Here are 8 reasons to convince you start using ginger today!
Ginger relieves nausea
Ginger is one of the safest home remedies. If you suffer from nausea, you can consume it raw or in the form of tea. Ginger is very helpful in relieving nausea during pregnancy and cancer treatments. A study that proved this included 1,278 pregnant women who consumed 1.1-1.5 grams of ginger. According to the results, ginger helped them reduce their nausea and morning sickness.
Ginger relieves digestive issues
The phenolic compounds in ginger have been shown to help relieve irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. They help to stimulate saliva and bile production while allowing food and fluids to move through the GI tract more smoothly. In a study of 24 healthy individuals, taking 1.2 grams of ginger powder before a meal accelerated emptying of the stomach, reducing indigestion by 50%.
Ginger Relieves Pain
Ginger is a traditional remedy for pain caused by primary dysmenorrhea (intense menstrual cramps). The root also fights inflammation, swelling and pain in patients suffering from arthritis better than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like mefenamic acid and ibuprofen.
In addition, ginger can fight exercise-related pain by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to sore muscles. In fact, it’s a popular post-workout remedy among renown athletes because of its ability to shorten recovery time after high-intensity exercise.
Ginger Reduces Inflammation
Osteoarthritis is a common issue which represents the joint degeneration, which leads to stiffness and pain in the joints. A recent research involved 247 people with knee osteoarthritis and showed that the ones who consumed ginger needed less medication and their pain was significantly reduced.
Ginger Improves Brain Function
Two important factors responsible for the aging process and quite possibly Alzheimer disease and other age-related cognitive impairments are chronic inflammations and oxidative stress. Ginger can inhibit inflammatory responses that occur in the brain thanks to the bioactive compound and the antioxidants it contains. This was proven by a study that involved 60 middle-age women, which showed that ginger can improve the working memory and the brain’s reaction time. According to this, ginger supports brain health in multiple ways.
Ginger May Reduce Risk of Heart Disease
In a recent study involving participants with type 2 diabetes, researchers found that 2 grams of ginger powder each day lowered blood sugar and led to a 10% overall reduction over a period of 12 weeks. High blood sugar is a major risk factor for heart disease. With the effects of ginger on blood sugar, your risk of heart disease may be lowered by at leas 10%.
Ginger May Lower Cholesterol Levels
Ginger helps improve the metabolism of fats as well as reduce blood lipid levels. A study on patients with hyperlipidemia found that taking 3 g of ginger a day for 45 days significantly reduced triglyceride, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels when compared to a placebo.
This is yet another way that ginger helps prevent heart disease.
Ginger Fights Cancer
Ginger contains a substance called 6-gingerol which has been a subject of numerous studies as a potential alternative cancer treatment. One study found that 2 grams of ginger extract on a daily basis reduced the pro-inflammatory signaling molecules in the colon.
