Turmeric Shots: 3 No-Juicer, Immune-Boosting Recipes

Turmeric shot recipes are popular these days. I can see, why!

Turmeric shots are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and have extremely powerful anti-inflammatory properties. They give your body an extra energy kick and can even prevent aging. And these shots can be made at home, and preparation takes only 15 minutes of your time!

The most famous combination in these kinds of drinks is turmeric and ginger. They both have anti-inflammatory properties, are great for easing cold and flu symptoms.

The curcumin in turmeric is proven to be a very strong antioxidant [1], therefore, if you caught a cold, it helps to reduce joint pains, and boosts immunity.

Ginger contains gingerol, a component with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is proven to be helping in the treatment of chronic diseases [2].

But ginger is not the only ingredient that can complement turmeric. Check out these easy to make turmeric shot recipes.

What to expect when you are taking turmeric shots

You can notice a change in your digestion

The number of times you visit the bathroom may increase, and you may feel like you are in the middle of a detox. Turmeric helps relieve bloating, belly aches, and stomach cramps.

You feel more energetic than usual

You can suddenly discover that you are able to function faster and accomplish much more than usual. Scientists discovered that turmeric can boost serotonin and dopamine in your brain, that is where more energy comes from.

You will notice some weight loss effect

Turmeric is a well-known natural weight loss remedy. Turmeric helps weight loss by stopping fat cells growing, therefore no wonder that a “side effect” of you boosting your immune system with turmeric shots, is actually a significant weight loss.

You can feel a tummy ache sometimes

If it is the case, you probably are taking turmeric shots and leave your stomach empty for a long time. Take turmeric shots with food. If the unpleasant feeling does not stop, do not continue with turmeric shots and consult your doctor.

Proteins function as enzymes, antibodies, and they assist in maintaining fluid balance. Why protein should be included in your diet While our bodies are capable of making certain amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, there are are others, called essential amino acids, that can only be obtained through food. Because our bodies are constantly turning over tissue, new proteins are needed to replace degraded existing proteins. Cell growth, repair, and main...

20 High Protein Casserole Recipes

  I love casseroles, as I’m sure many of you do too. There’s something that is oh, so comforting about them. What’s more, they can feed a crowd. Casseroles also good for meal prepping- bake once, and you have leftovers you can pack for lunch or even dinner. Also, most casseroles use only one dish.
