In this article, we will introduce you to the benefits and harms of eating turmeric at night and before going to bed. We also provide you with methods for preparing milk and latte drinks with turmeric.
Eating Turmeric Before Bed
Turmeric is a kind of fragrant and yellow spice that has many benefits for our health. But does eating turmeric at night help to improve the condition and quality of our sleep or does it cause problems in our sleep?
According to scientific research, in general, eating turmeric can have benefits such as reducing stress, regulating sleep hormones, and as a result, feeling relaxed at night.
Turmeric has a happy hormone that makes us feel satisfied and happy, and if turmeric is consumed at night, it can improve the quality of sleep.
Also, eating turmeric especially at night is very useful for people who suffer from arthritis, restless leg syndrome or other joint problems.
Considering the unique benefits of turmeric for sleep that we explained to you, we will introduce two popular and delicious drinks made with turmeric.
Benefits Of Turmeric Latte Before Bed
The first delicious drink is turmeric latte, which you can consume hot. Turmeric latte has a new and special taste and you can use it as a substitute for morning coffee. The recipe for turmeric latte is as follows:
ingredients:
- 1 glass of warm milk (cow, almond, soy or any type of plant milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon of cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon of coconut extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
- 2 shots of espresso
First, heat the milk and then add espresso, turmeric powder, grated ginger, cardamom powder and coconut extract (if desired) to the milk and stir well.
Next, boil the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes on low heat until the ingredients are completely combined. Then remove from heat, add honey and stir. The work is done and the turmeric latte is ready to drink!
Drinking Milk And Turmeric Before Bed
The second drink is a mixture of milk and turmeric, which has almost the same recipe as the turmeric latte, except that you do not use espresso.
In preparing both drinks, it is better to pay attention to the following points:
- You can use plant-based milks such as almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk instead of cow’s milk.
- To make the drink stronger, you can increase the amount of turmeric powder to 2 teaspoons.
- If you use coffee, you can add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee or 1/4 cup of brewed coffee instead of espresso.
- You can use fresh mint to make the overall taste cooler.
Does eating turmeric at night have any side effects?
The answer is clear, no! In general, there is no risk for you to eat turmeric either during the day or at night. However, it may cause mild problems for some people. These minor problems include bloating, indigestion or diarrhea. Also, be careful that pregnant and lactating women, people with liver or kidney diseases, and people who use certain medications, should consult their doctor before consuming turmeric.
Conclusion
As we have explained thoroughly and briefly, it is completely safe to consume turmeric at night or during the day. If you plan to eat turmeric at night with the aim of improving your sleep quality, two drinks of turmeric milk and turmeric latte are suitable for you.
These hot and delicious drinks can give you a deeper and more quality sleep than before. Also, apart from improving night sleep, eating turmeric also brings important benefits such as: strengthening the body’s immune system, reducing inflammation and improving brain function.
