3 Ways to Eat More Ginger

Ginger is a warm and invigorating. It not only tastes delicious, but comes in handy when you’re feeling under the weather! This antiviral, immune-boosting spice has been used for centuries to remedy chest and nasal congestion. Although the spicy root has a warming effect on the body, it cools and soothes inflammation. Ginger can reduce skin redness, boost digestion and is a proven reliever of muscle aches and pains brought on by exercise. In honor of keeping up exercise resolutions and fighting off colds, here are some gingery recipe ideas to spice up your diet. 🌱🧡
