Ginger for Immunity

Traditional Chinese Medicine relies on warming spices like cinnamon, turmeric and ginger to support immunity. These spices are not only easy to find, but they’re easy to incorporate into your everyday recipes for a boost.

Ginger is not only delicious, but its high antioxidant activity makes it a natural for boosting your immunity, prevent inflammation and fight off infection.

That’s not all!

• Ginger has traditionally been used to relieve nausea and to stimulate digestion

• Ginger is mucolytic, meaning it can thin mucus and make it easier to cough up. If you have CF, thinning mucus makes life a lot more comfortable

• The active compound in ginger, known as gingerol, may inhibit the growth of certain types of bacteria.

Here’s a recipe for Goji Berry Date & Ginger Tea that includes both ginger and goji berries, another superfood has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine to boost immunity, ward off illness and infection.

Enjoy!
