This potent drink boosts immunity, lowers inflammation, and supports cardiovascular health — all critical for healthy aging.
🔬 Recipe:
- 1 clove raw garlic (crushed)
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (with the “mother”)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- Pinch of black pepper (for turmeric absorption)
- Optional: 1 tsp raw honey
- 100 ml warm water
Mix and drink on an empty stomach.
Why it works:
Garlic contains allicin, which supports blood pressure and immune function [6]. Ginger and turmeric are powerful anti-inflammatories [7], and apple cider vinegar may improve blood sugar control and digestion [8].
