HERB OF THE MONTH: GINGER Ginger is the stem of a plant that has been used in natural medicine for thousands of years. Ginger, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, is used to treat several illnesses including digestive disorders. Ginger can be used as a healthy part of a fat burning program to help you lose weight. USAGE: Drink a cup of hot ginger tea
three times a day before every large meal. According to Holistic Online, drinking ginger tea helps to improve and increase digestion. Digestion is an important step in the metabolic process and poor digestion can slow down the body's ability to burn fat. F.Y.I - Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what is considered healthy for his or her height. Children grow at different rates, so it isn't always easy to know when a child is obese or overweight. Ask your doctor to measure your child's height and weight to determine if he or she is in a healthy range. If a weight loss program is necessary, involve the whole family in healthy habits so your child doesn't feel singled out. You can encourage healthy eating by serving more fruits and vegetables and buying fewer sodas and highcalorie, high-fat snack foods. Physical activity can also help your child overcome obesity or being overweight. Kids need about 60 minutes each day. Anyone with problems or health conditions related to any of these herbs or their actions should not use them. Some herbs are known to react with your medication. Please consult your physician or NGE health practitioner before starting on any herb.
