Goldene Milch

Protecting the immune system, losing weight, and maintaining youthfulness with a delicious morning drink – it sounds too good to be true. However, golden milk from Ayurveda, known as turmeric latte, has long been a trend in cafés from Berlin to New York, and it offers just that! Curcumin, a compound from the healing root turmeric, also fascinates medical research: it shows positive effects on inflammation, infections, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol levels, and cancer. Karin Opitz-Kreher explains what this wonder root can do for our health and inspires us with creative recipes to incorporate the small but valuable ritual of this daily magic potion into our lives. Featuring contributions from Dr. Olivier Wenker, Sabine Hauswald, Harald Schmitz, and Armin Herold.
