What are the health advantages of drinking ginger tea on a regular basis?

Ginger's use isn't limited to food preparation; it also has a long history of therapeutic advantages when consumed regularly.

The ginger root is also referred to as the rhizome. It's a tangled root with light brown skin and slightly yellow, juicy flesh on the inside. Ginger root can be found anywhere that sells vegetables and fresh produce, including the fresh section of most supermarkets. 

Since the ginger root is abundant and sells for less at the flea market, I purchased more than 3 kilograms of ginger root for only Php200/USD4, as well as a bundle of lemongrass for Php45/$1. 

I'll boil the two together to make ginger and lemongrass tea, and this amount will last us several weeks.

How do you like your ginger tea? 

I prefer it to boil without the addition of lemon or honey. I also enjoy the pungent flavor of ginger, which I prepare by peeling the skin slightly and slicing it very thinly. Cook for a few minutes (3-5minutes), or until the ginger is aromatic and cooked. This is how I make my ginger tea. 

Health claims of taking ginger as food or tea. 

Ginger tea has been used for years to 

• increase circulation and blood flow 
• relieve stomach cramps 
• relieve gas 
• heartburn 
• improve digestion and other digestive disorders
• treat the discomfort of nausea. 
• It can also lessen menstrual cramps and has been proved to 
• help manage blood sugar. 
• Drinking ginger tea after meals will assist the digestive juices to flow more freely, allowing you to avoid the concerns mentioned above.
• It also aids in weight loss and the prevention of osteoarthritis.

Ginger also helps to lower harmful cholesterol levels by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body. This, in turn, is beneficial to the heart because it helps to keep blood vessels free of cholesterol, lowering blood pressure and preventing atherosclerosis, both of which are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke. 

And, with the current health crisis, we are experiencing as a result of the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus, reduces our risk of infection, which coincides with the global flu season. 

Ginger tea can also help to relieve cold symptoms by acting as an organic antihistamine, reducing chest and nasal congestion, which causes difficulty breathing. It can also help you sweat out the bacteria and other toxins that caused your runny nose.

Ginger is high in antioxidants, which protect your body's DNA from strain and degradation. 

It is now time to utilize our natural cures, which are both effective and inexpensive.

Walang Duda, Panalo ka sa Silka 20th Year Anniversary Promo Win + UPDATE!

Update:

The prize has been claimed! Here's a video of me accepting my reward from Cosmetique Asia Corporation. Because of travel restrictions caused by an increase in Covid cases, the Silka staff decided to bring my reward here in my location. 

Thank you so much, Silka, and more power to you! 

Participating in raffles and online contests is not new to me; I've been trying my luck for about a decade now, and throughout that time I've won many prizes (not bragging), and I've even been surprised by my winnings. I even blogged about some of them in a previous post, shared them on my social media accounts, and collated and created an album on my most often viewed social media page so I could look back and remember all of the prizes I'd won. There have been occasions when I have been disappointed because I did not win a raffle or a contest, but over the years of joining, I have learned to accept and just join, because, as they say, "If it's meant to be, it will be." 

The ones who surprised me the most and the least surprised me the least are the ones that got me to win.

Walang Duda, ₱analo ka sa Silka 20th Year Anniversary Promo!

November 2020, when I decided to join in the Silka- Walang Duda, ₱analo ka sa Silka 20th Year Anniversary Promo! Because I am a regular user of this product, I invested a small sum to purchase a little more than usual. Last November 7, I purchased ten (10) specially marked cartons of Silka Whitening Herbal Soap Green Papaya at Puregold for Php42 per soap/carton a total of Php420.00. I usually buy the orange variety, but since there were none available, I went with the green one. I'm not interested in having my skin whitened by using this brand of soap, but I do like how my skin feels after using it. Every time I use it, my skin feels revitalized. 

The promotion began in August 2020, and I had two months left when I signed up. I never brought more than the amount of merchandise and entries I had intended to buy. I did participate in two other Facebook promotions at the same time as the Silka promotion. So I made my purchases based on the amount of money I had set aside for promotions and contests that month. 

Silka- Walang Duda, ₱analo ka sa Silka 20th Anniversary Promo prizes vary from Shopee and Lazada gift vouchers, cellphone load, smartphones, laptop, cash prizes for the monthly draws, and the 1Million cash prize for the grand draw.

December 14, a day after my birthday, I received a message on Facebook from the Silka page, asking for one specific carton with the corresponding code. I immediately looked for my stack of cartons for the code and immediately responded to the message with the other required identification. Although the message did not state that I won anything, they were just verifying a certain code that I have in my possession. But, I was so nervous because that day was the grand raffle draw of prizes and the grand prize amount is 1Million pesos! There was I, nervous, hopeful, and excited, haha! 

After I submitted all of the needed information, they simply instructed me to keep the pack and that if I won, I would need to produce and surrender the box with the code for them to verify it, and that I would have to wait until January 12, 2022, which is about a month away. This was the time that my patience was tested and with high hopes that I might be the lucky winner of the grand prize hahaha!  

Jan 12, 2022, around past 5 pm, they started to post winners and there was my name. I was one of the winners from the 4th Monthly draw of Php50,000! 

I am now Phph50,000 richer, (though I was ready to scream for the 1M hahaha!).

Although I did not win the grand prize, I am grateful for this prize! Due to travel constraints on the location where the Silka team originally scheduled the reward for release, I have yet to receive the cash prize as of this writing. However, they provided me with a contact person with whom I communicated to meet to claim the said prize. 

I will update this blog post once I receive the money. 👍 Time to look for other contest and promo raffle to join! 😉

Four Simple Steps to a Debt-Free Life in 2022

 

In general, debt is a part of life, and it becomes required in such a way that many of us find ourselves in debt daily. The challenge of repaying these obligations may appear to be difficult. 

Are you one of the people who is struggling to manage your finances because of overwhelming debt? This burden is only temporary; you simply need to find ways to get rid of it and enjoy life without it.

It may be difficult to accept that people may live debt-free lives. Years ago, I couldn't believe it, but I did it, and I've been debt-free for several years! There is no secret to this; I simply did things differently in life and accepted whatever financial situation I found myself in; in other words, live on what you have!

We are also aware of the current economic condition caused by the pandemic; the world has been significantly impacted by the financial crisis, which has increased individual debt situations around the world.

Here are some suggestions for how to handle your funds in a financial meltdown:

Create Specific Goals.

Identifying one specific objective as the beginning of a debt-free existence. One step at a time, as they say; is the goal you must achieve without being overwhelmed or stressed while pursuing it.

Be practical and only get what you require!

Always consider the practical side of things, whether it's food, a device, or a hobby. You don't have to buy the stuff you won't consume or that will spoil quickly. Stock up on what you'll need. Before you go to the grocery, make a list of the products you'll need for yourself and your family. In this instance, you'll be less likely to end up with products on the shelf that you don't require. Instead of ordering takeaway, prepare meals at home. Purchase the same thing from a different brand that is significantly less expensive. Coffee that costs more than a bag of coffee beans should not be purchased in a coffee shop. You are not required to update your smartphone once a year or when a new series is released. The value of a gadget depreciates dramatically daily and is not regarded as a good investment.

Investment can provide you with an additional source of financial income, as well as a better life when you reach retirement age, and can help you break free from debt.

What is a good investment? 

A good investment will result in a high likelihood of success. There should be very little danger of losing the entire amount invested with a successful investment. For a long period, good investment ideas will hold or improve in value. An investment's level of risk should also be modest.

One of the easiest and attainable investments you can start this 2022 is deposit money as a savings account with high-interest rates. Nowadays, there are so many financial institutions that offer such, you just need to find out what fits your budget. If you have extra money place it right away in a reputable savings-investment program, don't think twice! Aside from a savings account, there are other best investment ideas you can use, for sure there is one for you. 

Make sure you have a reserve fund set up in case of an emergency.

The amount you put aside for an emergency fund will be determined by your lifestyle, monthly costs of living, and income. The general rule is to put away three to six months' worth of expenditures. 

Emergency funds are utilized for a variety of reasons, the most common of which is hospitalization and other medical-related costs. This is not a one-time investment; instead, you must set away the desired amount regularly.

Finally, being debt-free does not imply that you have to give up all you enjoy in life. It means you'll have to begin to save, limit your spending, and work hard to achieve the objectives you've set. By adopting this mindset, you will be able to obtain almost whatever you require without having to take out a loan.
