Fitness buff Vidya Malavade recommends lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and ginger tea to improve digestion. Lemon juice might improve enzyme production and regulate stomach acid. Apple cider vinegar with its acetic acid may enhance enzyme activity and increase stomach acid production. Ginger tea's gingerol and zingerone may reduce inflammation, promote digestion, and reduce bloating. However, a consultant gastroenterologist advises consulting a doctor before using apple cider vinegar regularly and emphasizes that individual responses may vary. Ultimately, good digestion habits like eating slowly and staying hydrated are key.
A mixture of ginger juice, lemon juice and honey can be a home remedy for sore throats. Honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, lemon juice boosts immunity and ginger has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This mixture is better than over-the-counter options because it has a higher concentration of active substances. However, it shouldn't be given to children under one and consult a doctor if symptoms are severe.
If you're not crazy about gin but still want to sip on a French 75, swap out the gin for Cognac and enjoy a more refined (and French) version of the cocktail!
