When I was in my mom’s home, we used to have this every week on Sundays (a must when we have non-veg). Mom used to tell that it is very good for digestive problems and drinking this regularly will strengthen your body and clear any stomach ailments. When I got married, I found out that this is a regular practice happening in my MIL’s house also and so it is now a regular drink in my house too...
Read on to know the health benefits of Ginger:
# Holds carminative properties and can be consumed to relieve upset stomach
# Assists in arousing the secretion of mucus that calms the cough and sooths any scratchiness in the throat. # Used to treat nausea, predominantly in the form of morning sickness, motion sickness and as a side effect of chemotherapy.
# Contains anti viral, anti toxic, and anti fungal functions, and is utilized for the avoidance of and management against the common cold.
# Functions as an antihistamine and helps in the treatment of allergies. It has anti inflammatory properties and may be consumed to cure rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and a range of other muscular disorders.
# The roots of the Ginger are influential in slowing down the biosynthesis of prostaglandins which are accountable for causing inflammation
# Contains particular enzymes liable for catalyzing the proteins in the food, thus helping in digestion and the avoidance of cramps. The primordial Greeks used to have ginger after a hefty meal in order to simplify the digestion process.
# Guards against the growth of ulcers, surplus holes in the lining of your stomach.
# Facilitates in lowering cholesterol levels and averts the formation of blood clots.
# Utilized to resolve an upset stomach or treat harsh stomach illnesses such as dyspepsia or colic.
OMG… I didn’t know ginger has so many health benefits. Such a beneficial piece of root.
~*What U Need*~
Ginger – as needed (1 large piece)
Honey – 2 tbsp
Water – ¼ cup
How I Made it
Cut the ginger into pieces. Blend it well with some water till the juice gets extracted.
Strain the juice. You can re-blend and extract some more juice from the pulp
Heat the juice till lukewarm. Add honey and mix well. Drink hot in one gulp.
So thats it Folks...
With Love,
Signs off!!!
