GINGER HEALTH TIPS

              BENEFITS OF GINGER

1). It can help you lose
weight.

Some small studies have linked ginger
intake — when combined with other
plant extracts — to some benefits in
weight loss. And there's definitely some
promising animal research linking
ginger to weight management . But as
with anything else, ginger is no magic
weight-loss pill ! Other components of a
healthy, balanced diet matter just as
much when it comes to losing weight
and keeping it off.
Ginger can be a delicious way to flavor
any anti-inflammatory diet plan . Plus,
swapping the spice for added salt,
sugar, or saturated fat may help us lose
unwanted pounds! Use ginger for
seasoning veggie-heavy meals and
snacks, not solely for health benefits.
2). It may help prevent heart disease.

The same anti-inflammatory
compounds in ginger can also reduce
the risk of chronic disease. A review in  2016 linked that regular ginger
intake with lower cholesterol and blood
sugar compared to a placebo. But just
like diabetes, eating ginger can't offset
an otherwise poor diet high in
saturated fat and added sugar. You'll
still have to consume more veggies,
100% whole grains, lean proteins, fish,
legumes, and beans in order to reduce
your risk.

3). It can settle an upset stomach.

The idea that ginger can help with some
light tummy trouble isn't new. In fact,
research has linked multiple digestive
benefits to ginger, specifically acting on
parts of your GI tract responsible for
feelings of nausea, stomach upset , and
vomiting. It may also help move food
from the stomach to the small intestine
for digestion and absorption. That said,
ginger cannot prevent food poisoning or counteract ingestion of a harmful
substance, so contact your physician
ASAP if something requires urgent
medical attention.

4).  It's a natural way to relieve period pain.

Out of all of the research done on
ginger's pain-relieving properties,
results show it helps with menstrual
pain the most. Sipping ginger tea can
also soothe nausea during that time of
the month. However, if you usually take
acetaminophen or ibuprofen, it may not work as well. Check your doctor
before trying any supplement in extract
or pill form, since it may interact with
other medications you're taking.

5). It can also curb morning sickness.

And speaking of an upset stomach,
pregnant women in particular should
take note: Ginger may help reduce
symptoms of morning sickness ! In fact,
research supports the safety and
efficacy of ginger during pregnancy,
with some improvement in symptoms
when compared to a placebo.

6). It may lower your risk of cancer.

The cell-protecting properties of ginger
can lower the long-term risk of certain
cancers. That's because the spice and
other flavorings may reduce cellular
activity that causes DNA changes, cell
death, and proliferation of cancer cells.
It could also help sensitize tumors to
treatments like chemo and radiation.
While ginger's not a cure-all for any
chronic disease, using it regularly with
loads of other spices and plant-based
foods can help benefit health overall.

7). Ginger is also a delicious way to flavor
any anti-inflammatory diet plan . Plus,
swapping the spice for added salt,
sugar, or saturated fat may help us lose
unwanted pounds! Use ginger for
seasoning veggie-heavy meals and
snacks, not solely for health benefits.
