Turmeric Capsules

April 26, 2020 · In: DIY, wellness

I ran out of Turmeric capsules so I decided to make my own! It is so much more cost effective this way too. All you need is veggie capsules and bulk Turmeric. Fill each half of the veggie capsule with Turmeric then put them together! So easy and not even as messy as you’d think, maybe just wear some gloves if you don’t want your fingers to turn yellow. One day I’ll treat myself to a capsule filling machine but for now this works just fine. 

And if you don’t know much about Turmeric then let me fill you in. Turmeric is an Adaptogen which means it works to counteract the effects of stress in the body. It has an active ingredient in it called Curcumin which is a powerful ant-inflammatory. Studies show it to be as effective as over the counter pain medication and a much safer alternative. Curcumin also boosts serotonin and dopamine to help with memory and mood. Turmeric is also an amazing antioxidant that fights free radical damage. Those are just a couple reasons why I take Turmeric daily but it’s benefits go way beyond that!

You can give your Turmeric a boost by adding a little Black Pepper to the capsules. Research shows that adding Black Pepper to Turmeric can help the Curcumin in Turmeric to be better absorbed. It’s not necessary but a very good idea! I incorporate Black Pepper into most of my meals getting it’s benefits that way.

I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Match I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Matcha latte…just kidding I make one everyday! But it did feel a little bit more festive today. ☘️ Matcha is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and an amino acid called L-theanine that helps to reduce anxiety. It also gives me an energy boost without the jitters! 

Iced Matcha Latte 
• 1 tsp Matcha green tea
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 cup ice
• 1-2 tsp honey
• sprinkle of cinnamon (personal preference) 

Add Matcha to a small bowl and pour warm water over it. Whisk to remove clumps. Pour into a glass with milk and ice. Add honey and cinnamon. Enjoy and Happy St Paddy’s Day! 🌈
Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and w Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and what being an artist means. I’ve concluded that art is everywhere, from keeping a home, baking bread to working with plants. Artists aren’t just those who paint or write but those that make the world more beautiful in whatever capacity they can. Would you agree? #mondaymotivation

Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. I’ve been loving @acidleague Strawberry Rose Living vinegar on my spring salads lately! 😋

Just peel off the outer cover and you’ll find a little seed pod inside. The seeds can be bitter so either boil or roast them. I’ve heard that they’re good mixed into mashed potatoes! What wild edible food have you tried lately?
