Wonderful Barley & Ginger

Recently I read an email mentioned that benefit of the Barley and Ginger for our health.

A Cancer Killer in the Kitchen - Ginger 
The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented.

The benefit of Ginger:-
1. It's a proven remedy for upset stomach.
2. It inhibits inflammation.
3. It fights cancer.
4. So on, etc...

With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way to get a healthy serving of ginger is to juice it.
Within two or three days a week, you can try to juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, with a big piece of ginger root.
The ginger gives the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick.
I highly recommend that you try it.
