We always say that water is the first thing you should introduce to your body in the morning. We now have a new beverage that you should add to your morning routine. Not only does this kick your immune system into gear, but it also helps to stimulate healthy digestion. Oh, and we forgot to mention that it also works to naturally balance your pH levels.
When your immune system isn’t functioning the way it should, your body can take a turn for the worse. You can become more prone to viruses, experience skin problems or stomach pain, and even start getting frequent heartburn.
To understand what makes this drink so powerful, let’s examine the key players.
Turmeric
Loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric helps to boost immunity and fight off infections with its antiseptic properties.
Organic Raw Honey
It’s important that you purchase organic raw honey to reap the benefits that regular, sugar-laden honey doesn’t have. Raw honey is full of enzymes that help to calm the digestive system.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
Helping to alkalize the body, raw apple cider vinegar helps to rid the body of parasites and prevent digestive problems. It also contains probiotic properties!
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is loaded with vitamin C, which is an immune-boosting antioxidant that also helps out the digestive system and fights free radicals in the body.
Drink Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ cup raw apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup organic raw honey
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cups filtered water
Instructions:
- Put the filtered water in a saucepan over medium heat and warm until it is steaming. Remove from the heat and stir in the honey until dissolved.
- Add the turmeric, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper and mix well. Let this cool before pouring into a large glass jar. Cover it and leave it in the fridge to cool overnight.
- Drink one cup of this after your morning glass of water.
