A member asked:
Is drinking ginger everyday and 2 teaspoons of turmeric daily bad for a diabetic patient(type 2)? thanks

No: But it is not likely to be doing any good either. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine,

No: No- as long as you are not putting a lot of sugar in it!
