Turmeric shot recipe

Powerhouse of health

This healthy turmeric shot will from now on kick-start your mornings. It’s a perfect immune-system booster, cancer-fighter as it’s packed with antioxidants our bodies’ cells need to stay healthy.  Our turmeric shot recipe is a powerhouse of health as it:

  • Protects your body from free radicals
  • Helps prevent the growth of cancerous cells
  • help fight colds and flu

Curcumin in turmeric which is the natural powerful anti-inflammatory compound is as effective as many anti-inflammatory drugs. Our body’s immune system has to cause natural inflammation so it can repair damaged cells and fight off pathogens, this is essential. Inflammation, on the other hand, can become chronic when at a low-level it constantly attacks our own bodies and it is this inflammation that scientists believe is present in the majority of chronic diseases such as cancer. Curcumin is present in turmeric but even at only 3% by weight it is important to include it in our daily diet. Adding black pepper in this turmeric shot will help the body absorb this amazing substance by up to 2000%.

Research has shown some very promising results in regards to turmeric being cancer-fighting. A phase one clinical trial looked at giving turmeric to 25 patients with precancerous changes in different organs. This study seemed to show that turmeric/curcumin could stop the precancerous changes becoming cancer. Studies have also shown that people that were eating about 100mg to 200mg a day over long periods of time could minimise the risk of developing cancer.

Ginger belongs to the zingiberaceae group, and is actually closely related to turmeric and galangal which is a version of a Thai ginger which is used in Thai cooking, see our Thai green curry paste recipe.  Ginger has for some time been used in various forms of alternative medicine. It has been used to help digestion, reduce nausea, and help fight cold and flu. One of the remedies you can do to fight cold and sniffles is to make our amazing turmeric tea recipe.

Moreover, ginger a natural cancer fighter as it’s packed with antioxidants. Research has shown that the active compounds 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol exhibit anti-cancer properties against the gastrointestinal tract and helps in cancer cell death.

Juicing apples, ginger and turmeric

Apples and polyphenols

When they say that ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, it is definitely some truth in that old saying. Apples are loaded with important nutrients, including crucial vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are good for:

Boosting our brain health
Apples accelerate the acetylcholine production, which helps build a stronger communication between nerve cells and brain that further improve our memory and minimising our chances of developing illnesses such as Alzheimer’s.

Lowering bad cholesterol levels
Polyphenols in apples, which are micronutrients that are packed with antioxidants, have been linked to reducing the levels of bad cholesterol and slow down its oxidation. This, in turn, helps reduce the risk of hardening of arteries, damaging heart muscles and blood vessels.

Fighting cancer
Additionally, these polyphenols that have promising anti-cancer properties as they protect our body from free radicals and produce a defence mechanism against stress factors. Polyphenols can inhibit the tumour growth, induce apoptosis in cancer cells and interfere in progression of tumours.
