I am trying to lower my cholesterol levels
One of the things I am now consistently using is ginger
But I am using it in powder form adding to my tea and hot water
I see most literature refers to raw ginger
Is powder form ginger still okay. Its the one I can easily work with since I can take it in the office etc Raw ginger is the best but difficult to come by and not convenient to take to office Ginger in powder form is a little processed so it is equally good but about 60% effective. The trick my dear is to stay on the powder but increase the frequency of intake to 2 to 3 times a day. Consistency is more important than the volume you take at a time. I use go ginger powder but garlic supplement(because of the smell) It is always good to make the best use of not so good situation (powder, supplements) The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .

Examine your typical daily food item. Is it skewed towards acidic or alkaline foods. For your best interest, increase intake of alkaline foods and minimize intake of acidic foods.

I commissioned a junior colleague Lazarus (real name) as part of his routine to ensure that he buys banana for me. A small bunch of 6 bananas can last me for 2 to 3 days and a big bunch of 7 to 9 bananas can last me a week of 5 working days. I taught him to buy the bunch that are mixed ie ripe, semi ripe and not ripe to serve this purpose. With this Lazarus buys my "lunch" most often once or twice a week. This I reckon was an easy job for him.

Lazarus humorously called my banana lunch pounded yam food. Pounded yam is a heavy carbohydrate delicacy in my native Nigeria for the middle class and affluent.

Recent studies indicate that banana is vulnerable to adulteration. Greedy farmers do apply chemicals to enable banana gets ripe quick at the detriment to health The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .
