The last couple of weeks have been pretty hard on all of my family. I want to make an effort and create a better blog here, something my mother can open up and look at for healthy eating choices,healthy food that even my father would eat. All those who know my father know that making him eat anything non- Andhra is as plausible as making pigs fly :)
Here's to Dad and to low glycemic, low cholesterol food!
I have previously mentioned that ginger has been shown to have amazing anti-inflammatory effects. I have noticed that the link I have provided previously has been moved, and doesn't exist any more. Please check this link for the detailed health benefits of ginger:

I have been sniffling and sneezing the last few days, and finally decided to fight off the virus with the staple brewed ginger tea. I don't really like the pungent taste of plain ginger tea, so in order to make it palatable, I added the lemon and the honey. As to how efficient it really is, all I have to say is that I can breathe again.
Ingredients:
Water: 1.5 cups
Ginger: 2 inch root, crushed
Honey: 1 tbsp
Lemon: juice from 1 lemon (can use Lime also)
Method:
Simmer the ginger in the water for about 10 minutes on a low flame.
Filter the ginger tea into a cup. Add the honey and the lemon juice.
Mix and sip while still hot.
Hope you feel better soon!!!
