Get your GINGER on!







I am in LOVE with organic ginger root! I use it on everything! When in doubt,add ginger! it goes into my smoothies, salads, quinoa dishes etc...I am always so bummed when they are out of the organic root at my grocery store! Even though I new the benefits already, or at least I thought I did, seeing the rockin' top 20 list has got me even more excited. Thanks to healthsummaries.com! Save on expensive, fancy supplements & use therapeutic doses of ginger!



1. Highly valued as a spice, ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been used medicinally for thousands of years by Chinese physicians. Ginger acts as an antioxidant and has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting and pain-killing properties. It also improves liver function and lowers cholesterol as well as having beneficial effects on the heart. Ginger has anti-ulcer activity and improves the function of the muscles in the gut while helping to relieve spasm. Ginger is also valued for its warming properties.
- Nicola Reavley, The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs
2. Ginger helps the body to sweat, so toxins are drawn to the skin's surface. To prepare the ginger bath, place half-inch slices of fresh ginger in boiling water over a stove; turn off the heat, and steep for thirty minutes. Remove the ginger, and add that water into a tub already filled with hot water.
- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps
3. Try some ginger ale — ginger is a known stomach soother. It's best to drink flat ginger ale at room temperature (cold beverages will irritate an upset stomach). Take tiny sips, especially if you have already vomited. If you can keep that down, sip a bit more. If you're out of ginger ale, you can try making a cup of ginger tea (with grated gingerroot). Some people even find relief by nibbling on a gingersnap.
- Carol Turkington, The Hypericum Handbook: Nature's Antidepressant
4. Ginger juice produces better recovery from symptoms of nausea than ondansetron, a commonly prescribed drug during chemotherapy.
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism
5. Ginger has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors in the colon in animal studies.
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism
6. Ginger root extract (gingerols) inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori in the digestive tract, which is a bacterium linked to stomach cancer.
- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism
7. Ginger stimulates blood circulation. These effects make it useful in treating a number of disorders marked by swelling and pain, such as arthritis. A three-year study of fifty-six people with rheumatoid arthritis found that about 75 percent of the subjects achieved relief from pain and swelling by taking powdered ginger.
- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies
8. If you take ginger for medicinal purposes, the powder form is the best because of its high concentration of nutrients. Take 4 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of powder divided in two to four doses over the course of the day. Ginger tea is a good herbal tonic for influenza because of its soothing qualities and its antiviral abilities. To make fresh ginger tea, cut a one-inch slice of fresh ginger-root into small slivers. Place the ginger in a pot and simmer at a near boil for about 15 minutes, then strain into a cup. Add a little honey to taste.
- Bradley J. Willcox, D. Craig Willcox, and Makoto Suzuki, The Okinawa Program: How the World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health
9. For centuries, ginger has been prescribed by Ayurvedic and Indian healers to treat the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Ginger contains natural anti-inflammatory agents called gingeroles. Fresh ginger, however, also contains compounds called shogaoles, which can cause stomach irritation in some people.
- Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., Earl Mindell's Supplement Bible: A Comprehensive Guide to Hundreds of NEW Natural Products that Will Help You Live Longer, Look Better, Stay Heathier, ... and Much More!
10. Ginger tea aids digestion and soothes heartburn, and powdered ginger capsules, tea, or candy control motion sickness and nausea without causing drowsiness. Fresh ginger root relieves the sting of minor burns and can prevent and fight heartburn by absorbing stomach acid. A ginger compress can soothe carpel tunnel syndrome.
- Barrie R Cassileth, Ph.D., The Alternative Medicine Handbook: The Complete Reference Guide to Alternative and Complementary Therapies
11. Ginger supplementation helped to modulate immune activity in a beneficial direction, suggesting usefulness in control of chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Another study of ginger found that the herb could help control the risk factors involved in "syndrome X," which combine to greatly increase risk of type 2 diabetes — a condition that creates severe inflammation throughout the body because of the pro-inflammatory effects of high blood sugar and high insulin levels.
- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer
12. A double-blind study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association compared the effects of ginger and Dramamine, a common over-the-counter motion sickness drug, and found that ginger was actually more effective. In addition, ginger had none of the side effects — such as drowsiness — of the commercial drug. Ginger is an even more effective anticoagulant than garlic or onions; gin-gerol, one of its compounds, has a structure very much like that of aspirin, which also thins the blood. Ginger is a folk remedy for menstrual cramps.
- Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy Living
13. Ginger is an inexpensive, effective, and nearly universally available remedy for inflammation and pain. It is used to treat cramping that accompanies constipation and to relieve peptic ulcers. In China, ginger has been put to the novel use of helping to turn breech babies by giving the mother ginger teas before delivery.
- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies
14. To test the ability of ginger to reduce inflammation, a preliminary clinical study was conducted on seven patients with rheumatoid arthritis in whom conventional drugs had provided only temporary or partial relief. One patient took 50 grams per day of lightly cooked ginger, while the remaining six took either 5 grams of fresh ginger or 0.1 to 1 gram of powdered ginger daily. All patients reported substantial improvement, including pain relief, increased joint mobility, and decreased swelling and morning stiffness.
- Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods
15. Ginger has a long tradition of being very useful in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, including the nausea and vomiting typical of pregnancy. Although the mechanism of action has yet to be elucidated, current thought is that this is due more to ginger’s effects on the gastrointestinal tract than to any effects on the brain.  Ginger’s anti-vomiting action has been studied in the most severe form of pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting, known as hyperemesis gravidum.
- Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition
16. Ginger also can settle stomach upset caused by food allergies. Ginger inhibits the production of immune-system components called cytokines, chemicals that create a long-term tendency toward inflammation.
- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies
17. In Japan, ginger's anti-parasitic effect is put to use in the preparation of sushi, which is traditionally eaten with pickled ginger. In the laboratory, ginger extracts have been shown to kill the anisakid worm, a parasite sometimes carried in raw fish, within sixteen hours, about the length of time the parasite would have to establish itself in the digestive tract after consumption of contaminated fish.
- Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies
18. Fresh ginger is used to help break down high-protein foods such as meats and beans and lessen the effect of uric acids in the body from eating these foods. Dried ginger feeds the properties of foods and herbs to the lower extremities — the colon, kidneys, ovaries, sexual organs, and legs; it also treats motion sickness, and is most convenient in the form of capsules or a tincture for this purpose. Ginger should not be used when signs of heat are present.
- Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition
19. Ginger and cayenne are good remedies for exterior conditions such as the common cold.
- Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition
20. Ginger tea is useful as a supplement in treating schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease increasingly prevalent among tourists returning to the United States

This workshop is perfect for you if:
-You are open to new things, ideas, flavors etc.

If you are very regimented with the way you eat now and "already" have an idea of what you think is good for you
if you are overly obsessed with calories, fat grams etc... ( a little obsessing is ok, but if its how you rule your world, probably not going to be into my class/philosophies)
-if you are easily offended by some f-bombs dropped once in a while or the use of words like friggin, sh*t,crap etc... 

Do know that I LOVE working with people, connecting and sharing foods & ideas. I've got a unique style & approach, usually say things wildly over the top yet usually true etc...all in which makes it way more fun!

Dreamy, Creamy Vitality-NEW smoothie recipe!

I've been blending away the last few weeks and I think I have nailed it!
the perfect recipe using Samis Superfoods Vitality mix.
I am just in LOVE with it right now.
I think you will too!

I've had a few clients over to taste test and the
response was:
"DELISH" 
"FABULOUS"
"I'm so excited to have a new smoothie"
"How could someone not buy this when they taste this smoothie"(gotta love this girl!!)

Here's the deal-(sounds like its a lot to do below but its super easy once you get everything lined up)
NOTE:I'm given you the super specific instructions!

-2 cups Fresh Almond Mylk( yes, I know its a drag but it sooooooooo good for you)
NOTE-If you're not sure how to do it, it goes like this,
1 cup raw almonds ( soaked overnight ) in 3 cups water, blend on high, strain with nut bag or cheese cloth
Investing in a good nut bag will make it much easier , the one I use is from VIVAPURA, check it out here.
I make large batches of the fresh mylk at a time so I have a few days worth
If you'd like to "cheat", I mean, make it easier but not as nutritious on yourself use:
2 cups rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk, So Delicious coconut milk or any of the other store bought brands, remember these are pasteurized so they have very little nutritional value.

-2 cup water or fresh coconut water from the inside of a thai coconut
(again, not the store bought coconut water)

-1/2 cup chia seed gel
 (ok, here's how this baby works, take 1 cup chia place in 4 cups purified water, let soak in glass jar overnight, it will turn into a gel like substance, store this gel in fridge and use scoops of the end product daily in all types of smoothies, puddings, etc....) This process of soaking really makes a difference in how effective the chia works.  It makes it a hella' lot more bio-available, does not bloat the belly, and blends easier making drinks more "creamy"
NOTE- if you don't know, chias amazing for Omega 3, calcium, antioxidants, fiber and is like a natural colon cleanser... so perfect for daily cleaning, no need to go on a "detox" just "BE"cleansing your system daily by using chia=:)

-3 Heaping TB of vitality from Sami's Superfoods

-1/2 frozen banana(yes, take the peels off b/f freezing) or 1/3 bag of you fave frozen/fresh berries

-2 TB of UDOS 3-6-9 oil( by FLORA @ whole foods) or 2 TB coconut oil(my fave is Vivapura)
You also can use one of each as they work more effective together in terms of effectiveness of the Omegas
GOOD RAW FATS are the KEY to health, vitality, longevity & yes, weight loss!
They need to be super high quality, unrefined, & plant based-preferably in glass in a dark bottle.
More info on good fats coming soon but just as a little teaser....
I'm sure you are hearing how "good" fish oils are, right, well, get this 2 TB of UDOS is equivalent to 17 fish oil caps!
thats some super good dose of omegas gettin' in plus its pure!

-Heaping scoop of cinnamon- to taste
I like to load up as it is sooooo good for you!
Real cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar levels and balance the natural sugars that are in your drink plus it is a super dose of naturally-occurring antioxidants
( be sure to buy ORGANIC cinnamon as commercial spices are laden with yucky stuff!)

Place all in a blender and whip till creamy and dreamy!

Couple options-
-if you desire it a tad more sweet place a couple drops of vanilla creme stevia
-if you feel it needs a little bit more of a "punch" add a pinch of a platinum salt like sun fire salt
-if you'd like it more creamy, add a few TB of tocotrienols( raw vitamin E powder)
-if you need it more nutrient dense, feel free to add in green powder, spirilina, hemp seeds, a handful of gojis any other singe superfoods to create your own designer smoothie!

The above is just a foundation and you can add, edit, delete, play around with the create one that's perfect for you!

Let me know when you've tried it or created your own rendition. Leave a comment below. Would love to hear what you are doing at home!

P.S.If you need Sami's or you need more of it, its on SALE through Aug 31st. 10% off the retail of $45.
You can call or email me( lisa@lisapersico.com) to place an order.

P.P.S.I will be at the Andersonville Galleria doing a tasting with this recipe above if you'd like to come check it out.  Clark/ Foster August 6th 5pm-8pm

Very Exciting NEWS!
My products are now available at the Andersonville Galleria!

One of my incredible colleagues and clients was so inspired by health & wellness in relationship to natural beauty from my lifestyle workshop a few years ago, she created "if a goddess wore make-up"! Long-time make-up artist for weddings and special events for over 20 years, Sheila Hansen switched her focus to natural, green, and healthier options for both skin/body care & make-up! 

After a year of success at the Galleria with the the 'goddess" boutique, she came up with a  brilliant idea to place some of my elite products in her space that focus on inner beauty and compliment what she's doing! 

Alas, a lightbulb went off  for me and it was a synergy meant to happen. All this time, I have been talking about vitamin C, MSM, silica, antioxidants, mineralization, greens, superfoods and how all this affects your health, cleansing & your body but plays a major role in both your beauty and longevity! 

So we've teamed up and now I have a home for some of my amazing picks that enhance your flow and your glow from the inside out!  

Please welcome, Lisa Persico's INNER beauty boutique.

To check out the new space and some of my new featured products, I'll be doing a tasting on July 1st from 5pm to 7pm at the Andersonville Galleria( see invite above for more info)! Some of you have heard through the grapevine that I am carrying the NEW vitality( a new version of bliss). I am pleased to announce it is in and will be sampled on thursday!
