I give you; golden magic! This may just be one of my favourite, most medicinal, functional recipes yet! It’s not only absolutely delicious, but it doubles up as an impressive anti-inflammatory too!
Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. It contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
During endurance training it’s really important to take precautionary measures against joint inflammation. Curcumin can inhibit many molecules known to play major roles in inflammation and even boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain, keeping you sharp on race day.
Curcumin is also fat soluble, so we’ve paired this tasty dish with coconut milk and black pepper for increased absorption. Winning!
Turemeric, is my answer to many things! So, I’m so very thrilled to be sharing this recipe with you.
Enjoy! It’s fantastic!
