[nckfitheart2009]

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I posted my last thread. I would like to experiment some anti-inflammatory
superfoods. Ginger in any fresh state is what I would like to add to my nutrition, on regular basis
What is the best way of consuming ginger? Juice is one of the way but what are other?

I ate some ginger donut, an african speciality. Because it is deeply fried, It has been a
no no for a very very long time Any suggestion on how to make a healthy version

I am calling on all of you knowledgeable nutrition enthusiasts and Educated folks.

Looking forward to reading some insightful posts cathletes.

To kick off the discussion here is some science:

I'm a big fan of ginger tea.
Just peal a 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger, slice it up, and microwave it in water to your liking. Let it steep for a few minutes and you're ready to drink.
I usually add a big of nutmeg for added flavor.

Agree with above, I love tea! But you can also throw fresh ginger in a healthy stir fry, I love that as well! Smoothies and blended protein shakes are great to add ginger to. Turmeric is also good for inflammation. I use cleanse for life drink from Isagenix sometimes after hard workouts, it has turmeric, antioxidants and herbs that help fight free radicals.

Ditto! Ginger is also considered a "healthy brain" food too. This cookbook by Rebecca Katz is terrific. She uses LOTS of ginger. I've made many recipes in the book so far, but still have more I want to try. Everything I've made thus far has been delicious, and the recipes themselves are rather easy to prepare.

Funny you would bring ginger up Nckfitheart2009. I've recently started mxing apple cider vinegar, a bit of honey, water, ginger, and a pinch of cayenne for my morning protocol. Each of those things has great benefits, so I don't think I can go wrong!!
