Did you know that ginger juice is among the healthiest things you can put into your body?
Fresh ginger is rightly considered a so‑called superfood that humanity has been consuming for thousands of years …
Its effects are known for relieving pain, improving digestion, and lowering blood pressure.
Ginger can be consumed in juice form or as an ingredient in various dishes, drinks, cocktails, sauces, soups, and baked goods.
An advantage of ginger is that it is relatively inexpensive and can be bought in almost any grocery or fruit and vegetable store.
Once you have it at home, obtaining ginger juice is a fairly simple and quick process.
How to obtain fresh ginger juice
To obtain ginger juice you will need the following items:
- a 2 to 3 cm piece of ginger root
- a peeler or a knife
- a grater
- a sieve and a teaspoon, or gauze
- a bowl
Proceed as follows:
First clean the ginger of its outer skin. You can use a peeler or an ordinary knife for this.
Then grate the ginger on a kitchen grater.
Put the grated ginger into a sieve and use a teaspoon to squeeze the juice into a bowl.
You can also use gauze or a cloth for this purpose, but if you use cloth some of the juice will be absorbed into it.
And that’s it, your fresh ginger juice is ready!
How to consume fresh ginger juice
If you want, you can drink the juice straight, but it will be quite intense. It is therefore better to dilute it in water and then drink that.
Drink fresh ginger juice once a day, every day.
If you want, you can also prepare a larger amount of juice at once, for example using a juicer, and freeze it in an ice cube tray.
But first dilute it with water in a ratio such that one ice cube corresponds approximately to the amount of juice from a 2 to 3 cm long piece (daily dose). Alternatively, pour only the corresponding amount of juice into a single compartment of the ice tray.
Then every day simply take one ice cube, let it melt in a glass of water, which you then drink.
How each sip of ginger juice will begin to change your body:
Ginger has almost miraculous effects on the human body, including digestion, prevention of flu and colds, and reducing pain.

This helps and improves digestion, relieves bloating and flatulence, as well as nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, after surgery, or when traveling by bus or boat.
