Incorporating an anti-inflammatory tea into your nighttime routine can be a great way to combat inflammation, boost your metabolism, and start sleeping better.
Likewise, by incorporating certain ingredients into your diet, you can help yourself to see weight loss results more quickly. Specifically, ginger and turmeric are two ingredients everyone should be adding to their diet for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
And one of the easiest ways to start reaping these benefits is by brewing a cup of turmeric ginger tea!
Turmeric Ginger Tea
Turmeric ginger tea incorporates two inflammation-fighting ingredients and no caffeine, which makes it a perfect bedtime drink. Turmeric is a great spice to start adding to your diet for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
According to Healthline, "Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant."
That's not all; the article continues, "Curcumin is strongly anti-inflammatory. In fact, it’s so powerful that it matches the effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs, without the side effects."
Ginger is another ingredient you should start using more regularly.
Gingerols, a compound found in ginger, can be beneficial to those who want to lose weight.
Healthline explains, "Gingerols encourage certain biological activities in your body. They have an anti-obesity effect, helping food to digest faster and stimulate the body to speed digested food through the colon. Research suggests that gingerols may stabilize your blood sugar levels. Keeping blood sugar stable can be key to losing weight."
One simple turmeric ginger tea recipe combines ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, honey, and lemon for an effective anti-inflammatory hot drink, which can be the perfect way to end and relaxing your night.
With that in mind, if you are struggling with inflammation and weight loss, consider adding a hot drink to your bedtime routine.
