anti-inflammatory golden mylk {v, df}

Whenever I’m feeling an immune response coming on, I like to whip up this potent anti- inflammatory latté. Did you know curcumin {antioxidant powerhouse found in turmeric} is one of the only antioxidants that passes the blood-brain barrier? Meaning it reduces inflammation and promotes healing all over the body, including the brain. Turmeric is nature’s most powerful anti- inflammatory and has been shown in numerous studies to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other diseases.
The black pepper in this recipe also increases the bioavailability of turmeric and the other spices, as well as increasing digestive enzymes. While the healthy fat helps to absorb and transport nutrients into the body. You can use any nut milk you like - check out my easy nut milk recipe for more info on how to make your own.
