You may know that turmeric is a powerful spice to get into your daily diet to reduce inflammation, decrease oxidative stress and so much more but ARE YOU GETTING IT IN?

In episode 38 of In My Plant-Based Kitchen I share one of my daily health hacks - a trick to help you get turmeric (and powdered ginger) into your day!

We discuss:

• why turmeric is so helpful for health (hint - it's a powerful anti-inflammatory AND it decreases oxidative stress/DNA damage)
• things you can add to it to boost absorption of curcumin (the active ingredient)
• why powdered ginger is so helpful (it goes beyond dampening nausea)
• a few cautions for people who should double check their use of these powerful spices (e.g. contraindicated medications)
• and we make a "turmeric shot" that can help you get it all in in seconds (and for pennies) a day

Want to know how to make this magic shot? (Oh, I like that name even better!)

In a short glass combine:

• 1/4 cup (approximately) plant-based milk (I love using soy)
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp ginger powder
• pinch black pepper

Whisk it all together until completely combined, and bottoms up!
