Get yourself in the pumpkin spirit while also obtaining key nutrients like vitamins A and C and potassium.
The Power of Turmeric in a Hot Drink
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a relative of ginger and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to health. Turmeric contains a potent antioxidant called curcumin. Not only does curcumin give turmeric (and a turmeric latte) its bright color, it’s also one of the reasons why turmeric is such a healthy spice.
By consuming a turmeric latte on a regular basis, you can reap the many health benefits of turmeric. According to scientific research, turmeric may help the following health concerns:
Bacterial infections
Cancer (including breast, colon, prostate, and skin cancer)
Eye inflammation (such as uveitis)
Heart disease
Indigestion
Neurodegenerative conditions (including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis)
Osteoarthritis
Stomach ulcers
Ulcerative colitis
Viral infections
I love this new addition to my daily drink menu.
