Inflammation is a blessing and a curse.
Inflammation is our body's natural response to injury and infection. The immune system triggers inflammation to send blood to an affected area. This is a blessing. Chronic inflammation can be a curse and cause a multitude of issues including mental health and heart issues.
Drink
Golden milk
Breakfast is a perfect time for golden milk made with nut milk, turmeric, ginger, a sprinkle of pepper, cinnamon, maple syrup, and, my personal favorite, cardamon. This powerhouse of a beverage will jumpstart your day.
Lunch
Spinach and persimmon salad
Persimmon sweetens this pungent spinach salad paired with vegan feta cheese. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory.
Dinner
Carrot and Turmeric Soup
This luscious soup is delicious with a slight earthy yet sweet taste from the carrots and turmeric. When paired with garlic broccolini and meaty king oyster mushrooms, this soup is a filling dinner.
