Keto Pudding Recipe with Turmeric: Reduce Inflammation & Fight Cravings- Thomas DeLauer…
Ingredients – 2 servings :
1 cup almond milk
1 ½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp ceylon cinnamon powder
⅓ tsp ginger powder
2-3 drops ghee
½ tsp stevia
4 Tbs chia seeds
Turmeric- Turmeric is a spice that has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. The yellow color is thanks to curcuminoids, which are responsible for many of the health benefits of turmeric.
Turmeric is a potent:
Anti-Inflammatory
Antioxidant
Anti-cancer agent
Antibacterial agent
Hypoglycemic agent
Antimicrobial
Turmeric has been shown in studies to be beneficial for:
Arthritis pain
Digestive health, including IBD, Crohn’s disease, and ulcers
Cardiovascular health
Cancer prevention/treatment
Those with diabetes
Liver health
Protecting against oxidative damage
Chia Seeds- Chia seeds are a great source of:
Omega-3 fatty acids
Fiber
Protein (one of the few complete plant proteins)
Vitamins and minerals – high in:
Calcium, potassium, and phosphorus
Selenium, iron, and zinc
Phytonutrients
Antioxidants
Chia seeds have been shown to:
Display anti-cancer effects
Protect brain, cardiac, and liver health
Help control diabetes
Promote digestive health
Relieve some anxiety and depression
Boost immune system
Many of these benefits are thanks to the strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of chia seeds.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids- Omega-3 fatty acids are powerful anti-inflammatory agents, and roughly 65% of the oil found in chia seeds is in the form of omega-3 fatty acids. In the Western diet we consume far too few omega-3 fatty acids, and chia seeds are a great source available to vegans and omnivores alike. Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in neurological health and cardiovascular health. Combining the powerful health benefits of turmeric with the protein, fiber, and omega-3 fats in chia will help you feel full and have a well-rounded and nutritionally powerful breakfast or snack.
