Ginger: Your New Best Friend

It’s official, ginger is your new best friend in sickness and in health! This strong-flavoured spice is top of the list when it comes to making us feel better, and most of us have no idea just how powerful this food can be. Ginger comes in many different forms, and some are much stronger than others. Fresh root ginger is the most strong and pungent. Dried ginger is often used in both sweet and savoury cooking, and crystallised ginger is great chopped-up in biscuits and cakes.
So now you know you can enjoy ginger: here's why it's your new best friend:
Sickness
Not only does it work wonders for motion sickness, ginger can also help with mild morning sickness during pregnancy. Drinking ginger ale, chewing tablets or even better, eating raw ginger can help calm the stomach and relieve nausea.
Indigestion
If you’re experiencing a little extra gas or stomach pains, ginger could well just be the cure you're looking for. Ginger can help soothe the intestines and is an all-round friend to the digestive system.
Inflammation
Getting older often leads to stiff joints, aches and pains that makes us that little bit slower at getting out of bed. Ginger has been known to treat inflammation which is what causes the joints to become painful. It has even been thought to help with osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis. Introducing ginger into your diet everyday may just make daily movements that little bit easier!
Colds
The dreaded cold - it kicks us when we’re down and spreads around the office like wildfire, and as we all know there is simply no cure. We’ve tried it, and yes - ginger is the new Lemsip! Whip up some ginger tea to help relieve a sore throat and blocked nose, or just to warm you up on those wintery days.
