Nourishment Notes

Ginger

Ginger is a great spice to use in recipes not only for it’s flavor, but it also may help reduce inflammation and minimize stomach pain or nausea.

Carrots

Carrots contain vitamin A, potassium, and vitamin K. Vitamin A is important in strengthening the immune system & building healthy cells, potassium is a key nutrient that can be low as a result of a flare, and vitamin K is vital to blood and bone health.

Chicken Broth

Chicken broth adds vitamins and minerals to the dish, and can help maintain hydration levels during periods of flare-ups.

Sweet Potatoes

Peeled and cooked sweet potatoes provide your body with potassium, an electrolyte, that can be low as a result of a flare.

Remission Remix

  • Omit Garlic Powder

    In step one, omit the garlic powder and replace with a diced white onion. Sauté the onion in the olive oil until slightly golden in color. Add the ginger and cook until fragrant.
