Golden milk, which is also called turmeric milk, is made by heating milk from cows or plants with turmeric and spices like cinnamon and ginger. It is known for having many health benefits and is often used as an alternative medicine to boost the immune system and keep people from getting sick. Healthline says that people in their 50s should always drink turmeric milk for the following health reasons.
1. The curcumin in turmeric may make you feel better.
It suggests that curcumin, which is a chemical found in turmeric, can improve mood and ease the symptoms of depression.
2. It helps to reduce swelling and pain in the joints.
The parts of golden milk have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic diseases like cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and heart disease are thought to have a lot to do with inflammation that lasts for a long time. So, eating foods that are high in anti-inflammatory compounds may make you less likely to get these diseases. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory effects are the same as those of a number of prescription drugs, but it doesn't have any of the bad side effects. Joint pain from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may be eased by these anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Keep your heart healthy.
Heart disease is one of the main reasons people die all over the world. Cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, which make up most of golden milk, have all been linked to a lower risk of heart disease. Curcumin improves the function of your blood vessel linings, which is called endothelial function. Endothelial function is important for a healthy heart.
4. Enhance your digestion.
Chronic indigestion, or dyspepsia, causes pain and discomfort in the upper part of the stomach. Indigestion can happen when the stomach takes too long to empty. Golden milk may help people with dyspepsia feel better by helping their stomachs empty faster.
5. Strengthen your bones
Golden milk might help a person build a strong skeleton. Calcium and vitamin D, two minerals that are important for strong bones, are found in high amounts in both cow's milk and plant milks that have been fortified. If you don't get enough calcium, your body will start to take calcium from your bones to keep the calcium level in your blood at a healthy level. Over time, this makes your bones weak and brittle. This makes you more likely to get bone diseases like osteopenia and osteoporosis.
