It's ginger time! Why is this tiny root so healthy? Check the research

For me, ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the 5 things I would take with me to a deserted island (along with lettuce, mung beans, millet, green tea, dark choclate).

White Soup to Strengthen the Lungs and Immunity – Perfect for A Rainy Weekend
This is a surprising white soup that has become a star in the house! Delicate, comforting and especially delicious, and also supports the immune and respiratory systems, just what is needed when the weather gets cold.
The soup is based on white and healthy root vegetables: parsley root, celery root, kohlrabi, leeks, garlic and also distinct and healthy winter representatives - Jerusalem artichoke and turnip. The latter are rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and minerals that support digestion and balance sugar levels. Yes, Jerusalem artichoke is high on my list for treating diabetes.

As I told you in the post about autumn and how important this season is for Letting Go, this white soup is precisely autumn, related to the lungs and colon, strengthens the body's defense system (Wei Qi) and helps Preventing colds and flu (the news desks are already working overtime to scare us with a particularly violent new flu strain coming from the UK).
The spicy-subtle flavors help open the breath, dry up phlegm and boost energy – just in time for this season 🍂
And alongside the soup, homemade kale chips are easy to make in 5 minutes! Crispy, delicious and perfect for a healthy snack next to the soup or just in front of the rain in the window. For the recipe:

Turnip is a root vegetable rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They contain a high amount of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, along with dietary fiber that contributes to digestive health and balances blood sugar levels. In Chinese medicine, turnips are seen as a "sweet-spicy...

I made a delicious recipe this week (you can use any mushrooms you have) and it turned out insane. 🍄🔥

Mushrooms are available most of the year as they are grown on tree trunks, in a greenhouse or at home. But in nature they usually grow "after the rain". According to Chinese Medicine, mushrooms are a superfood, rich in complex carbohydrates (with medicinal activity), protein and minerals and are exc...
