Boost your immune system by sipping on nutritious ‘golden milk’

Most are well aware of the many benefits of incorporating turmeric into your diet.

If you’re not as aware: Improve your health with turmeric

Diabetes control, cancer prevention, arthritis remedy, immunity boosting and digestive aiding are some of the many (and I mean many) health benefits of this orange-yellow root.

In saying all this, Wellness Mama has provided the most heart-warming, nutritious, creamy, magical ‘golden milk’ recipe. This turmeric tea is said to maximise the natural antioxidant power of turmeric because its ingested when hot, as well as combined with other beneficial spices and a little bit of fat – which increases and improves absorption.
