Ginger Weight Loss Benefits and How to Grow Ginger!

Most people know I love to garden and eat healthy foods.  Last week a friend of mine inspired me to eat more raw ginger.  I use a lot of ground up ginger in my recipes, but not a lot of raw ginger. I love organic gardening, so I decided to grow it inside my house in a simple house pot. 
Ginger is so healthy for you!  In fact it's health benefits are quite similar to garlic's properties of being natural antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.

     Ginger was so popular among the Europeans that in 1884, Great Britain imported over 5 million pounds of the root.  The Spaniards introduced it to the Americas in the early part of the 16th century.
     Ginger has been proven to help prevent strokes and hardening of the arteries
and is much safer and more effective than that of aspirin which has serious side effects such as causing stomach and intestinal ulcers which often hemorrhage causing death. 
     The next time you have a fever, slice some ginger and suck on it, or blend it in a smoothie and see if that helps lower your fever naturally.  Ginger is also effective against colds, bronchitis and the flu. 
In China, ginger is used in the first stages of treating the common cold.

5 Easy Steps for Growing Ginger as a House Plant!

Growing ginger is fun, easy and rewarding.  All you need is a pot or a bucket and some good soil.  Make sure the pot is about 12" wide and 8"-12" deep. 

1.  Fill the bottom of the pot with 1 inch of small rocks or pebbles. 

2. Cover the rocks
with equal parts of organic soil and organic potting soil. 

3. Place a small ginger root from the grocery store in the dirt and cover with a 1/2"-1" of soil. 

4.  Water it and keep it in a sunny location.  They love humidity and moisture, but don't like to we waterlogged, so make sure you don't over water. 

5.  If you bring your pot outdoors, make sure to bring them in at nights when the temperatures get below 59 degrees F.
