It fights inflammation, nausea, and colds, and can even be brewed into powerful homemade teas. Chef Janine regularly uses ginger in both fresh and pickled form in her ketogenic Asian meals for its vibrant flavor and medicinal properties.

🧄 Get the Maximum Health Benefits From Garlic! This Is How!
Garlic supports heart health, immunity, blood pressure, and more—but only when activated. Crush, mince, or chop it, then let it rest 10–15 minutes to release allicin, its key healing compound. Avoid heating above 140°F to preserve benefits. Raw and cooked garlic both help; supplements are often ineffective due to unstable allicin. Garlic also fights inflammation, infections, and fungi—making it a potent natural remedy.

💥 Can Keto Kill the Migraine?
Ketogenic Therapy for Migraine Relief 🧠⚡Migraines are debilitating, and current treatments often fall short. Emerging studies show ketogenic diets may reduce migraine frequency and intensity by fueling the brain with ketones instead of glucose. 🥑 Clinical trials report 58–83% improvement in symptoms, though results vary. Measuring ketosis, managing side effects, and tailoring the diet type (VLCKD, MAD, or cKDT) are key. More research is needed, but keto shows real promise.
