As we continue down the path of our "ROOT of all HEALTH" series, I am going to talk about a powerful root spice vegetable that is a relative cousin of the Turmeric Root known as Ginger Root. It is considered one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. I was first introduced to ginger by juicing it and adding it to my green vegetable juices that I would drink daily while recovering from life threatening digestive disease. I was hesitant to try it because I had never been able to tolerate spicy foods, but a friend encouraged me to stick with it, be consistent and I would soon feel the results. I choked down the first couple of drinks and it took adjustment for sure, but just fifteen minutes after drinking each, I had an intense rush of clean energy, mental clarity and overall feel good sensation. I was amazed, in love and completely sold from then on. I consume ginger almost everyday now. Yes, it is that good. There are many possible health benefits attached when discussing the power of ginger root, here are at least 5 topics of discussion that really stick out to me.
- Antioxidants - Ginger has a long history of traditional use to support digestive comfort. Antioxidant compounds in Ginger such as polyphenols, vitamin C, beta-carotene, flavonoids and tannins are naturally found in ginger.
