Ginger Tea Recipe: If you don`t have a juicer or you want something hot, choose this tasteful fresh Ginger tea instead.

wedge of fresh lemon in the mug. You can place both in a tea
infuser to strain the tea if you like. Pour boiling water into the cup
and let the lemon and ginger mix with the water for 5 minutes
before serving.
3. Add honey to taste if drinking for enjoyment. Skip the honey (or use
very little) if you are drinking it as a cleansing tea.

Important Health Information

The body might react to dietary changes. It is usually harmless and is an indication that your body is responding to the change in diet. Possible reactions during the transition might include: nausea, dizziness, fatigue, poor memory, headaches, irritability, itchiness, pimples, etc. This transitory phase usually lasts between 1 to 3 weeks. An alternative might be to gradually decrease your intake of carbohydrates if you want to avoid side effects. This might be a good idea if you are above the age of 40, as the body needs more time to adapt to change as one gets older. If you are in doubt as to whether the change in diet is beneficial for your health after a month and a half, you ought to consult a doctor. Please be aware that side effects might be due to the transition to a new diet, and not necessarily due to the diet itself. It should be said that I have yet to encounter this issue, but it is good practice to inform of possible outcomes should the desired results fail to manifest.
