Proper nutrition is fundamental to optimizing your health. By eating repparttar

right foods, you help supply your body with repparttar 142970

proper elements that are needed to ensure superior health. When your body is in optimal health, it is better able to repair parts that are damaged from sickness, injury or disease. However, in our modern-day world "just eating right" may not be sufficient. Modern agriculture has supplied us with an unprecedented abundance of food. Ironically, this abundance and repparttar 142971

underlying agricultural intensification has created a new set of problems; poor soil quality. Furthermore, long-haul transportation and crop-breeding practices are all believed to be contributing to repparttar 142972

drop in vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables.

Additionally, intense processing and sterilization of foods renders many of their healthy nutrients and minerals biologically inactive. For example, while repparttar 142973 pasteurization of milk enables us to kill many pathogens that would make us very sick, it also denatures and even destroys many of repparttar 142974 valuable nutrients that our bodies need to survive. The end result is that we need to replace repparttar 142975 components that have been lost so that we can again, function at optimum levels.

The common ginger root used in cooking has been found to alleviate nausea, indigestion, and motion sickness.

For motion sickness ginger is more effective than repparttar 142973 common Dramamine, says repparttar 142974 British medical journal Lancet. Researchers recommend 1,500 mg. of ginger approximately 30 minutes before travel. An alternative is a 12 oz. glass of ginger ale. Another study found that a 940 mg. dose of ginger was effective if it was consumed 20 to 25 minutes before travel.

Physicians in Europe found that 250 mg. of common ginger stops repparttar 142975 nausea and vomiting of mothers-to-be.

A study with 80 Danish naval cadets unaccustomed to sailing heavy seas found that one gram of ginger reduced vomiting and cold sweating. Fewer symptoms of nausea and vertigo were also reported.

The magic ingredient is gingerol, repparttar 142976 active ingredient in ginger. It works with repparttar 142977 gastrointestinal tract and does not interact with repparttar 142978 nervous system so it has no side effects of toxicity.
