Golden Milk

Reduce inflamation and promote healing with this golden milk recipe

Inflammation from injuries and things like tendonitis is widespread in jiu-jitsu. Today I want to share with you a powerful way you can combat this kind of inflammation and keep yourself feeling healthier and happier on the mats.

Turmeric is one of the strongest anti-inflammatory substances found in nature. The only problem is it’s not very bioavailable, meaning your body doesn’t absorb it well. But there’s an easy solution. When combined with pepperin (pepper), and properly encased in lipids (fats), turmeric becomes a highly absorbable anti-inflammatory powerhouse.  So if you’re dealing with chronic inflammation, strains, or any sort of pain on the mats, follow the recipe below and take it twice a day. You’ll be amazed how much it helps!

GOLDEN MILK

INGREDIENTS: 

2 teaspoons turmeric powder (get from bulk supplements HERE)

1/2-1 tablespoon grassfed butter (substitute coconut oil for non-dairy option)

1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or several cracks from a grinder)

3-4 oz milk (substitute oat, almond, or other non-dairy option)

A squeeze of honey (for taste)

Combine all ingredients except the turmeric in a small pot and heat until the butter (or coconut oil) is melted. Pour combined ingredients into a small cup blender or other blending device and add in 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder. Blend thoroughly. Take like a shot. I recommend taking twice a day for any chronic inflammation. You’ll be shocked how well it works!
