Hello beloved viewers!
Have you tried turmeric milk?
It’s the new craze!
Also known as “golden milk”, the beverage is made by warming up either traditional or
plant-based milk and mixing it with turmeric as well as other spices.
Originating in India, turmeric milk is becoming popular in North America due to its numerous
health benefits.
Let’s discuss them in greater detail.
Can it detox your liver?
Does it help you lose weight?
Can turmeric milk actually help fight cancer?
We’re talking all that AND more…
It can help you battle cancer
Turmeric milk is said to work as a furious combatant against cancer.
Turmeric acts as an antioxidant.
It reduces the oxidative stress that helps free radicals flourish throughout your body.
This strengthens cancer development.
Studies have linked the raw ginger found in the beverage to lowering your risk of various
cancers.
Turmeric milk also contains the chemical curcumin, which is known to kill cancer cells and prevent
the growth of blood vessels in tumours.
Keep in mind, this research is compelling, but it’s also limited.
While our chances of getting cancer in life are never fully eliminated, the evidence for
turmeric milk lowering the odds seems quite optimistic.
It boosts your immune system
If you are vulnerable to the common cold, this drink might be great for you.
Golden milk can have great benefits if your suffering from cold or sickness.
Let’s talk about curcumin again for a minute.
This chemical contains plenty of antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties that fight
against colds.
Together they tackle dangerous cells and foreign agents, preventing them from infecting your
body.
So if you’re stuck at home with an awful cough and stuffy nose, drink some turmeric
milk as a remedy.
It helps prevent heart disease
Did you know that just one glass of turmeric milk every night can help reduce your risk
of heart issues?
Ingredients such as turmeric, ginger and cinnamon all have links to lowering chances of heart
disease.
In one study conducted, 41 patients with type 2 diabetes were given 2 grams of ginger powder
every day.
After 12 weeks, their risk factors were 23-28% lower than before.
Keeping consistent with our curcumin theme, the chemical may improve your blood vessel
linings.
People undergoing heart surgery are normally given curcumin.
During your hospital stay, you are 65% less likely to suffer a heart attack if you consume
the chemical.
It may lower your blood sugar level
Some research has gone to show that golden milk ingredients, particularly cinnamon and
ginger, help lower blood sugar.
While more compelling evidence in necessary for a conclusion, one study states that 1-6
grams of cinnamon may lower your blood sugar level by 29%.
It may also reduce insulin resistance.
Researchers theorize that cinnamon reduces the glucose level absorbed in your gut after
eating.
They also believe that adding ginger to your diet helps lower your blood sugar by about
12%.
While it may have these benefits, you need to make sure that your golden milk is unsweetened.
Certain brands contain honey and maple syrup, so for the best chances of lowering blood
sugar, stay away from those ingredients.
It detoxifies your liver
If you are suffering from an unhealthy liver, turmeric milk can assist you.
It is important for your liver to go through a cleanse as often as possible.
Research confirms that drinking golden milk will cleanse this organ of toxins.
It will prevent fatty acids and other harmful chemicals from building up in your liver.
This purifies your body and enables you to process food.
It works as an anti-inflammatory
Golden milk can reduce inflammation in the body.
This lessens your chances of developing arthritis, pancreatitis and bowel disease.
It also plays a role in heart disease, Alzheimers and cancer.
If you add turmeric milk as a regular part of your diet, you will most likely see a reduction
in inflammation.
Studies have shown that consuming about 500 mg of curcumin has the same effect as 50 mg
of regular arthritis medication.
Golden milk is said to have a better effect on osteoarthritis patients than actual placebo
meds given out by doctors.
Golden milk works by blocking certain enzymes that allow inflammation to take place.

Now back to our list of turmeric milk health benefits.
It Improves Your Mood
Is there anything that curcumin can’t do at this point?
Feeling depressed?
Curcumin most likely can help you with that.
While the jury is still technically out, research points towards golden milk improving your
overall mood.
During a study on 60 participants with depression, the curcumin can reduce depressive symptoms
with the same effects as regular antidepressants.
Other research links depression with inflammation.
The curcumin goes to work fighting free radicals, preventing inflammation and reducing oxidative
stress.
Like we said, more research needs to be done.
But if you’re experiencing mental health issues, drinking a glass of golden milk shouldn’t
hurt.
It Improves Your Memory
Things don’t just stop at mood.
Turmeric has plenty of other helathy effects on brain function.
While research is still uncertain, there is reason to believe that the ingredients of
golden milk improve your memory and state of alertness.
Coming back to— You guessed it— curcumin, the chemical can increase your level of brain-derived
neurotrophic factor, or BDNF.
This helps your brain connect and grow new brain cells.
If you are suffering from low BDNF, you may be vulnerable to memory loss.
While curcumin is busy doing its thing, the cinnamon ingredient goes to work fighting
away the buildup of tau protein.
This protein is crucial in the development of Alzhiemers disease.
Considering that an estimated 5.8 million Americans are living with this horrible condition,
a drink that fights against it is fairly exciting news.
Golden milk’s ginger content is said to battle against loss of brain function, but
this is age related.
It Helps You Lose Weight
Turmeric milk boosts your metabolism.
Hearing about the drink’s weight loss benefits has probably kept you patiently waiting.
Not only can it work to affect your metabolism, drinking the milk allows your body to digest
fat quicker.
Studies conducted show that consuming golden milk on a daily basis reduces the amount of
fat accumulating on your body.
If you are thinking of getting in shape, or are already undergoing an intense workout
regimen, add some turmeric milk to your diet.
It Strengthens Your Bones
You can’t get in shape without strong and healthy bones.
Golden milk ensures this, preventing bone loss in your body by about 50%.
Let’s swipe away the curcumin for a minute and discuss its other nutrients for a second.
I’m talking about calcium and Vitamin D..
If your body is too low on calcium, it will start extracting it from your bones.
Over time, your bones will become weak.
Consuming the proper amount of calcium and Vitamin D will assure that they grow stronger.
Grab some golden milk.
Get those bones back to where they should be… healthy and functioning.
