Bentong Ginger and Turmeric Drink: My two months review

I simply love this drink and today, I fall in love with it more for these reasons, two months ago:

1. my blood pressure was around 145/80 and today it is 125/71
2. I couldn't get up from a full squat position without holding on to something and today I can rise easily, no aid required,
3. I do not feel bloated or "full of gas" any more.

I monitor my blood pressure because I am terrified of the effects.  I have seen many people get stroke from high blood pressure hence I try to maintain a good blood pressure.  Like everyone else, sometimes I get a bit lazy if I have to watch everything that I eat.  I also enjoy being active so I need a method that is easy to maintain good muscle and joint aches and pains as well as flexibility.  Hence, my joy at these two areas.

I love experimenting healthy drinks on myself first and preferably, farm-made because source of materials is important to me.  There are a few qualities that I look for:

1. Taste: This is important as if it doesn't taste to my liking, chances of me continuing to drink it is small
2. Ease of consumption: It has to be easily consumed.  If I need to go through a hassle to drink it, chances are I won't be bothered to go through the effort.
3. Methods of consumption:  This combination is versatile.  I can make a drink by adding water to the concentrate, leave it unsweetened or sweetened with honey or brown sugar or molasses; add it to regular tea; drink it warm or cold; add it olive oil, lime, salt and pepper to make a salad dressing; or use it in cooking.
4. Ease of preparation:  It is easy to prepare although it is time-consuming.  The upside is, I can prepare a concentrate that can be stored in the fridge for at least 1 month and no preservatives.
5. Minimal adverse effect:  No known adverse effects to drinking this normally.
6. Ease of source materials: These plants are easy to grow so I plant a lot of them at the farm.  This provides me with easy access to source materials.

I am looking forward to my blood tests results next week which I hope will show other good results.  In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy to drink this.  I also encourage everyone to plant these two plants and reap the benefits :)
