How to make lemon ginger enzyme
The enzyme drink is a healthy drink to have daily. Some of its many benefits are the immune system, aids in digestion, increases metabolism (good for weight loss), reduces inflammation (helps in injury recovery), and increases energy level.
Enzyme drink is also classified as an alkaline drink. Its alkaline properties help balance the pH level in our body by consuming all those acid-forming foods that we consume every day. Examples of acid-forming foods are meats (pork, beef, lamb), dairy products (milk, egg, cheese), and convenience foods (sweets, chocolate, microwaved meals, and fast foods).
Different types of fruit enzymes have their own unique health benefits when consumed. For this article, I will be talking about ginger lemon enzyme. Ginger is used in Chinese medicine. It helps to get rid of flatulence in the body. It can improve blood circulation, decrease stomach cramps, and reduce joint pain. Lemon is good for sore throat and phlegm.
