Ginger is totally delicious and super-healthy. It is a powerful vasodialator and general body tonic. Supposedly very good at preventing infections. Plus it tastes awesome. I love the cool burn it gives. I always add ginger to my smoothies (along w/echinecea and st john's wort) (via GourmetGlam)

Ginger is a vasodilator, meaning it expands the blood vessels and increases body heat and metabolism by 20%. Ground, pickled, candied or fresh, it works in all formats to burn fat. Ginger's vasodilation properties also means that it detoxifies your body as it stimulates circulation. (via Lady Thrills)
