SPARKLING GINGER & TURMERIC LEMONADE
Get your glow back with this fresh and nutritious drink that can be easily made at home with a few simple ingredients!
I’m a huge fan of turmeric because of its long list of health giving properties, and there is now evidence that it is as effective as more than 14 prescription and over the counter medications for example, ibuprofen. Good news for people like myself who prefer to steer clear of pharmaceuticals as much as possible. The only side effect that I am aware of with turmeric is yellow stained fingers!
