So my aim here is to give you small daily habits to find your ease ~ with the added benefit of also supporting your hormonal balance too.
Today I have an easy recipe for you!
How can a turmeric latte help hormones??
The unspoken suffering we experience through the 10 Years (or more) on the lead up to Menopause can vary & be so daunting.
We need to look from the inside out at the body systems >> since the liver has an important role to play in metabolising oestrogen, the anti-inflammatory curcumin inside turmeric can help manage symptoms such as hot flushes & joint pain.
How can this recipe help my achey muscles??
Although turmeric has been around for thousands of years, it’s only recently been making mainstream news, with numerous studies supporting evidence for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Inflammation is our bodies response to stressors, including overworked muscles & emotional overload.
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, can reduce inflammation & the pain it causes. This means faster recovery (see study here)
Taking 1 gram daily for 8 – 12 weeks has shown to reduce arthritis (study here) This may mean a supplement is the easiest way to get it in, but the gorgeous golden turmeric latte recipe below is also a huge benefit to your daily diet
