Elif’s Notes

As knowledge of the gut-brain relationship develops, we have bettered our understanding of the role of chronic inflammation in both physical and mental illness. “Anti-Inflammatory Drinks for Health” is a clear and easy to follow book of anti-inflammatory drink recipes. Though I am not a nutritionist, nor a fan of overdoing detox drinks, I found this to be an interesting read and quite enjoyed several recipes. As someone who is terrible in the kitchen but adores natural remedies, I really enjoyed the simplicity and clarity of the recipes! Note: I personally don’t use Erythritol in the recipes, and prefer alternatives to sugar such as honey.
