Ginger is an herb with a complex chemical structure and proven efficacy in treating certain medical conditions. So why don’t we know more about it and use it more often?

Actually, many parts of the world have been using this herb for more than 2,000 years - it is a common additive and medicinal herb in Chinese and Indian cultures.

Over the last 20 years, numerous studies have shown the efficacy of ginger in treating various conditions. In vitro studies suggest that ginger has antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic effects and may additionally protect against Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

Do you have any special tips you can share for healthier living?  If so, we would love to hear from you!

One of the biggest problems I have is keeping track of the many accounts that provide points and rewards.  In fact, I have actually lost points for not keeping track of the expiration date. If this has happened to you I share your frustration and pain.  Seeing the value of an airline ticket, rental car or hotel go down the drain is a big bummer. 

Well, I have said “bon voyage” to the hassle of keeping track of those frequent flier miles, rental car rewards and credit card points by signing up with a website called awardwallet - www.awardwallet.com. This site provides a service that aggregates and securely monitors all of my accounts for FREE!  You can also sign up for their email notifications that will tell you when any of your balances change or points are about to expire.

I sense a vacation coming on soon…

Welcome to the Gables Residential Blog - a forum focused on keeping you updated and informed about company announcements, community updates, swapping ideas and interacting with people who share an interest in apartment living.

C.O.M.M.U.N.I.C.A.T.I.O.N - we do it every day using email, telephone, texting, the written word and good old-fashioned chit-chat.  Just when we thought our plate was full of communication options, the internet delivered blogging.  Having watched this phenomenon closely for the past few years, we have come to realize the ongoing value it brings to others.  We like to think of the Gables blog as a tool that will provide useful and interesting information to our residents, associates, those considering apartment living, or just because you find one of our articles interesting.

Our goal is to entertain (some postings may be silly or fun), educate (you may learn a thing or two), establish trust (you will find value in what we share), build loyal relationships (you will want to come back again and again), and most importantly, enjoyment in reading our posts.  Each post should include a “takeaway”, something so compelling and informative that you can’t help but want to share it with others.  Hopefully you will want to visit often, discovering new ways of maximizing your apartment living experience. 

On behalf of all of us at Gables Residential, we thank you for visiting us and look forward to sharing many conversations with you.

Enjoy!
