Lataa Saberwal starts her day with this healthy concoction. Should you, too?

But, should you have this concoction too? Consuming neem water with a pinch of turmeric can have several potential benefits, according to Ankita Ghoshal Bisht, dietician in charge, Primus Super Speciality Hospital.

Here are some benefits shared by her:

*Antioxidant Properties: Neem and turmeric both have antioxidant properties, which can help combat oxidative stress and reduce cellular damage.
*Anti-Inflammatory: Turmeric is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate conditions like arthritis and joint pain.
*Immune System Support: Neem may support the immune system due to its antimicrobial properties.
*Skin Health: Both neem and turmeric can contribute to improved skin health and may help with conditions like acne and eczema.
*Digestive Health: Neem water might aid in digestion and help with gastrointestinal issues.

While Lataa consumes it on an empty stomach, there is no specific best time to consume neem water with turmeric. “It can be consumed in the morning on an empty stomach or at any other time of the day that suits your schedule. Some people prefer to consume it before meals to aid digestion, while others may find it more convenient to consume it with their meals,” Bisht said.

However, there are certain guidelines one must follow before its consumption.

*Moderation: Neem water with turmeric should be consumed in moderation. Excessive consumption may lead to adverse effects.
*Dilution: It’s important to dilute neem water properly to reduce its bitterness. Adding a pinch of turmeric can help with the taste.
*Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you have any underlying medical conditions, are pregnant or nursing, or are taking medications, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before adding this to your daily routine.
*Allergies: Be aware of potential allergies to neem or turmeric.

At the same time, Bisht mentioned that there are certain individuals who should avoid the consumption of neem water with turmeric.

*Pregnant and Nursing Women: Neem consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be avoided or done under strict medical supervision, as it may have adverse effects.
*Children: Neem water is not recommended for children without medical advice.
*Allergies or Sensitivities: If you are allergic to neem or turmeric or have sensitivities to them, you should avoid this mixture.
*Medication Interactions: If you are taking medications, especially blood-thinning medications or medications that affect blood sugar levels, consult your doctor before consuming neem water with turmeric, as there can be potential interactions.

“Neem water with a pinch of turmeric may offer various potential health benefits, but it should be consumed in moderation and with caution. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications. The best time to consume it can vary based on personal preference and schedule,” the nutritionist said.
