[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

Hey everyone!
Sorry it’s been such a long time since I’ve uploaded anything, but hopefully I’ll be able to upload videos more frequently now!

This is currently one of my favourite breakfasts/snack because it’s so warming and comforting on these cold wintery days! It can also be made with sweet potatoes instead, or a combination of both. This recipe is oil-free, refined sugar free, easy to make, vegan and super delicious! So it’s basically good for you right?

Hope you enjoy this video, please let me know your thoughts, feedback, or what other videos you’d like to see me do!

RECIPE:

- Pumpkin or Sweet Potato
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 tsp Allspice
- Coconut Sugar or Liquid Sweetener (Optional)

1. Remove the pumpkin seeds ( I save mine and wash them to roast later)

2. Remove the skin and dice the pumpkin to whatever size you prefer.

3. Microwave for about 4 minutes until tender (optional, but speeds up the baking/roasting time. Which is always a bonus )

4. Spread out the pumpkin on a lined baking tray, and mix in the pieces until well combined and coated evenly.

5. Bake at 180-200C until they’re slightly crispy on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside – about 15-20 mins (Or your preferred doneness)

6. Add whatever toppings you like and Enjoy!

All of these measurements are estimates and you can change them up to suit your taste

Thank you for watching!

Morning Drink Recipe: Weight Loss and Adrenal Fatigue: Thomas DeLauer

Coconut Cranberry Smoothie

Ingredients

- Coconut Water/Milk
- Cranberries
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
- Cream of tartar
- Maca Root (powder)

Coconut Water or Coconut Milk

One side effect of adrenal fatigue is high blood pressure

A 2005 study found that when subjects were given coconut water for two weeks, their systolic blood pressure was 71% lower and their diastolic blood pressure was 29% lower than those who drank plain water.

The high potassium content of coconut water has led researchers to investigate the potential benefits for reducing cardiovascular disease risk.

Cranberries

It is the high levels of the specific substance proanthocyanidins (PACs) that are found in cranberries that helps the body’s immune function to ward off illness and disease.

Proanthocyanidins refers to a larger class of polyphenols – these powerful polyphenols are able to nurture the lining of the gut, where a large majority of the immune system is actually located.

Because cranberries can ward off harmful bacteria from accumulating and growing in the gut lining, healthy immune-boosting bacteria are able to thrive and create a powerful defense against sickness.

The polyphenols may help prevent the build-up of plaque on vessel walls, and the antioxidant components of cranberries are also linked to a reduction in blood pressure.

Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

It supplies an astonishing 84 unique trace minerals. There are 21 trace minerals that are widely agreed upon to be necessary for the body’s metabolic processes

Himalayan salt is mined from 200 million year-old seabeds; it is completely free of the heavy metals and other toxins that show up in sea salts harvested from today’s oceans.

When the adrenal glands are fatigued, they fail to produce adequate amounts of several hormones, including aldosterone.

Lack of aldosterone can disrupt the sodium balance at a cellular level. This can actually increase your needs for natural sodium and helps explain the salt cravings many people with adrenal fatigue experience (could explain why certain people favor salty foods more than others). (3)

Cream of Tartar

Cream of tartar, also called potassium hydrogen tartrate, is an acidic natural by-product of winemaking.

Adrenal fatigue can cause hypertension, or high blood pressure, and can lead to heart attack and strokes.

If you do suffer from low potassium, however, cream of tartar is a simple fix, packed with 16,500 mg of potassium in a mere 100 grams of cream of tartar (4)

Secret Ingredient: Maca Root (powder)

Clinical trials have shown that maca has positive effects on energy, stamina, and mood. Maintaining positive energy levels is related to having lower levels of anxiety and depression, both of which maca has been shown to positively help achieve.

Maca root is an adaptogen herb, which means that it helps only where it is needed. For instance, if your body is overproducing a hormone, it regulates it back to normal and if your body under-produces a hormone, it helps raise the level until it is balanced.

The adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system and are managed by the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands. When someone is suffering from adrenal fatigue, their adrenal glands are unbalanced causing excessive tiredness and horrible stress.

Maca root, when used consistently, has the power to nourish and stimulate the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands which in turn brings balance to the adrenal glands
