Turmeric Milk
Turmeric contains antioxidant, anti-arthritic, and anti-inflammatory properties. An easy method to consume turmeric is to mix a small quantity (1/2 teaspoon) of turmeric powder in a glass of warm milk. One can add honey or jaggery to the milk if a sweet taste is preferred. Consume this drink, preferably just before bedtime to allow the anti-inflammatory process to work while you sleep.
Consuming dairy products may increase inflammation in some people. In such cases, trying plant-based milk, such as almond milk can be helpful.
Ginger-Green tea
Infused-herbal drinks, such as ginger-green tea contains the pain-relieving benefits of both green tea and ginger. Ginger-green tea bags can be purchased from grocery stores and one can easily enjoy a cup either at work or at home.
