Turmeric
Turmeric is one of nature’s most powerful anti-inflammatories. Curcumin, the potent substance that is in turmeric, helps stimulate the gallbladder to produce bile. Turmeric is known to combat indigestion, bloating and gas.
Ginger
Ginger naturally stimulates the body’s digestive enzymes. Which makes it a powerful digestive aid which has been used to alleviate bloating, stomach pains and gas for centuries. Ginger is anti-inflammatory which helps to relieve inflammation.
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne Pepper contains a compound called capsaicin that helps to increase the amount of digestive juices in your stomach. It stimulates digestion, eases gas, and can relieve pressure and cramping and works very quickly!
Let’s do this…
Beat The Bloat Turmeric Shot Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Orange
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 inch of peeled ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayeenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- Handful of Ice
Directions
- Peel your orange and ginger and place into a high speed blender and blend until mixture is nice and smooth.
- Pour into a shot glass and enjoy. You don’t need to neck this as it is strong so it’s ok to sip away at it. Either way is fine.
Remember you don’t need to knock it back like a shot, sipping at it slowly is perfect. We say shot as only a small amount is required as it is so strong. Let me know what you think of the recipe by commenting below and let me know what you’d like from me for the next blog post.
Until then….
