Ginger has many practical uses that not only help you to follow your diet but will add a spicy flavor to your kitchen.

Ginger can be your ally in these cold and wet times, as it has properties that help control joint pain, as well as it helps prevent seasonal ‘flu’, as it has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-allergenic effects.

Ginger accelerates our metabolism and improves digestion while promoting the absorption of nutrients a nd elimination of waste from the body, which prevents weight gain.

In that sense, it is important to lead an active life, exercise regularly and maintain a balanced diet. And an ingredient that can help us achieve the goal of avoiding overweight is ginger. Are you interested in knowing in what way?

The use of ginger in medicine is not new. In fact, Galen, one of the fathers of this discipline, already used it in different treatments; and has been highly prized for centuries in Asia for its healing properties. Although it can be consumed in many ways, whether in sweets or as an ingredient in prepared foods, ginger tea is also a very popular – albeit slightly softer – a way of consuming this root.

 

In addition to being used as a digestive snack, it will help you control that voracious appetite, but how to prepare it?

I give you 3 ideas:

Infusion: Thoroughly wash the root of the ginger, cut 3 slices diagonally and in ½ glass of water boil 5 min; You can dilute it and take it alone (although it is spicy), but if it is too strong for you, you can dilute it in 3 liters of water of Jamaica or lemon. Remember that you must keep the water in refrigeration or in a very cool place.

 

In the vegetable soup. Wash the root very well and add 1 very small piece, remember that it is a very strong flavor so you can experiment with the quantity according to your palate.
