Are you looking for ways to embrace a little holiday detox? If so, don't forget to incorporate a piece of ginger. Ginger is believed to fire up your body’s natural detoxification work. It also helps your body better absorb nutrients and eliminate waste (cleansing divas believe excess waste = excess weight). Toss a piece of fresh ginger into a stir fry, a great salad dressing and even a delicious smoothie.
