The Benefits of Ginger

The Benefits of Ginger

I use ginger in a lot of my recipes. It is really beneficial for your health. It takes the toxins out of your body which is really cool! If you live in the city or where there is a lot of smog you should use ginger everyday to combat the pollution that you breath everyday! Here are some other great benefits of ginger:

• Helps aid in digestion
• Helps suppress your appetite
• Clears your sinuses for better breathing
• Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties so if you have joint pain eat up!
• Ginger also helps with nausea. All you have to do is chew on a small piece of ginger and you will feel much better
• Helps with your circulation so if you are having fever and chills take some grated ginger and lemon and make a hot cup of tea out of it to heal yourself!
• Strengthens your immunity
• Combats motion sickness

 

I use a small piece every morning in my smoothies! Just peel the brown skin from the outside of the ginger and throw it in the rest of your green smoothie ingredients! You will do your body good!

You can also add grated ginger to your cooked rice, a marinade for your tofu, or just in your stir fries!

What do you do with your ginger?

Namaste!
