The golden drink: that precious Turmeric and milk

Turmeric is best known as the most powerful natural antibiotic that has ever existed. People from around the globe keep referring to it as the ‘nature’s most precious gift’. And yet it seems that in the western society the famed herb started to gain popularity only relatively recently.

In short, it’s ginger’s older sister and its main qualities go well past just adding color and flavor to your favorite meals. It is a healing food of medicinal value thanks to its main compound – curcumin. The latter has long been under a watchful eye of the researchers for having undeniable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

And when you pair turmeric with milk you enhance its healing qualities and get yourself a delicious cocktail loaded with immunity-enhancing qualities. The ‘golden drink’, as it’s sometimes called, is traditional for many cultures, especially India where it’s been used for over 5,000 years for treating ailments and strengthening overall health.
