Today we are highlighting a festive ingredient, ginger and our Sales & Operations Manager, women’s health, and emotional wellbeing expert, Judith is sharing some of her wellbeing tips. 

How do you support your immune system in the winter?

By including raw garlic, ginger and turmeric in my diet, along with key supplements like vitamin d and zinc.

I also make sure I get enough sleep, exercise and laugh! Laughing decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells :)

How do you use Ginger? 

I love Ginger in tea, especially with some added honey, Manuka honey is a great addition if you have a sore throat.

What’s your favourite Anatomē tea blend? 

Ahh definitely Detox + Immune Support, it has Elderberry to support your immune system, with Ginger + lemon, plus it tastes great, even cold!

What’s your go-to winter recipe? 

That's a hard one, but my signature winter dish is a great beef stew. Slow-cooked for hours, with great red wine and lots of vegetables. The secret is a great stock.
