Ginger + Turmeric Latte and Ginger + Turmeric Iced Tea Drink
I want to share with you 2 of my favorite drinks that I have been loving all of 2017. These 2 drinks have amazing health benefits. The fresher the ingredients the more potent the benefits. It has also helped me get my health back on track after a serious condition i experienced earlier this year. below I have listed the recipes for these delicious spiced beverages you can enjoy all year.
Ginger
Ginger is a tasty, warming spice that offers numerous medicinal benefits from its gingerols, which is the oily resin from the ginger root that offers powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Israeli researchers have found that it offers dramatic effects for heart health, including reducing cholesterol levels, preventing the oxidation of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, and preventing atherosclerosis.
Turmeric
There are also many different things, including turmeric, which can help reverse its progress before it’s too late. Curcumin, a powerful compound found in turmeric, helps to improve the function of the endothelium, which is the lining of the blood vessels. An endothelial dysfunction is a significant factor in this disease as it much more difficult for the endothelium to regulate blood clotting, blood pressure, and other essential processes.
Ginger + Turmeric Latte
Turmeric is the vibrant orange-yellow spice affectionately known as the magic sword against inflammation, birthed in India and crowned centuries ago as one of the great dosha balancers in ayurvedic medicine. With all the healing benefits, you can taste the inherent goodness with each sip. It is just as delicious as it is nutritious. Let's Drink up to Good Health!
