment and let me know how you thought of it.
