Although it has existed in India for quite some time, Golden milk has become a very popular drink within recent years in Western cultures. Traditionally, you make it by warming cow’s milk or plant-based milk with turmeric and other spices like cinnamon and ginger. It is a caffeine-free beverage that may help improve immune function and reduce inflammation. This is because the primary ingredients exhibit impressive antioxidant properties, which help to nourish your cells and fight oxidative stress. The curcumin in turmeric may also increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This is a compound that helps your brain form new connections and encourage the growth of new, healthy brain cells.
