Ginger Juice for Digestion

IMG_6097

Ginger is widely recommended as an aid for good digestion.  It is a commonly used spice in Asian cooking. It is also used for preventing motion and morning sickness up to a certain extent.

If you do not use ginger in your daily cooking, then this juice is a great way to get some into your system. It has a sharp taste from the ginger, with a hint of lemon and some sweetness from the sugar.
