Gingerly Nutrition

Hey, Portland friends! Interested in learning more about holistic nutrition and how you can use a seasonal approach to following an anti-inflammatory diet? Join us on December 5th as we discuss this and talk about strategies for a healthy holiday season. Hosted by our friends at Elemental Fitness Lab.

Attention Portland! We’ll be at the first ever VegOut! Vegan Food & Beer Festival this Saturday and Sunday at Holladay Park! Come find us serving Cosmic Tea, Coconut Lime Truffles, and slinging samples of Curried Cauliflower Bites all weekend. We can’t wait to see you there!

Such a happy crew in the kitchen today! We had a record-breaking week and knocked out the most Gingerly meals we’ve ever made, and we’re feeling stoked about it! We sure missed today though, can’t wait to have the full team back together next week! ❤️

We’re so excited to announce that we are now offering our Gingerly meals at the National University of Natural Medicine school store! Students, staff, faculty and guests, you now have a grab-and-go, ready to heat (or eat cold!) option on campus that’s fully plant-based and free from gluten, dairy, soy, refined sugar, eggs, nightshades, and vinegars, and follows an anti-inflammatory diet approach. We all know the importance of eating more anti-inflammatory foods, but with a hectic school/work schedule it isn’t always easy to prepare these at home. Fear not! Our meals will be in stock every week, patiently waiting for you to pick them up!

We’re loving the contrast of vibrant and pastel spring colors in this dish that we made in the Gingerly Nutrition kitchen this week. A filet of wild-caught cod served on a carrot, orange purée, served with steamed Japanese yam, roasted radish, and sautéed bok choy, with scallions and black sesame seeds on top.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a crucial component to a healthy diet, and should be consumed often for optimal bodily function. They’re involved in making and regulating hormones within the body, facilitating the contraction and relaxation of artery walls which regulates inflammation, and they play an important role in brain function. Because of the role Omega-3s play in reducing inflammation, they may help lower the risk of many common chronic conditions like high cholesterol and blood pressure, heart disease, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, arthritis, neurological conditions, and even many forms of cancer. The Mediterranean Diet is one that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, and is one of the most widely studied diets in the prevention and treatment of these conditions. That’s why we draw from this diet (and lifestyle!) in our meals and treatment plans with our clients so they can live their best life.
