A ginger shot is a concentrated immunity-boosting drink that has been breaking popularity records for years. No wonder — who wouldn’t want to support their body in such a simple and natural way? One of its biggest advantages is that you can prepare a batch for the entire week at once, and you only need a few ingredients: oranges, lemon, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper.
Why is it worth drinking ginger shots?
Ginger: a treasure trove of valuable compounds, including anti-inflammatory gingerols (responsible for the spicy flavor) and essential oils that have antibacterial and antiviral effects.
Curcumin:its main active compound is curcumin. It is a powerful polyphenol that supports the immune system and helps neutralize inflammation in the body.
Black pepper:the piperine it contains is essential in this combination. It significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin, allowing the body to fully benefit from its potential.
Lemon and oranges:they provide vitamin C and flavonoids. They are also a source of potassium, antioxidants, and B vitamins, which protect against oxidative stress and support overall health.
Ginger shot – how often can you drink it?
A small ginger shot after breakfast or during the day after a meal is a great way to boost your energy. However, remember that it’s a concentrated dose of active compounds, so moderation is key. If you have a sensitive stomach, it’s best to start with half a serving and observe how your body reacts.
What should you keep in mind? Although ginger is very healthy, people dealing with ulcers, acid reflux, or taking medications (e.g., blood thinners) should consult a doctor before trying such homemade remedies. Remember that every body is different, and what works for some may require caution for others.
