What's so healthy about Ginger Ale?!
Question: When I was a kid, I would drink Ginger Ale when I was sick. Why? I never really thought about it until when I was feeling alittle sick this week and bought some bottles of it.
LOL

Actual ginger has properties that help settle the stomach. I don't really know what they are
BUT
Ginger ale today that you can buy in any supermarket doesn't actually contain ginger, it's just flavored soda water like coke or sprite or orange soda, so it's actually not any more helpful than any of those.
And yeah, you're right, I meant stuff you can get anywhere like Schwepps or Canada Dry. Organic and Natural ginger ale is different, but not what most people drink, so I wasn't including that.
Actually--the organic/natural section of the supermarket typically has ginger ale that DOES contain ginger. Good point, though!
a lot of cultures use ginger for a few different purposes. Good for the stomach of course.
Nothing like some grated fresh ginger tea to get your stomach settled down. You can buy ginger root at your local health food or whole foods market.
If you have a cold or flu symptoms though you have to go for the old fashioned Chicken soup remedy.
I used to use 7-Up when having an upset stomach.. but, after coming home from a hospital stay I tried Ginger Ale and it did a much better job.
