Not a morning person? We
get it! No matter how much sleep you may have got the night
before, waking up bright and bushy-tailed is just not a
reality for most… especially if you are parents to
newborns or toddlers. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
start your day off on the right foot. We’ve got a secret
elixir that will transform your well-being and start your
day the right way. It’s…Turmeric, Black
Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, Ginger, and Water to bring it
all together.
Your morning elixir is as
simple as that! Combined together, these five fabulous
ingredients are packed with a powerhouse of vitamins,
antioxidants, and micronutrients that help to combat
inflammation, increase energy and restore and protect gut
health. Let’s look at how each of these ingredients can
increase your health and well-being.
Turmeric:
Turmeric the star of this elixir has shown to have
extremely powerful anti-inflammatory effects. The curcumin
found in turmeric has been deemed effective in treating
inflammation and significantly reduces general joint pains
that can inhibit you from living your life to the fullest.
Not only that, turmeric has the ability to keep you glowing
and youthful and who doesn’t want that?! Other benefits
include:
- Improves digestion.
- Boosts your
immune system. - Aids in weight
management.
Ginger:
Incorporating fresh ginger into your morning shot
is a fantastic way to get your body ready for a demanding
day ahead. Ginger has been shown to increase the levels of
serotonin and dopamine in the brain which helps to keep you
productive, happy and positive throughout your day. You’ll
also benefit from the high levels of
antioxidants.
Black Pepper: Black
pepper aids in activating the curcumin found in turmeric.
Studies have shown that the combination of curcumin and
piperine (found in black pepper) improves health due to
their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and disease-fighting
qualities.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Raw
Apple Cider Vinegar contains natural probiotics (friendly
bacteria) which can help you heal any gut issues and boost
your immune system. Research suggests that gut bacteria has
the ability to interact with the nervous system directly
influencing one’s mental stamina, concentration and
focus.
Need a bit of sweetness? Try adding half part
of a freshly squeezed orange to your shot. Not only will
your morning shot taste amazing but you’ll benefit from
the additional vitamin C and antioxidants.
How to
make a turmeric shot?
While freshly blending or
juicing your morning elixir is best, we understand that not
everyone has the luxury of time. For individuals who are
bound to the clock, we recommend investing in a good quality
turmeric paste. Not only will a paste make your life easier
but you’ll benefit from the additional clean ingredients
which will provide you with a daily dose of
goodness.
