Turmeric has been recognized as a spice and a vital ingredient in Chinese and Indian traditional medicine for centuries. The world only started to recognize turmeric about a decade ago, and modern science is just beginning to uncover its positive effects.

However, turmeric has a problem that many people are unaware of. The nutrients in turmeric are fat-soluble, meaning you should always consume turmeric with healthy fats.

In India, they dissolve a tablespoon of turmeric powder and a tablespoon of coconut oil in 3 tablespoons of milk. This mixture is consumed on an empty stomach and also in the evening before bed because it has numerous healing benefits.

It is very useful in preventing internal inflammation, has antibacterial and antifungal properties, regulates digestion, and burns fat. Even if you just want to improve your digestion, take this mixture on an empty stomach.

And finally, a tip: golden milk, as the mixture of milk, turmeric, and coconut oil is called, can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Eat it by the spoonful.
