Yesterday I learned that ginger is a diuretic

I'm sure everyone knows ginger is good for you, but don't know exactly how it's good for your body. Personally I didn't know either but I just saw some ginger hanging out in our fridge and decided to make honey + lemon + ginger tea.

And I've been peeing all day. At the beginning of the day I thought it might be the coffee making me use the bathroom so much, however finally by the latter part of the day I realized the culprit may be ginger.
It is. Ginger is a diuretic.
I've also learned some more key reasons to continue to use ginger and I'm loving all of them!

• Fights cancer, specifically ovarian cancer. And the American Cancer Society promotes ginger as a cancer treatment 'to keep tumors from developing.'
• Helps with irritable bowel syndrome - calming effect on our digestive system. I definitely need these for presentation days..
• Slows down loss of brains cells (typically seen leading to Alzheimer's)
• Relieves/recovers muscles (useful for strength training)
• Manages glucose levels which have direct impact on energy level throughout the day.
• Helps stay focused and on task
• Improves circulation (this is actually the reason why my mom said I should make ginger tea)
• And the best!: Ginger acts as fat burner. Makes sure weight lost is not just water loss
• ginger promotes the production of bile - aids digestion of lipids/fat in small intestine
• bile helps digest and removes excess cholesterol and toxin from the body
• liver produces bile from cholesterol and bilirubin. Promoting production and flow of bile keeps cholesterol levels down

Actually the ones I have listed above are just a handful of benefits I've read about. So there are more advantages of ginger, but these are the ones that are most relevant to me currently.
