    Turmeric is an eminent spice in the South Asian region, more specifically in the subcontinental region of the Asia. Its massive availability and easy access has led locals to undermine the enumerable positive properties it possesses.

    Benefits of Golden Milk Before Bed

    Aids in Deep Sleep

    Golden milk helps in relaxing and reducing anxiety. Special compounds in milk; melatonin and tryptophan induce sleep. These are also responsible for a deep and sound sleep.

    Initial experiments on mice reveal that turmeric reduces sleep deprivation. The fusion of milk and turmeric with all their sleep aiding properties, make golden milk a perfect sleep inducer.

    Fights Inflammation

    Turmeric with all its anti oxidant and anti inflammatory properties have been used as an ayurvedic medicine for ages. With “curcumin” as its active ingredient, turmeric with milk can help you fight inflammation.

    If inflammation in the body is not treated it can lead to permanent cell and organ damage. With its regular use its almost impossible for you to get any kind of severe inflammation.

    Besides turmeric other common ingredients of golden milk such as cinnamon and ginger also possess undeniably great anti oxidant properties, not only fighting inflammation but also lowering the risk of other diseases.

    Golden milk and fat loss

    Milk is often related to excessive weight gain, but if paired right, the same milk can help you lose weight. The curcumin in turmeric prevents the accumulation of fat in the adipose tissues, hence preventing obesity.

    Turmeric along with its cousin ginger, contains gingerols and shogaols, both of which possess thermogenic properties. These thermogenic characteristics help increase the metabolic activity, hence aiding in weight loss.

    All ingredients of golden milk fight constipation. fighting and preventing constipation keeps the bowel system regulated which compliments healthy weight loss.

    Improves cognitive function

    Golden milk before bed not only improves general cognitive function, it is also responsible for the prevention of certain brain diseases like dementia.

    It prevents the accumulation of beta-amyloid and tau protein, the accumulation of both is implicated in the development of dementia.

    Studies show that a dose of 90mg of curcumin (the active ingredient of turmeric) produces significant attention and memory benefits.

    Eases Menstrual Cramps and Labor Pains

    Haldi Doodh has always been the go to recipe of all grandmothers to ease menstrual cramps. This now, has been proven by science also. Turmeric is a natural antispasmodic, which is always to the rescue in times of extreme menstrual cramps.

    A cup of warm golden milk is all you need to have an easy period and peaceful sleep. As claimed by a number of pregnant women, turmeric milk also aids in easy delivery.

    Improves Mood

    Benefits of golden milk at night include the improvement of mood and less mood swings. Curcumin in turmeric is thought to have positive effects on mood.

    Experiments show that people consuming turmeric show similar improvements in mood, to people taking regular anti-depressants. This makes golden milk a natural anti depressant with same benefits but absolutely no side effects.

    Increases Bone Health

    Milk is the famous friend of healthy bones, due to abundant amount of calcium. But in golden milk, milk is not the only ingredient benefiting the bones.

    As, inflammation is the root cause of bone diseases like arthritis, the anti inflammatory properties of turmeric help in the prevention of rheumatoid arthritis.

    Turmeric is also responsible for decreasing the severity of pain in already diseased patients of arthritis. Studies even show the pain reducing properties of curcumin to be comparable to prescribed pain-killer medicines.

    Lowers the Risk of Cancer

    In addition to the conventional treatment of cancer, alternate preventive measures are being sought after by many. Golden milk not only lowers the risk of cancer but may help teat it as well.

    The active ingredient of turmeric; curcumin regulates the process of mitosis (cell division) and inhibits cell proliferation. These properties can be enhanced further by using a more bioavailable form of curcumin or simply a concentrated form of turmeric. Certain ingredients in ginger also are hypothesized to be anti-cancerous.

    These properties might be preventive or may aid in the treatment but can not be used in substitution to the proper medical treatment.

    The benefits of golden milk at night stretch far and beyond any other conventional nigh time recipe. Turmeric, being a superfood gives it all of its signature health benefits. But other ingredients like ginger, milk and cinnamon do not stay far behind, they also provide health benefits beyond our assumptions.
