Ginger and lemons are some of the most important tools God gave us from His garden to help our bodies heal and thrive.

Ginger’s antispasmodic properties come from its more than 60 trace minerals, well over 30 amino acids and more than 500 enzymes and coenzymes all working together. It’s so amazing!!

Lemons are ultra hydrating and electrolyte-producing and are considered a top source of mineral salts and trace mineral salts. They are loaded with vitamin C and creates alkalinity in the body to help prevent the growth of any kind of cancer. Lemons are also amazing cleansers to the liver, which is why we include it in our natural cleansing plan.

Begin your day with this drink to help flush out the toxins in the liver, our main fat- burning organ as well as give your body the hydration it needs to begin your day.

Drink as an afternoon pick-me-up or sip throughout the day!

Lemon Ginger Water

• 1-2 inches fresh ginger
• 2 Cups water
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• Stevia, to taste

Peel and grate the ginger. Add to the water and let it steep for at least 15 minutes. (I like to do longer, and often refrigerate them in the water overnight.)

Here are a few ideas on how to prepare your ginger:

• Put your ginger in a garlic press – it’s like a little mini juicer.
• Thinly slice ginger and add to a pot of boiling water. Turn off heat and let it steep for at least one hour, overnight, if possible. Strain to remove ginger chunks and put any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. (I use a Mason jar.)

Spinach is one of the easiest and the healthiest foods you can consume on a regular basis. We’ve said it before, but it may be worth repeating – the more dark green leafy vegetables you consume, the healthier you’ll be and the more weight you will lose.

Spinach is is loaded with nutritious vitamins and minerals, including folate, iron and lutein. Spinach also contains healthy doses of phytonutrients, natural chemicals which have anti-inflammatory properties that help ward off diseases and germs, making it a great choice for your immune system. Raw spinach is also rich in potassium and vitamin C, which again are natural immunity boosters. Add it to your next smoothie!

One serving of spinach contains (30g) roughly about Vitamins A, B, C and K, very few calories, calcium, iron and beta carotenoids.

Sautéed Garlic Spinach

The Lemongrass plant is often used in foods and beverages and has amazing benefits. I had some room in my garden this year, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have yet to make a wonderful Asian dish with the plant, but I have made delicious tea.

Lemongrass is an abundant source of vitamins including A and C, folate, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and manganese; with minute traces of the B vitamins.

Cleanse your body and lose weight with Lemongrass

The anti-oxidant, anti-septic, and diuretic effects of lemongrass make it an important ingredient of any detox diet. It will help cleanse and purify the liver, kidneys, bladder, pancreas, and increases blood circulation.

Lemongrass contains polyphenols that have been known to increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Can I get an amen? It is also a great morning detox tea, because it destroys bad bacteria and parasites, and also repopulates the good bacteria in the colon. It also kickstarts your metabolism and why I usually drink it in the morning. I often mix it with my green tea leaves. Lemongrass tea is a natural diuretic, and drinking enough of it can help you drop some water weight. Sipping it during the day can also stop you from overeating.

Make your own (see below) or buy your lemongrass tea in leaves or bags.
