6 Life Saving Reasons to Eat Ginger Every Day

Показать описание

Ginger is among the healthiest (and most delicious) spices on the planet.
It is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain.
Here are 6 health benefits of ginger that are supported by scientific research.

1.Ginger Fights Inflammation
Chronic inflammation, happens when the immune-system reacts to traumas when there aren’t any, doing damage to otherwise healthy tissues. Persistent and prolonged inflammation is considered to be the key driver in practically all diseases and disorders, a common denominator in autoimmune diseases, asthma, arthritis, eczema, acne, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, depression, and even aging itself.
Use ginger in your food as much as possible or take it in capsule form, just ensure they are natural and as pure as possible.

2.Ginger Eases Nausea
If you tend to drink ginger ale to settle an upset-stomach, you would be much better served by drinking a cup of ginger-tea instead. Made with artificial flavorings and no actual ginger, commercially-prepared ginger ale won’t help with the symptoms of nausea – at least scientifically speaking.

3.Ginger Lowers Cholesterol
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is the bad kind of cholesterol; it can build up in the walls of your arteries, making blood vessels hard and narrow, slowing blood flow to the heart and other organs. A study on patients who suffer from elevated lipid levels found that taking three grams of ginger per day had the effect of drastically reducing LDL cholesterol while increasing HDL cholesterol when taken over the span of 45-days.

4.Ginger Aids Digestion
Indigestion is a common stomach ailment, responsible for heartburn, nausea, bloating, and upper abdominal discomfort after eating. While it can be caused by things like eating greasy and spicy foods, or eating too quickly, when indigestion is chronic and occurs without reason, it is called functional dyspepsia. While ginger has been used for millennia as a digestive-aid, findings in a 2008 study confirmed that ginger helped stimulate muscle contractions in the stomach (which helps break food down) and speed-up the time it takes to empty stomach contents into the small-intestine.

5.Ginger Lowers Blood Sugar Levels
A daily dose of two grams of ginger per day can greatly reduce fasting blood sugar levels according to a study published in 2015. Moreover, proteins that increase the risk of complications associated with diabetes – specifically, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, high cholesterol, and damage to the retinas – were significantly decreased as well.

6.Ginger Improves Blood Circulation & Prevents Blood Clotting
Another way that ginger does wonders for heart-heath is its ability to thin blood and prevent blood-clots from forming. Sometimes platelets form inside blood vessels and obstruct blood flow throughout the circulatory-system, which can result in poor blood-circulation, embolisms, strokes, and heart attacks. In findings published in Thrombosis Research, ginger functioned as an anti-platelet agent and was more effective than aspirin in preventing platelets from binding and forming clots. Even if you don’t suffer from abnormal blood clotting, improving blood-circulation helps promote cell growth, brain and organ function, and healthy-skin.
