Imagine swapping a cabinet full of medications for a comforting, revitalizing drink—golden milk.
This traditional remedy combines turmeric, milk, and spices known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric, the star ingredient, contains curcumin, which can help reduce inflammation, enhance brain function, and support heart health. Since incorporating golden milk into her daily routine, my 86-year-old grandma feels like she’s 40 again.
She reports more energy, less joint pain, and a brighter mood. To make golden milk, simply mix 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based), ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and optional ginger powder in a pot. Heat until warm, then sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired. Drink it warm each evening for cumulative health benefits and a great start to the next day.
