​Advantages of ginger

ADVANTAGES OF GINGER: The most ancient ingredient found in the Indian kitchen, ginger is a rhizome known for its medicinal use and the flavour it brings in our food and chai. Ginger has been used as a digestive relief for a million years. This is because it has thermogenic properties which also produces heating effect in the body leading to a boost in our metabolism. It is due to these reasons that ginger can be considered a multi-dimensional stem.

Benefits of cumin

BENEFITS OF CUMIN: Another strongly flavoured spice, cumin is originally a native to the Mediterranean countries. Cumin is loaded with potassium, iron and dietary fiber. Cumin seeds also contain small amounts of vitamin C, E and K. Cumin can help eliminate body fat and decreasing unhealthy cholesterol levels.

​The recipe

Bring this water to a boil and let it reduce to half its volume (approximately 250 ml- one glass). If you wish to enhance the flavour of this drink, you can add cinnamon and cardamom with a dash of lemon juice (freshly squeezed). Strain this combination and have this as your morning drink for ten days for best results. Follow this up with a minimum of 45 minutes exercises and proper diet.
