Benefits of Turmeric, Ginger and Lemon
Turmeric
Acts like an anti-inflammatory drug : A 2004 study published in the journal Oncogene found that curcumin (as well as resveratrol) were effective alternatives to the drugs aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and tamoxifen in exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells.
Ginger
Ginger may also help reduce chronic pain, by lowering your levels of hormones that induce inflammation. A study published in 2005, suggests that ginger could lessen pain more effectively than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, in lab tests, scientists have showed that ginger extract may slow the growth of colorectal and ovarian cancer cells, as well as protection against Alzheimer’s disease.
Lemon
Functions like a liver cleanser by stimulating the liver, removing toxins like uric acid and liquefies the bile. This is part of the reason why lemons are used as a great cleanser. Also contains Vitamin P, which is known as Flavonoids. This is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radials associated with cellular damage and aging.
The combination of ginger and turmeric help in removing toxins from the digestive system. Lemon is known as the only citrus fruit in the planet that helps for phase-2 liver detoxification. Honey boosts your immune system. Coconut water increases nutrient absorption by 40%! Cayenne pepper is added to speed-up metabolism and the thermogenic process, and Vanilla bean is for flavor.
