Ginger & Turmeric Tea
Fall is here. Spice it up with some turmeric tea. This ginger and turmeric tea recipe is chock-full of antioxidants. Merriam Webster defines antioxidants as a substance (as beta-carotene or vitamin C) that inhibits oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen, peroxides, or free radicals and a substance that is added to food and other products to prevent harmful chemical reactions in which oxygen is combined with other substances. Many prostate cancer diets suggest a diet rich in antioxidants.
Turmeric and ginger are often touted for their therapeutic benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, both of these naturally growing roots may have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and could offer many other health benefits. You can incorporate ginger and turmeric into meals, beverages, or even take them in a supplement form.
Turmeric is known for reducing chronic joint pain and has long been used as a treatment. Ginger has anti-nausea, digestive, and respiratory benefits in addition to its antioxidant benefits.
As the air cools, warm up with this ginger and turmeric tea. It’s delicious, soothing and will make you feel cozy inside with every sip.

How about green tea? I have read it is really good for the prostate, I started drinking green tea and eating “clean” ( When I say clean I mean healthy), also found a good supplement for my prostate named alpharise, it has saw palmetto and zinc, I have been working out and I quit smoking. My life has changed for better, I am a healthier person now.
Glad to hear you have changed your life and are healthier. Although, sad to hear cancer was the cause. We at PC News Today hope that you continue to do well and stay healthy!
