Special thanks to Gerolsteiner and Fit Approach for sponsoring this post.
Since I’m rehabbing this tendon injury, I’m paying special attention to expediting healing and fighting inflammation. Dr. Miracle specifically recommended I take in plenty of anti-inflammatory foods as well as Vitamin C so I concocted this tasty lemonade with one of my favorite inflammation fighters: Fresh turmeric. It adds a nice, zingy flavor and you can’t argue with the health benefits. Turmeric contains curcumin, which is a natural anti-inflammatory compound and antioxidant. Fresh lemons are not only refreshing and delicious but packed with Vitamin C. Perfection!
What could be better than Turmeric Lemonade? I’ll tell you: Sparkling Turmeric Lemonade! Because everything’s better with a little sparkle! For that, I turned to my favorite: Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water. I already told you all about the many health benefits of water born deep in the earth. Go here if you missed it.
The Gerolsteiner Sparkling Detox Challenge starts September 11!
For five days we’ll trade our usual beverages and drink only Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water. I took part in this challenge last year and the results were so positive, I’m back for another round!
