Turmeric Elixir - Golden Milk - Health Boosting

So does anyone take daily anything they consider health boosting?

I often will have what I’ve seen referred to as Turmeric Elixir
Turmeric root, Ginger root, Lemon juice, Black Pepper, honey and water. Full of antioxidants a pick me up and boost to your immunity.

Another is golden milk which is basically the same but made with milk.

I can’t remember when but it was a pharmacist friend who first suggested I take golden milk when I had a cold. You can also make it with a dairy free milk of your choice.

These days I have a variation a pint of water with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, pepper and ginger as a morning drink as soon as I get up.

That sounds good. I haven’t for a while, but used to do this. I’m more of a fan of this naturopathy than synthetic meds; typically not being bioavailable.

Yes I’m keen to live a lifestyle which promotes my health and wellness. I’m planning to start getting back to producing my own fruit and veg again now our daughter is older I’m hoping to include her and the other half in it. The straw which broke the camels back last time with my ex was it was just me who ended up all weekend looking after and maintaining the everything. However I did have 3 poultry houses and groups including a duck pond as well as the fruit and veg.

Hi Kevin, do you have a measured recipe for that morning drink?

these days I play it by eye.

I would say
1/2 lemon squeezed
1/4 -1/2 tsp of turmeric and ginger if using powder or I would say I grate about a heaped tbsp of each as I use the root normally not powder.
Pepper I just grind some in again probably about 1/2 tsp
The apple cider vinegar 1-2 tbsp

Yeah Kimchi and Sauerkraut. I’ve tried fermenting quite a lot, but it is a long process, and my most success has been with Kimchi, Sauerkraut, and Kombucha.

Here are a couple of resources I used when starting out: Kimchi: A Beginner's Guide | Feasting At Home

Facebook has some great groups for fermenting too.
