Maintaining good blood circulation is crucial for overall health, especially as we get older. One natural and effective way to support your circulatory system is by incorporating a turmeric and ginger drink into your daily routine. This powerful combination of ingredients offers numerous health benefits, particularly in preventing blood clots. Let’s dive into how you can make this beneficial drink and why it works so well.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (or 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric, grated)
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups of water
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
Instructions
1. Boil the Water
Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.
2. Add Turmeric and Ginger
Once the water is boiling, add the grated ginger and turmeric (or turmeric powder). Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds to infuse into the water.
3. Strain the Drink
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the drink into a cup to remove the ginger and turmeric solids.
4. Add Lemon and Honey
Add the juice of half a lemon and stir in honey if desired for sweetness. Lemon juice adds a refreshing flavor and boosts the drink’s health benefits.
