You may have noticed that my husband and I have been taking ginger lemon shots on the daily…and I’m about to fill you in on why!!

Food truly is medicine, and ginger is a prime example of this. This root is packed full of healing properties. Here are a few of the biggies…

Improves digestion

Reduces gas and bloating

Alleviates nausea

Helps the body recover from the cold/flu faster

Strengthens immune system

Decreases inflammation

Reduces pain

Supports your heart

Helps to remove free radicals in the body

Ginger is super alkalizing and therefore helps to make the body even more alkalizing…and an undesirable place for disease and illness. Ginger has a 28,811 score on the ORAC chart which is really high. Every time you eat or juice ginger think about the nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants flooding through and healing your body.

You can slice up raw ginger and make a tea, juice the root, or even grate fresh ginger into your meal.

Each morning I juice approximately 2-3 inches of fresh organic ginger with 1-2 lemons, which makes 2 ginger lemon shots!

Have you tried a ginger lemon shot before?? This is one of my favorite ways to energize in the morning.
