Kickstart your week by taking your dietary supplements daily
and try including fresh Garlic and Ginger as an extra bonus. Throughout the
year I mince about 1 Teaspoon of each in its fresh form but now that fall weather
entered the scene, I try to take it 2-3 times per month. Sometimes both or at
different times.
The
Benefits
Both in the same family, they carry powerful cleansing
anti-inflammatory properties. Both can aid your immune system against colds and
flu, if taken regularly. It’s great for boosting your metabolism which can help
burn fat; a win win situation. Garlic is known to help reduce plaque in arteries
and aid blood clots. Not a fan of taking it in raw form, adding it to your
meals when cooking is a great alternative.
I’ve got use to mincing a spoonful (about 1-2 cloves) with water/juice/green
tea nearby to wash it down and I’m done. Remember, both Ginger and Garlic is
hot when eaten raw so don’t let it sit in your mouth too long. Also, because it’s
minced so tiny/fine, no need to chew it….at least I don’t. Garlic is available
in pill/capsule form.
(FYI: Many hair companies make garlic
formulated shampoo/conditioners which helps stimulates the scalp resulting in
stronger hair and fight scalp infection such as ringworm. Used over time can
improve the condition of your hair/scalp.)
As for Ginger, I love using it in my Asian meals. This can
be taken raw and also available in capsule and tea form as well. Through my
research, I found that it helps the colon by removing waste and toxins that
accumulated in the walls of the colon. BUT, this should be avoided if a person
have ulcers, which I read that can worsen the condition, check with your doctor
if you are not sure or to learn more.
Stay healthy and safe XOXO
DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor and taking Garlic and Ginger may be ok with some but not be suitable for others. Your physician will know your medical history, so always check before trying new/certain things.
