The search for natural alternatives to complement a balanced diet has been gaining more followers. Among the trends attracting attention from nutrition experts is a simple recipe that combines three ingredients: unflavored gelatin, turmeric, and Himalayan pink salt. The combination, which went viral on social media, is pointed out by nutritionists as an interesting option for those who want to incorporate more nutrients into their daily routine.

The recipe, popularly known as "golden gelatin" due to the color provided by turmeric, has its origins in traditional Asian medicine practices, where turmeric has been used for millennia for its functional properties. According to experts, each ingredient contributes uniquely to the potential benefits of the preparation.

## Understanding the Ingredients

### Unflavored Gelatin

Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen, composed mainly of the amino acids glycine and proline. According to studies published in scientific nutrition journals, these amino acids play important roles in the body, including supporting joint and digestive system health.

One tablespoon of unflavored gelatin contains approximately 6 to 7 grams of protein, with no added sugars or carbohydrates. When hydrated, gelatin forms a gel that may help with satiety.

### Turmeric (Curcuma)

Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, is a root native to Southeast Asia. Its main bioactive compound, curcumin, is responsible for its characteristic yellow-orange color and has been the subject of extensive scientific studies.

"Curcumin has well-documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in scientific literature. Its bioavailability can be increased when combined with piperine, found in black pepper, or with healthy fats."

Among the benefits associated with turmeric in scientific literature are: immune system support, aid in digestion through stimulation of bile production, and antioxidant properties that help combat free radicals.

### Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan pink salt is a type of mineral salt extracted from mines in Pakistan, near the Himalayan mountain range. Its pink color is due to the presence of over 80 trace minerals, including iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

Unlike refined table salt, Himalayan salt does not undergo chemical bleaching processes and retains its natural minerals. However, nutritionists warn that it should be consumed in moderation, like any type of salt.

## What Experts Say

Nutrition professionals emphasize that recipes like this can be part of a balanced diet but should not be seen as miracle solutions. The key to health lies in a holistic approach that includes varied nutrition, adequate hydration, regular physical exercise, and professional guidance.

"Natural ingredients like turmeric and mineral salt can complement a balanced diet. However, it is essential that people seek guidance from nutritionists or doctors before making significant changes to their diet, especially those with specific health conditions."

## Important Considerations

#### ⚠️ Attention

This content is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not replace consultations with qualified health professionals. People with medical conditions, pregnant women, nursing mothers, or those taking medications should consult a doctor before incorporating new ingredients into their diet. Results may vary from person to person.

Turmeric may interact with some medications, including blood thinners and diabetes medications. People with gallbladder problems should also be cautious, as turmeric stimulates bile production.

Salt, even in its mineral form, should be consumed in moderation. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum intake of 5g of salt per day for adults.

## How to Incorporate into Your Routine

For those who want to try the recipe, experts suggest starting gradually and observing how the body reacts. The preparation can be consumed in the morning, on an empty stomach, or before main meals, according to individual preference.

Other ways to incorporate turmeric into your diet include:

- Adding the spice to soups, broths, and stews
- Preparing traditional "golden milk" or turmeric latte
- Including it in smoothies with fruits and vegetables
- Seasoning rice, vegetables, and proteins

Consistency is more important than quantity. Small portions consumed regularly as part of a balanced diet tend to be more beneficial than large sporadic amounts.
