Yoga doesn’t always have to be time consuming or expensive!

Contrary to popular belief, that is.

Many associate yoga with spiritual discoveries, sun-kissed beaches, relaxing lagoons, and most importantly, abundant leisure time but the truth is, yoga doesn’t just have to be β€œa nice routine to have as part of my daily regime when I retire” sort of thing.

You can reap the amazing healthy benefits of yoga backed by scienceΒ in about two minutes flat if you’re strapped for time. Ponder on that, taking care of yourself for life in two minutes, twice a day? Imagine the possibilities.

Mind officially blown.

This is a good segway into the wondrous world of Turmeric.

The magic of turmeric

The benefits of this spice is so amazing, it’s no wonder it’s being heralded as one of the biggest things to have hit the natural craze this decade.

Turmeric has been used for centuries in the Indian subcontinent, particularly by Ayurvedic and Yoga practitioners for thousands of years.

Turmeric is widely known to be one of Mother Nature’s miraculous healing cures. Ongoing studies speculate that it may be extremely beneficial in debilitating ailments. These include, but not limited to, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, diabetes, allergies and more.

Adding turmeric to your everyday diet

Used throughout the ages as a potent anti-inflammatory resource by the ancient Indian & Chinese civilisations, turmeric is also known as an effective treatment measure for inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, and as a potential preventative resource for childhood inflicted leukaemia.

It is also known to improve liver and cardiovascular functions alongside lowering cholesterol.

So, here are some easy ways to make turmeric part of your day every day.

Turmeric is a fine addition to curries, egg, and vegetable rice due to its warm, slightly bitter, and peppery flavored taste, and recently science has confirmed that cooking with the spice is when it is at its most beneficialΒ so cook, boil and steam away.

But if you’re not a curry person, don’t fret.

A warm cup of turmeric

Apart from the many Turmeric Chai Lattes you can purchase in most cafΓ©s nowadays, Yogi’s will often mix a teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of milk until it boils. Drink this concoction twice a day and keep arthritis and inflammation at bay forever. You can add some honey if you can’t get used to the flavor. It’s as simple and quick as that! As a bonus tip, make sure to add some freshly ground black pepper. This will help boost absorption capabilities.

Because you’re obviously a Turmeric fan now, here’s an added extraΒ Bonus Tip just for you.
