Description
Ginger helps with inflammation, muscle pain and soreness (hello, triathlon training!), indigestion, blood sugar issues, lowers cholesterol, and helps combat certain heart disease risk indicators. Turmeric is the other powerful spice I add to my smoothies. And it’s just as potent: it can lower risk of heart disease, slow aging and protect against age-related chronic disease, and also can serve as an anti-inflammatory and a natural anti-depressant. So basically, I’m not messing around.
