Turmeric water or turmeric milk? Know what is best for morning and evening, otherwise there will be loss instead of profit!

The golden spice ‘turmeric’ kept in your kitchen is no less than magic. For centuries, it has not only been enhancing the color and taste of food, but it is also one of the most powerful medicines of Ayurveda. Its main compound ‘curcumin’ is adept in reducing inflammation, fighting infections and healing wounds.

Nowadays, seeing the benefits of turmeric, people are including it in their diet in many ways, out of which two methods are most famous – turmeric water and turmeric milk (golden milk). But most people do not know that both of them have completely different effects on the body, and the right time to drink them is also different. You do not get the full benefit by drinking at the wrong time.

So let’s end this dilemma forever today.

Turmeric water: morning ‘detox drink’

How to make: Add half a teaspoon of turmeric, if desired, a few drops of lemon and a pinch of black pepper in a glass of lukewarm water.
When to drink it: In the morning on an empty stomach.

Why is it best for the morning?

• Body Cleansing: Drinking turmeric water early in the morning is the best way to wake up the body and ‘detox’ it from within. It cleans the liver and removes dirt from the body.
• Improves digestion: It kick-starts your digestive system and prevents problems like bloating.
• Helpful in weight loss: It has negligible calories, so it is a great morning drink for those who want to lose weight.

Its drawback: Curcumin present in turmeric does not dissolve properly in water. Therefore the body is not able to absorb it completely. This is fine for minor problems, but is not very effective for deep pain or swelling.

Turmeric Milk: ‘Healing Drink’ for the night

How to make: Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric, a pinch of black pepper and a little ginger or cinnamon in a glass of hot milk and boil it.
When to drink it: Before sleeping at night.

Why is it best for night?

• Enemy of pain and swelling: Due to the fat present in milk, curcumin of turmeric is absorbed many times better in the body. Therefore, it works like a panacea for joint pain and internal swelling.
• Immunity Booster: It strengthens the body from within to fight cold, cough and seasonal infections.
• Deep Sleep Companion: Warm milk relaxes the body, while turmeric calms the mind, giving you deep and restful sleep.

Disadvantages: Turmeric milk is high in calories, and people who are allergic to milk (lactose intolerance) cannot drink it.

So what is better for me?

conclusion:
This is not a fight about who is better. Turmeric water wakes up and cleanses your body in the morning, while turmeric milk heals and repairs your body at night. Both complement each other. If you want, you can make turmeric water in the morning and turmeric milk at night a part of your daily routine and take full advantage of this golden spice.
