Ginger tea: soothes the tummy, protects the heart
For cramps or nausea, it’s hard to beat a warm, fragrant cup of ginger tea. And research has shown that, while you’re soothing your stomach, you’ll be protecting your heart as well.
A study conducted at Babol University of Medical Sciences in Iran found that ginger was able to significantly reduce LDL cholesterol and raise HDL levels, compared to a placebo.

You can make ginger tea by pouring boiling water over grated ginger and letting it steep for 5-10 minutes or so.
