Supplements can be of great help in getting rid of free radicals to our body. A good source of vitamins and antioxidants to suffice what we lack from food intake.

Oh man WOW. Really great post. And really really nice visual design, including photos. I am not the world’s biggest tofu fan but that one pic made my mouth water (ok so I haven’t lunch yet either …..)
I have seen ginger and also horseradish mentioned when talking health benefits. Additions and subtractions to diet are overlooked too often when talking about health!
My old neighbor has been battling sinus infections for years and is now having a balloon sinuplasty operation to open things up. I remember getting into a discussion w/ him about diet and then nasal irrigation and his eyes just kind of glazed over.
Anyway thanks again for posting. Now if I can just find someplace downtown that will serve me some sort of ginger/tofu dish ………

This was an AMAZING post, thank you so much for all the great information. I cook with ginger a lot, but always in it’s dried, powder form. Today was the first time I bought raw ginger, I can’t wait to work with it.

thanks everyone for your kind words!

stacy – yeah, i did too for many years, but only recently did i see fresh turmeric root that a customer at my juice bar had purchased at a specialty health food story. he had me juice it with a little fresh ginger and lemon and we each drank about 4 oz shots of it. it was amazing! i wish it was more prevalent here but the customer did mention that they are starting to grow in hawaii, so maybe we’ll see more fresh turmeric in american groceries in the years to come.

Thanks for the informative post! I love ginger, for its taste and aid in easing stomach upset/nausea. Now I have even more uses for my favorite rhizome. I need to try juicing it.

And I had no idea turmeric was anything like ginger. I just buy the jars of powder and don’t often think about what these things are or where they come from.
