Moon milk at Bedtime and how it can Benefit your Health.

For many of us, a warm cup of milk at bedtime was a childhood ritual but now the tradition is back with a twist and turn. Moon Milk is warm milk with spices, herbs, and nutrients (Ashwagandha, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon) to help balance your hormones. So, cozying up with a warm glass of Moon Milk can help you doze off faster.

Moon Milk also be known as Golden Milk comes from the Indian drink Haldi doodh that translates to “turmeric milk” in Hindi. Let’s read some major health benefits of the Moon milk and enjoy it daily:

• Helps in Better Sleep: Milk is rich in an amino acid called tryptophan and melatonin which is known for inducing better sleep and drinking it before bed can make you naturally feel a bit drowsy. Milk is also packed with several essential nutrients (like protein, vitamin, calcium, fats, etc), which promotes strength and the overall health of the body.
• Contains Anti-inflammatory Properties: Turmeric has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may help to dull pain, due to the presence of its active ingredient called curcumin. Less pain and discomfort will result in more restful sleep. Also, turmeric has carmative effects which aid better digestion and metabolism, promoting overall health.
• Helps in Fighting Stress and Anxiety: Ashwagandha is a traditional herb known for its medicinal properties for ages. Adaptogens in Ashwagandha can help you to feel relaxed, especially when consumed consistently. Ashwagandha helps to decrease the secretion of stress hormones including cortisol and to buffer against negative effects of stress including fatigue and mood swings. It is also known for balancing the functioning of our body and aids overall immunity and strength.
• Help Curb Cravings and Satisfy Your Desire for Sweets: Rather than eating sweets after dinner, try having a cozy cup of moon milk instead, which will provide small amounts of natural sugars and carbohydrates from milk and honey, along with cinnamon that may help reduce sugar cravings. Cinnamon is a naturally warm and sweet spice that can support metabolic health and help to prevent spikes in blood sugar and insulin. As a result, it will lead to fewer ups and downs in terms of your energy and potentially a reduced desire to snack on sweets.
• Anti-microbial properties: Healthy saturated fats of coconut oil are capable of helping to protect the brain from degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. It also helps you to provide high satiety value and goes so far as to help you lose weight. Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties so it is considered the perfect food for maintaining top gut health.
