Health benefit of ginger
Helps Digestion: Ginger helps increase the body’s ability to empty food from the stomach more quickly—known as gastric emptying. With this increased motility in the digestive system, it’s less likely that heartburn or indigestion will occur.
The phenolic compounds in ginger are known to help relieve gastrointestinal (GI) irritation, stimulate saliva and bile production, and suppress gastric contractions as food and fluids move through the GI tract.It can help regulate blood sugar: one of the most surprising health benefits of ginger is that it also helps regulate blood sugar. This minimizes the negative symptoms of high blood sugar, which, if left untreated, can lead to major health problems, like diabetes.
Reduces Menstrual Pains: ginger root has a high anti-inflammatory properties which is helpful in easing pain from menstrual cramps. ginger is as effective as ibuprofen in reducing the pain associated with dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) in women.
Reduces Nausea: Ginger has also been found to reduce the amount of nausea you might otherwise experience when feeling seasick. After surgeries, it’s common for some people to experience nausea and vomiting. Chewing raw ginger or drinking ginger tea is a common home remedy for nausea during cancer treatment.
5.Ginger Can Lower Cholesterol Levels: ginger can help lower LDL cholesterol levels (the bad kind!), reducing your risk of heart disease.
6.Cold and flu relief : During cold weather, drinking ginger tea is good way to keep warm. It is diaphoretic, which means that it promotes sweating, working to warm the body from within.
7.Ginger Prevents Bacterial and Fungal Infections : Ginger isn’t just a great spice to turn to when you’re nauseous and sick. It can keep you from getting sick in the first place! Its gingerol compounds lower your risk of multiple infections.
A group of Nigerian researchers found that ginger was even more effective at killing Staphylococcus aureus (staph infections) and Streptococcus pyogenes than conventional antibiotics! This has important implications if you’re recovering in a hospital after an illness or surgical procedure, where bacterial infections are extremely common among the immune-compromised
