A Healthy and Popular Option
The combination of turmeric and lemon in the morning is gaining popularity as a home remedy, not only to vary the breakfast but also for its multiple health benefits. The UNAM highlights the effectiveness of this mixture in improving digestive well-being and preventing respiratory ailments, thus strengthening the immune system.
Origins and Properties of Turmeric
Native to India and part of the ginger family, turmeric is known for its use in curry and has gained popularity for its properties, including anti-cancer, antibacterial and healing properties. Its powder, extracted from the underground stem of the plant, is rich in curcumin, which gives it its characteristic yellow color, and is known in some regions as Asian saffron.
Optimum Consumption of Turmeric
Although it can be consumed in various ways, such as capsules, tablets, extracts or supplements, experts suggest that the most effective way to take advantage of the benefits of turmeric is through a tea or juice. The combination with lemon is particularly beneficial, as both provide essential nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K, as well as minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc.
Health benefits
This combination not only contributes to a feeling of lightness and can help reduce stomach inflammation upon waking, but is also helpful in reducing gas and symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome. Although there are those who argue that it can promote weight loss, there is still not enough scientific evidence to support this. Turmeric also acts as a natural pain reliever, especially beneficial for people with arthritis, relieving pain in muscles and bones.
Healthy and Organic option
This natural remedy, low in calories and fat, but high in carbohydrates, is an excellent choice for those looking for organic alternatives to improve their daily health and well-being.
