Ginger can help soothe an upset stomach. It can also help with morning sickness in expectant mothers. For those who are not expectant mothers, you can gain other benefits of fresh ginger. 

It can reduce muscle pain and soreness following intense workout sessions.This is vital if you are changing the intensity of your workout from a typical cardio workout to something like crossfit. In addition to these benefits, ginger can also help regulate blood sugar and improve the risks of heart disease related illnesses.

How to Add Ginger to Your Daily Diet

Adding ginger to your diet can be done in a number of ways. Like most superfoods, you can add ginger through the use of an organic, non-GMO, vegan supplement. You can take it in pill form once to several times a day. In addition to this method you can also make ginger based teas with shredded ginger. You can cut and dehydrate ginger to use in fruit juices and smoothies. If you are making soups or spicy foods, you can add ginger directly as a form of spice. Candied ginger can be used in sweets as well. 

These are just the basic key points about ginger to consider. By adding it to at least one meal or juice a day, you can reap the benefits of this amazing superfood. Keep in mind, you can also grow your own ginger by using one part of a ginger root. Just plant the ginger root as you would any other root plant and grow. You can cut off portions of the root to use as needed or remove the whole root from the planter and harvest it to make candied ginger or to use in teas and cooking.
