Have you ever heard of Golden Milk?

Golden Milk, also known as turmeric milk, is a popular drink in India that is traditionally made by warming up milk, with turmeric and other spices such as cinnamon and ginger. You can use both dairy-based and plant-based milk for this drink. The key ingredient, turmeric, contains a special antioxidant called curcumin which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Studies show that curcumin may increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, a hormone that helps your brain form new connections and promotes brain cell growth. According to research, curcumin also acts as an antidepressant and may potentially reduce depression symptoms. The other ingredients in golden milk are ginger and cinnamon, which also have excellent anti-inflammatory properties and help lower blood sugar levels and improve digestion.

Next up, we have Mushroom Coffee.

Mushroom coffee blends ground mushrooms and coffee beans to brew a dark, smooth nutty coffee. The mushrooms used in this coffee are extracts of medicinal mushrooms like Chaga, turkey’s tail, lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps.

Medicinal mushrooms have been commonly used in Chinese medicine for centuries because they contain compounds called adaptogens, which can improve the body’s response to stress. Since the 1970s, researchers have been interested in the adaptogens from medicinal mushrooms because of their health benefits, including improving immunity, preventing cancer, and reducing the risk of heart disease. Mushroom coffee also has lower caffeine than regular coffee.

Next, we move on to Aloe Juice.

You must have heard about Aloe Vera and the wonders it does for the skin and hair. But did you know you can also drink its juice for great health benefits?

A study observed improved blood sugar and blood fatty acid levels in those with pre-diabetes who consumed aloe vera juice. Another research indicated that aloe vera gel and juice might lower fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It can also help with digestive issues such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome. But for these miracles to work, you should follow a healthy diet. Having aloe juice will instantly recharge your body, and you will be all set to start your day.

Up next, we have Pomegranate Tea.

If you don’t like the bitterness of your green tea, you can sweeten it up by making it into pomegranate tea. Make pomegranate juice in a jar, add half a cup of chilled green tea, and enjoy!

Pomegranate tea is good for the heart as it boosts cardiovascular health and lowers blood pressure levels. Its rich antioxidant also prevents aging. It also reduces the risk of various cancers and helps promote weight loss. Try this drink for a few mornings and watch as it grows over you.

Starting the day with this juice will help you hydrate and boost your fiber intake.

Research shows that consuming green leafy vegetables helps reduce the risk of heart disease and also the risk of age-related mental decline.

Brew 1 cup of black coffee and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, or you can choose ghee, a type of clarified butter with lower lactose. Mix all the ingredients in a blender for 20 to 30 seconds until it gets a foamy latte texture, and there you have it! Butter coffee.

Yerba Mate

Coconut Water

Coconut water is, hands down, the best drink to have first thing in the morning. It’s not
just tasty, but also refreshing and healthy. It energizes your body while it hydrates you.
