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.
