Ginger!
Ginger is full of flavour and health benefits!
Did you know that Ginger is also popularly used as an alternative medicine for treating diarrhoea, upper respiratory infections, hair loss, burns, and even reducing inflammation?
That’s not all! In one study, researchers found a 1-gram dose of Ginger helped reduce nausea and vomiting caused by morning sickness. I ate a lot of ginger biscuits to get me through my pregnancies!
Eating Ginger raw or in capsule form daily might also ease sore muscles and potentially help alleviate arthritis symptoms. This is due to the enzymes found in this root that play a crucial role in reducing inflammation.
Ginger can be consumed and enjoyed in more ways than I can list. Just remember that some forms of Ginger (like powdered and raw) have fewer calories than others. Did you know candied Ginger is cooked in syrup and coated with sugar? Take care of the pickled Ginger on your sushi roll, as it’s packed with unhealthy sodium!
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
