Why should ginger be in your diet?

For thousands of years, healers have used ginger for people who were suffering from various conditions. Why should you use ginger?

• It is easy to digest
• anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties

What ginger should I use?

I believe that it is always best to use fresh products as opposed to processed. 

The ginger you use will be better if it has smooth skin and no sprouts. You should peel it. Then you can slice it and dice it or grind it to a powder. It will add flavor and health to your favorite dishes and smoothies.
