Curious about what Golden Milk can do for you and your body? Here are just a few of the many ways Golden Milk can help you feel great from the inside out:
Boost Your Brain Power
Brain functioning depends greatly on how well the neurons in your brain form new connections, driven by a hormone referred to as the Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor. In short, the levels of this particular hormone in your brain can make or break your brain development and protect against degenerative brain disorders.
Intimidating stuff right? Not for the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin! Without getting too deep into the science of it, the properties of curcumin can have a major impact on your brain functioning. It can prevent the build up of the receptor blockers that cause memory loss, enhance the brain’s ability to learn, and reduce stress hormones related to toxicity – therefore, demonstrating the ability to reduce depression and anxiety.
Stimulate Digestion
When paired with ginger, indigestion’s arch nemesis, turmeric can provide digestive relief for anything from an everyday stomach ache to aiding Chron’s disease or IBS symptoms. In general, the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric can help relieve stomach pain and stimulate the digestive tract.
Curcumin is also connected to the proper development of bile through the gallbladder. The better your gallbladder functions, the better your body is able to digest foods. This, in turn, can help with weight management and control of blood sugar and cholesterol levels, resulting in lower risk of heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
