The beginning of your day has an enormous effect on the way it will further develop. Always keep that in mind! Many counselors, gurus, and personal development trainers have said it ‘loud and clear’: Make the first hour or two in the morning be only for you and filled with constructive thought and positive energy. This will help you have a better quality of life.
Well, the same rule applies to the food you eat. Make sure to start the day with a healthy energizing and refreshing meal, that will please both your taste and your stomach!
This smoothie recipe with turmeric, chia seed, pineapple, coconut, and banana will do magic for both the morning and the rest of your day.
Health benefits:
– Turmeric is medically the most potent ingredient in this smoothie. The curcumin (the active substance in turmeric) will fight off any inflammation processes and make you feel fresh and healthy. The antioxidants in it will make your immune system more effective and rid you from the free radicals that cause additional stress to your cells.
– Pineapple is more than just a tasty fruit. In a cup of pineapple, there are only 82 calories and about 131% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. It is also a source of vitamin A, which will protect your eyesight. But the what pineapple is most famous for is its effect on stomach fat. Bromelain is an enzyme found in this fruit that effects your metabolic characteristics and makes your body burn that excess fat on your belly.
– Chia seeds are very small in size but make a great difference on the subject of nutritional value. They are stuffed with nutrients that feed your body and your brain. Being rich in protein and fiber chia will keep you healthy and fit at the same time.
