  1. Ginger sounds like a good addition for my daily tea. If we can increase our chances losing weight with vegetables and citrus food, imagine the chances when we combine it without exercising. Would you still suggest citrus foods 1-2 hours before working out like a treadmill run or zumba? I'm not sure if its true or not but citrus may give you heart burn when the two or close to each other.
