So whether you sprinkle ground ginger on your morning oats, snack on tasty pieces of sweet dried ginger, or wind down with some calming turmeric gnger glow tea, ginger is a great addition to every day!

Turmeric
Another antioxidant powerhouse! The main active ingredient in turmeric is ‘Curcumin’, which is a very strong antioxidant and has been shown to help improve heart health, arthritis symptoms and also acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory (perfect for allergy sufferers!)
Top tip: It helps to consume a bit of black pepper with turmeric to ensure that the curcumin is adequately absorbed into your system.
