Now that we've learned how to peel ginger with ease, this ginger juice recipe seems less daunting, especially with its powerful health benefits. Prized for its piquant flavor, ginger is a medicinal treat in addition to being a tasty one -- to list just a few of its talents, it treats stomachaches and indigestion, reduces toxicity and aids mild lung disorders.

Kickstart your day -- and immune system -- with a shot of the stuff by passing diced and peeled pieces of the root through a juicer. If deemed too spicy for more sensitive palates, mix the juice with water, other juices or sweeteners like lemon, sugar or agave.

I love Ginger and will happily drink ginger ale and ginger tea (there is also a wonderful (strong) Chinese drink called 'ginger honey crystals' that you can enjoy hot or cold, I always have some in the house). However, fresh ginger is also a stimulant and a fairly strong blood thinner. Too much is not a good thing.

Also, some juicers don't require the ginger to be peeled. Mine, a basic informercial type, can even take the pineapple rine.
