Drink #2: Golden Ginger Turmeric Tea This warm, soothing drink combines curcumin from turmeric—a compound with anti-inflammatory properties—with gingerol from ginger, which, according to some studies, can reduce joint stiffness and swelling. Inflammation can cause leg pain, so this tea can provide gentle relief. To prepare it, simmer a teaspoon of grated fresh ginger and a pinch of turmeric (or half a teaspoon of powder) in hot water for 10 minutes, adding a pinch of black pepper to enhance the curcumin’s absorption. Drink it morning or night, but consult your doctor first, as turmeric may interact with blood-thinning medications. Another little catch: did you ever think that the drink could also support muscle recovery? This drink might surprise you with its versatility.
