Healthy August ... Drink Tea With A Difference !

Happy Sunday !

Still enjoying the summer holidays and long may it continue and continue , I'm sure you all bear my sentiments . Enjoying watching the Celebrity Big Brother show on telly and can't wait for the civilian version in 5 weeks yesssss three months of reality tv I like nothing better ! Well unless it's OUTLANDER . I have nothing in all my life seen anything like it . The storyline is amazing and it comes together with the chosen actors wonderfully . I could not have done a better script and tv show  myself .I love Outlander and am a massive fan . I recommend every single person on this earth see it .  I sometimes yell at the telly when Doctor Who is on, the last couple of seasons have been so disappointing . The scripts and storylines are rubbish I could do so much better myself . Now with a female Doctor Who they have truly messed with the whole heart and inspiration of the original show . It's never going to recover . Like James Bond nobody wants a female Bond . Create a whole new spy if a female tickles your fancy , leave Bond alone !

Okay lets get healthy this month and work towards the goal of living longer .. to help keep the younger people out of work as the old are forced to continue working and have less time to enjoy their twilight years lol ...
Turmeric , is an Indian spice which is long associated with beneficial health properties . Very few people actually use this spice and if you don't do Indian cooking you would not know in what to use it !!

Turmeric is known for it's bright yellow colour and is often used to colour an Indian Palou ( a delicious rice dish ) Well aside from colouring the rice , it is also used in most other Indian dishes , so Indian people get all the health benefits of turmeric , from their food .

The Benefits of turmeric are plentiful . It detoxes the body . Protects the liver tissue . Boosts immunity .  Cleanses and purify 's the blood . Eases symptoms of coughs and colds . Improves circulation . Improves overall appearance of the skin . Prevents internal blood clotting . Reduces bad cholesterol . Reduces inflammation , and last stimulates secretion of bile .

So if you have never cooked Indian food and you still want to be able to use turmeric for all it's health benefits and don't know how , it's simple . You could always add half a teaspoon to a warm glass of milk , like I sometimes do or you could make a delicious tea every day and enjoy your added goodness of turmeric in it !

I shall give you a delicious way to combine it in the tea and feel all the wonderful effects from it when you get healthier and as a result add extra years to your life which everyone so wants ;)
