@sunnyyk55 not necessarily , Coffee with sugar is actually somewhat better, sugar provides the "fuel" for the engine that the caffeine has just revved up. It prevents the stress response
just dont drink coffee in empty stomah
Ginger can help with arthritis, muscular pain, and discomfort. The full benefits may take weeks or months to appear. 2 grams of ginger powder helps some people significantly.
Ginger's anti-inflammatory effects on rheumatic disorders have been known for thousands of years.
Some of its most interesting effects are on fatty acid metabolism. It inhibits the conversion of the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid, into some of the most common anti-inflammatory molecules. Many anti-inflammatory drugs work on the same pathways but with a greater risk of side effects.
A paper published in Denmark reported on 56 patients who used ginger to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscular discomfort.
3/4 of the arthritis patients had significant improvement in pain and swelling, and all patients with muscular discomfort reported improvement. Nobody reported adverse effects.
Rheumatoid arthritis
“At the age of 50 he was afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis... The patient took ginger in an amount of 50 gram raw/fresh daily in the first month after the diagnosis. Ginger was taken through lightly cooked vegetable and meat dishes. Relief in pain and swelling was evident after 1 month of ginger intake. The patient was completely free of pain and swelling after 3 months of ginger consumption. He is active in his job as an automechanic, and 13-14 years have passed without relapse of symptoms.”
Osteoarthritis
“A woman of 69 years suffered from back pain since she was 17 years of age ... later developed osteoarthritis... The patient was given antiarthritis drugs of various types. The drugs produced side-effects, especially stomach irritation on prolonged use. She started laking powdered ginger since mid April 1991... After four months on ginger she noticed relief in symptoms. Swelling in the right knee disappeared after 2 months. However, swelling persists in the thumb and the first finger. After 6 months on ginger she stopped taking anti-arthritis drugs... (she still took pain medication but it was 1/4 of the prescribed dose) The patient was not able to turn her head to left and look upwards due to osteoarthritic condition of the neck vertebrae, which she can do now with a little care after about 10 years. The patient has been advised to reduce the dose to about 2 gram/day).”
Muscular Disorder:
“His condition was diagnosed to be muscular 'arthritis' '. He was prescribed painkillers which produced gastro-intestinal irritation. The patient's condition became worse; the pain was more intense with the result he had to give up an extra job 3 years later. At times he could not leave bed and abstained from work. On advice of some of his friends he took one teaspoonful powdered ginger a day. He noticed marked reduction in pain after 14 days which disappeared completely in a month. He continued to take ginger in half dose for several months. He no longer takes it.”
Conclusion:
“In the present study an observation describing the ameliorative effect of ginger consumption in arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders is described. It is suggested that bioactive components of ginger may act as dual inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, and may act by inhibiting PGEz and leukotriene B4 synthesis. It may be emphasized that this study presents only a hypothesis and must be verified in a double-blind placebo study.”
The doses used varied widely, but the paper’s suggested dose was 0.5–1.0 g/day, while many patients actually took 1–2 g/day.

@sunnyyk55 the referred bread here is also an oversimplification, theres different type of bread,
a good bread is traditional sourdough (especially rye or wheat) and fermented rye bread
@sunnyyk55 this is usually oversimplification, the "sugar" here they are referring is, im sure are overprocessed packaged foods, yes they have sugar, but they also contain other bad things that are ignored and falsely referred to as "sugary" foods
@sunnyyk55 these one look good, i was worried about the microplastic things from the tea bag, turns out its alright, i recommend to buy loose leaf, but these one are good
