Turmeric and Lemon Morning Elixir To Treat And Fight Inflammation

Turmeric and lemon combined can fight diseases and inflammation. With a morning elixir, you can see the effects. Check out the article we found at The Nutrition Watch Dog.

The Turmeric and Lemon Morning Elixir
1 serving
Prep Time- 5 minutes
Cook Time- no cooking

Ingredients
What you’ll need…
1/2 of a lemon, squeezed for juice
1/4 – 1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1 cup warm water, and/or coconut milk (the coconut milk adds healthy fats, and helps absorption of turmeric)

How to make it…

Mix the lemon juice, turmeric and honey into your cup of warm water or milk. You will want to stir these ingredients well. Add cinnamon on top and continue to stir your morning elixir as you drink it — this will ensure that the turmeric does not settle at the bottom of your cup.

Turmeric with its main active ingredient, curcumin, may be that one healthy addition to your morning routine you’ve been looking for, and can help you fight inflammation in your body.  I enjoy this elixir nearly every morning with fruit, which adds a sweet, delicious twist.

Note from The Nutrition Watchdog:

I would highly suggest always making sure to take turmeric with a source of FAT… taking turmeric with fat greatly helps your body absorb it.  So you could add a splash of MCT oil (coconut based) or even olive oil to this daily drink concoction to help your body absorb it better…
