Tips (But really not sweet!): Look Pale? Try this traditional mix!

I'm one of unlucky girl with anemia. So i would look pale bare-faced. My dad always force me to drink this urm, unpleasant drink which consist of turmeric, yellow egg yolk, honey and water.

To make this, you will need:

• a thumb-sized life turmeric or 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 yellow egg yolk
• 3 tablespoon of honey
• a glass of water

How to make:

• Blend the turmeric with 1 glass of water. Sieve the fibre out (if any) and put it in a glass.
• Put honey and egg yolk.
• Voila. Drink it up. Yeah, please cover your nose. 

Did it work:
Yes. It did. I drank it like everyday (FORCED) for a couple of week. My complexion sure became brighter. That was few years ago when i was still living with my parents (high schooler!)

Well now i'm far away from home, i never drink this already. And i'm as pale as vampire. Ok, that's exaggerating. But i really looked pale.

My pale bare face!

Well, now as a nurse, i did few readings on whatever i put in my mouth or my face or anywhere of my body parts. Apparently, turmeric is rich with iron that's why it works.  There are so many traditional uses or turmeric. You can apply it on your skin or ingest it for brighter complexion.  It combats against anemia and other conditions.

*My dad added egg yolk because it's a good source of protein. Apparently, i was lacking on it! Lol

PS: It's common for women to have mild anemia.  You lost some blood every month! So don't be surprise if your blood test showed slightly low hemoglobin count. You should start worrying when it's down to 9x10^3 dl.  So try to consume food that rich in iron such as spinach, chicken liver or simply this turmeric drink!

PPS: I am having moderate to severe anemia. That's explain my pale face.
