Turmeric + Black Pepper Miracle Drink

This Happened When I started Drinking Turmeric Golden Milk Before Bed By Gillian B. - The Golden paste is a turmeric-based paste that taken orally provides health benefits to humans as well as animals (dogs and horses). Turmeric, known for is anti-inflammatory properties and used medicinally for over 4,000 years, is excellent for arthritis, skin health, digestion, immune system, and even cancer. Recent studies have confirmed that it may be as effective as 14 different prescription drugs – without the adverse side effects. Taking it daily in this paste is designed to improve absorption, an easy way to tap into its incredible healing benefits. How to make Golden Paste: ½ cup turmeric powder 1 cup spring water (+ ½ extra if necessary) 1.5 tsp ground black pepper 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil Directions: 1. Mix water (1 cup) with turmeric powder in a pan and slowly heat it up and stir for 6-10 minutes until you get a thick paste (add the additional ½ cup water if it is too thick). 2. Add black pepper and oil and continue stirring until all the ingredients are fully mixed in together. 3. Allow the paste to cool. Store in the refrigerator in a jar for up to 1-2 weeks. This recipe was developed by Doug English, a veterinarian who has utilized the ancient healing spice in all manner of animals ranging from dogs to cats to the most exotic types like alpacas and even crocodiles. Why add Black Pepper? It is beneficial to take black pepper with turmeric because it helps the body absorb turmeric. A 1992 report in Clinical Pharmacokinetics on black pepper explained why some studies did not show the same benefits of turmeric as the others did. The human body has a tough time utilizing curcumin effectively. However just a small amount of black pepper boosted bioavailability of curcumin by up to 2000%, the study shows. How to Use Golden Paste: A lot of people incorporate the golden paste into their diet or daily routine, instead of taking it once in a while like a “medication.” The paste can be taken as is in small amount (1/4 tsp) 2 to 3 times a day, or mixed with honey for a better taste. It also can be added to different dishes: salads, smoothies, curries, rice or soup. Experiment with what tastes better for you. adapted from www.davidwolfe.com
