Switch up your breakfast with cooked cereal. Your body and mind will thank you! I always have a mug of golden milk too!
Golden milk:
Use a good quality powered turmeric. Put a few heaping T. in a small saucepan with enough water to completely absorb the powder to a runny consistency. Stir over low heat for about 5 min. You may need to add a bit more water. Remove when the paste becomes almost dry.The purpose of making turmeric paste is to make it absorb easily in whatever you want to use it for, not just golden milk! Store the paste in the fridge for a good 2 weeks. It will not keep forever so use it!
In a mug, pour your favourite plant-based milk. Add a heaping tsp. of turmeric paste. Stir well. Add a tiny amt. of coconut oil which is necessary for the turmeric to be absorbed in your bloodstream more effectively along with a few good shakes of ground black pepper. These two additions are necessary for complete absorbtion of the anti-inflammatory properties of the turmeric. The remainimg additions are totally up to you:
Freshly grated ginger
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Organic raw honey
All of the above have their own medicinal properties!
I do use a microwave to heat my golden milk but it is totally fine to heat up everything on the stove.
Enjoy daily.
Note:
To feel the anti-inflammatory benefits of golden milk you do need to drink it daily and it will take time to feel improvement if you have inflammation of the joints in particular. Prevention of inflammation is key also, so drinking golden milk can help. I have been drinking it for years and when I stop for any length of time, I do notice a difference.
*High impact physical activity will catch up with wear and tear of your joints and ligaments. Believe me, I am living proof from my years of long-distance running. No one will escape the sore knees later in life unless you try some prevention early.
Side note: Taking a turmeric supplement works too. I take one of high-quality capsule daily along with my golden milk.
