Hey, hivers! I hope your all well and healthy. For the past weeks, i've gotten colds, coughs, and sore throats more often. So i decided to make my turmeric juice again (see:My secret elixir). I've learned this recipe during pandemic and i always feel instantly better. However, due to life's demands recently, I've stopped making this health potion and got sickly. So i'm bringing this ritual back again.
I'm happy we scored a healthy turmeric produce in the market last Saturday and bought 2 kilos of turmeric. In our household, my dad and I are the only ones drinking this juice because my other family members can't stand the strong taste. In my case, i've already got accustomed to its taste. My trick when drinking this juice is to pair it with something savory like meat, pizza, or chips to take away the bitterness.
Another downside of making this healthy elixir is the strong yellow color that will stick to your hands for days, looking like you have jaundice. So i try to prep this on weekends or on days that i'm only at home.
For today's batch, i prepared a concentrated drink for my dad and I, good for the whole week. So on the following days, i'll only add half a cup of this concentrated juice mixed with hot water.
Turmeric benefits
Personally, i've experience better sleep when drinking this juice at night. It brings me to sleep in an instant. It's anti inflammatory and good for digestion too!
Call me old fashion, but i still believe that vitamins and nutrition should always come from our food intake and not from supplements, as they're only secondary. I hope to maintain this ritual even during busy days.
That's it for today's blog. See you in my next one!
Sending some love and light
Love, Jane
