Why I Drink Ginger Tea (oh and i mix it with my aminos)

I have started recently adding ginger root tea to my diet because of several reasons. I often notice that because of my exercise regimen, work and school, I get tired quicker as the day goes on. Someone mentioned to me just how beneficial ginger is to ones’ health and especially to those who exercise.

Being active is hard on the body, so one of the many reasons I take ginger is because of its powerful antioxidant properties. I can notice a difference in just how my body responds after I drink the tea. It’s not immediate but a couple hours later I feel better, more alert, and my muscles feel recovered. It definitely is something I feel and notice. Ginger helps alleviate achy and sore muscles. That allows me to be fresh the next day to workout again, more recovered.

Being lethargic is something I can’t afford with my busy schedule. Most of the time, that mid day crash is due to your glucose levels being off balance. That causes one to feel tired and sluggish. Ginger has been shown to help regulate blood glucose levels and improve alertness in individuals. Adding ginger to your lunch and boosting your focus for the rest of the day is a great all natural alternative to your sugary filed energy drinks.

HOW I MAKE MY GINGER ROOT TEA…..

Ok, so its simple. I will cut up a small chunk of my ginger into small pieces, I weighed it out and it was about 3g of ginger, so not that much. That made me about 5 cups to drink throughout my day. I the get a sauce pan or whatever you wish to boil water in. I added about 5 cups of water to my sauce pan with my ginger in it. Set on high to medium heat on stove until it boils, leave on for about 3-5 min. Remove from stove, let cool and drink!

** If you checked out my Instagram (@rcfitness) you saw that I mixed my ginger tea with Alpha Aminos. It was delicious. I loved that combo, you can bet I will be doing it again!
