3 Easy Ways to Boost Your Health with Ginger

Ginger Should Be Your New Best Friend:

3 Easy Ways to Boost Your Health with This Superfood 🧡

I absolutely love ginger. I literally eat ginger slices like they are cookies. Don’t ask me why. I don’t even know how it started. All I know is, after my first taste of raw ginger, I was hooked. I’m sure it was me trying to fake cook some recipe in a book and I took a bite and that was it. Sounds typical. Whatever the case, I literally can't get enough of it. That picture? It’s my typical 2x/week haul. Whether it’s in my morning tea, snacking on fresh slices, or adding a spicy kick to my meals, ginger is a go-to for me—and here’s why it should be for you too. 🌟

Ginger isn’t just a flavorful addition to your kitchen, it’s also packed with benefits, especially for women like us who are juggling all the things in our fabulous 40s and 50s. From supporting digestion to reducing inflammation and even boosting immunity, this humble root has a lot more to offer than you might realize. Trust me, I’ve been eating ginger for years, and I really enjoy the taste and the way it makes me feel. So, let’s dive into how you can easily incorporate ginger into your daily routine—because you deserve to feel your best, inside and out.

Ginger Tea: Your New Morning Ritual 🍵

If you’re not already sipping on ginger tea, what are you waiting for? It’s one of the easiest ways to get that spicy, soothing goodness into your life. And the best part? You’ve got options!

  • Fresh Ginger: You can grab a piece of fresh ginger, slice it up, and steep it in hot water for a few minutes. It’s like a warm hug for your insides, perfect for calming an upset stomach or just starting your day off right. Want to get extra fancy? Eat the ginger slice after your tea—talk about a double dose of goodness.


  • Powdered Ginger: If fresh ginger feels like a lot of work, or is too hard to find, go for powdered ginger. You can toss it in your tea infuser with some loose-leaf tea, or just stir it straight into hot water. Make sure to strain out any undissolved bits, though. We don’t need any unexpected texture surprises in our tea! 😂

  • Ready-Made Ginger Tea: No time for all that? There are plenty of ginger teas already prepared for you. Just follow the package instructions and enjoy all the spicy benefits without lifting a finger. Easy peasy! Just make sure it actually contains ginger and is not “ginger flavored.” 🙄

Juicing with Ginger: The Flavor Boost Your Smoothie Needs

If you’re already a juicing or smoothie pro (or just getting into it), ginger can take your creations to a whole new level. I love adding it to my juice for an instant energy boost—and, the best part, it gives the drink a little kick.

Here’s how to get it in your juice:

  • Ground Ginger: Simply add a small amount of ground ginger to your juice or smoothie. Start with a little because, like I said, ginger packs a punch! (A little goes a long way!)


  • Ginger Oil: If you're feeling extra, ginger oil is a game changer. Just make sure it’s labeled food-grade. You don't want to end up with the kind that's for massage or stress relief. 🤭

  • Ginger Powder: A pinch of ginger powder can be added directly into your juice or smoothie. But heads up—some powders might leave a gritty texture, so make sure you're okay with that. If not, ground ginger or oil might be your best bet!

Ginger Capsules:

Spice Without the Heat

Iet it—sometimes you just don’t want to feel the heat of ginger on your tongue. No worries, there’s an option for you! Ginger capsules are a great way to get all the health benefits without the spicy kick. Perfect for when you’re on the go or if you want a more convenient way to add ginger into your routine.

All you have to do is follow the dosage instructions on the bottle (most brands recommend 1-3 capsules a day). But, like with any spice, take it easy at first. If you’ve got a sensitive stomach or heartburn, you might want to start slow. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

More Ways to Enjoy Ginger: The Sky’s the Limit! 🌱

Now, don’t limit yourself to just tea, juice, or capsules. Ginger is versatile and can be added to so many parts of your diet. Try it in:

  • Smoothie Bowls: Sprinkle some powdered ginger on top for an added zing.
  • Salads: Shred fresh ginger and toss it into your salad dressing. Instant flavor upgrade!
  • Stir-fries: Add sliced ginger to your stir-fry for a burst of heat.
  • Baked Goods: Yes, ginger even works in cakes, cookies, and muffins for that warm, spiced flavor we all love!

Ginger’s beauty lies in its versatility—and it’s not just for the kitchen! It also works wonders for our bodies, easing bloating, reducing inflammation, and supporting your immune system. I’m all for feeling fabulous at every age, and ginger helps me do just that.
