Golden milk, a warm beverage made with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper, is recommended by a dietitian as a soothing, anti-inflammatory drink to support gut health, improve digestion, and promote better sleep as part of a nightly routine.
Turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, offers numerous health benefits such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. To maximize its benefits, incorporate turmeric with black pepper to enhance absorption, prepare golden milk elixir for a soothing bedtime ritual, infuse it into cooking for flavorful and nutrient-rich meals, consume it with fatty foods for better absorption, and enjoy turmeric tea for a refreshing antioxidant boost.
Late-night eating has been linked to higher rates of obesity, affecting hunger levels, calorie burning, and fat storage. Naturopathic doctor Janine Bowring recommends three foods for late-night snacking: a small handful of nuts (such as almonds, macadamia nuts, or hazelnuts) for protein and satiating fat, seeds (like tahini or sunflower seeds) for minerals and sleep support, and "golden milk" (a blend of plant-based milk, turmeric, and spices) for a good night's sleep and anti-inflammatory benefits.
