Turmeric ginger pepper drink - for sickness and health

If you're feeling sick or just want a boost to your health try out this drink. Anytime I feel a cold, sore throat or flu coming on I make this drink.

The turmeric has curcumin an antioxidant that has a list of health benefits including being anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal. Along with helping liver function, brain function and reducing blood pressure. Turmeric has also shown to have anti-cancer properties.

The ginger has gingerol which is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Ginger can help lower cholesterol and prevent cancer among other health benefits.

Be sure to include black pepper in your drink as it makes the curcumin from the turmeric up to 20 times more absorbable in the body when combined with piperine from the black pepper.

1/2 tsp to 1 tsp Turmeric powder or raw Turmeric
1 tsp diced ginger
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 liter water or milk
1 tsp honey (optional)
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)

The drink can be a bit bitter and strong in flavor but it can also make you feel noticeably better after drinking it.
