If you’re eating cold foods at this time of year, this could be contributing to an increased sweet tooth.
The reason is because our bodies crave simple sugars, the quickest form of energy.
As a suggestion, add ginger tea to your diet, which will warm you up and stimulate your metabolism. Some studies are suggesting that it may help to stop the spread of cancer by preventing or slowing the tumour growth.
It can also help in treating:
- motion sickness
- nausea and vomiting. A study published in the April 2005 issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology, ginger was more effective than prescribed anti-vomiting drugs (which can be harmful) when treating severe cases of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
- burning and itching associated with athlete's foot (let your foot soak in it)
- relieves sore throat
- headaches
- minimizes symptoms of allergies, the common cold, and other respiratory disorders
- flatulence
- reduces excessive perspiration
- decreases blood sugar
- relieves menstrual pain
- freshens bad breath
- increases libido.
Trader Joe's sells Yogi Ginger Tea, which I purchase in boxes at this time of year.
