Ginger

[HollandRules]

I just talked to a guy who said that ginger has some protein-digesting enzym in it and that i should add it to my shake. Anyone ever heard of this?
I hate the taste of ginger but maybe if i add a small slice in my shake i wont even taste it. Or is a small slice not enough?
Thanks...

It has anti-inflammatory properties I believe.

One spice frequently touted for its anti-inflammatory properties is capsaicin, which is a naturally occuring ingredient in chilli peppers, as well as rosemary, which has rosmarinic acid and ginger which has vanillin and zingerone.

Ginger has also been historically used to treat inflammation, which several scientific studies support, though one arthritis trial showed ginger to be no better than a placebo or ibuprofen for treatment of osteoarthritis
