The following turmeric drinks contain turmeric, ginger, green tea, honey, and non-dairy milk. Read on to learn about the benefits of each of these ingredients and why you should add them to your diet regularly. (if you don’t already)
Turmeric Drinks Benefits
Turmeric – is a spice that has a lot of antioxidants that help reduce inflammation, pain, and oxidative stress. Most research shows that turmeric has the same effect (if not better) as ibuprofen. I add it to my recipes to help with my RA symptoms.
Ginger – has antifungal, and anti-bacterial, along with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps with oxidative stress, inflammation, and digestion, and also reduces bloating and gas.
Green Tea – comes second to hibiscus tea when it comes to high antioxidants. It’s great for skin, heart health, diabetes, and inflammation along with oxidative stress. You can have up to 3 cups of green tea per day for the best benefits.
Raw Honey – is so similar to ginger because it also contains anti-fungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
However, raw honey comes with extra vitamins and minerals such as niacin and riboflavin calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.
Oat & Almond Milk – both contain a good amount of vitamins A, E, & B along with a little bit of vitamin D and calcium. They are also dairy-free which is great for those with lactose intolerance or digestive problems.
