👨⚕️ Dr. Youssef El Aziz's Recommended Recipe: Golden Milk for Optimal Health & Inflammation Control
As a Professional Medical Herbalist and Scientist Chemist, I constantly emphasise the power of food as medicine. Today, I'm excited to share a delicious and powerful recipe for Golden Milk.
This isn't just a tasty treat—it's a potent anti-inflammatory drink that supports your entire body, from your gut to your brain.
Dr. Youssef's Comments on Why This Works:
Golden Milk is a classic Indian drink that is full of healthy fats and anti-inflammatory polyphenol compounds that work to improve the brain and the body.
Blood Sugar & Inflammation: If you are seeking to keep inflammation down in your body, improving your blood sugar stability by cutting sugar and starch and replacing them with healthy fats (like coconut milk) is essential. This recipe is naturally ketogenic and autoimmune friendly and has 0 grams of sugar.
Turmeric Power: The polyphenols in turmeric (like curcumin) are absorbed into our system best or become bioavailable in our intestinal to be absorbed when combined with natural fat or black pepper (active molecule piperine), which this Golden Milk recipe does perfectly. We recommend this as a staple drink for anyone dealing with chronic inflammation and autoimmunity, as it helps to heal leaky gut syndrome.
🥣 Golden Milk Recipe:
Yield: 2 - 3/4 Cup Servings | Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 7 mins
Ingredients:
1/2 or 1/4 cup of coconut milk
1/2 cup of filtered water
1 tsp organic turmeric powder
1/2 tsp organic cinnamon powder

Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes and add the honey. Stir one more time and remove from heat.
