Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Curcumin or the active ingredient of turmeric is a powerful antioxidant which can provide many health benefits.
We recommend you to try turmeric water which has numerous healing properties, mainly if you combine it with lemon juice.
This is how to prepare it:
Warm Turmeric Water with Lemon
Needed Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon of turmeric
- ½ lemon
- Organic honey
- Warm water
Directions:
You need to squeeze the lemon juice into a glass and pour the warm water into it. Then, mix it along with the turmeric. Add the honey and make sure to mix them well. Enjoy your drink!
Benefits of turmeric water:
1. Keeps Diabetes in Check
Turmeric has the ability to regulate insulin resistance and to prevent diabetes type 2.
But, it is very important to consult your doctor before using it because when it is combined with certain medications, it can cause some side-effects such as hypoglycemia.
2. Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties
As we said before, curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can prevent chronic inflammation.
3. Relieves Arthritis
The antioxidant properties of the turmeric can remove free radicals from the body. You can relieve joint inflammation and joint pain by regular consumption of turmeric water.
4. Prevents Heart Disease
Many researchers find out that turmeric has the ability to prevent the plaque accumulation in the arteries, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 121 patients who needed coronary artery bypass were included in a study which proved that they can reduce the risk of heart attack up to 65% by taking 4 grams of turmeric a day.
5. Prevents Cancer
Turmeric can prevent the tumor cells proliferation, and the risk of developing cancer can be reduced by regular consumption of turmeric.
