#Lettucebowandsay “Make Ginger Turmeric Lemonade”
Over the past couple of months I’ve been dealing with a mysterious yet serious case of hives. No idea the cause but thankfully my new antihistamine regime is keeping them at bay. In the peak of my battle, I kept asking myself what foods can I eat to help with the inflammation?? Ginger and Turmeric of course!!
Ginger is high in gingerol, a power anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. If consumed with black pepper, the piperine in black pepper enhances curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%.
By no means is this a remedy or quick fix. Rather, I turned to making this lemonade as an aid to the battle my body was fighting against itself. It wasn’t going to hurt and the easiest way to consume both of these POTENT superfoods.
I’ll enjoy it straight up or mixed with kombucha to meet all of my daily needs!
