Digestive health
- Reduces nausea: Ginger is effective at easing nausea from causes like motion sickness, pregnancy (morning sickness), and chemotherapy.
- Aids digestion: It promotes efficient digestion and can help relieve bloating and intestinal gas. [1, 5]
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
- Fights inflammation: Compounds in ginger, such as gingerols and shogaols, have powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
- Reduces pain: Ginger may provide pain relief, similar to some common pain medications, especially for menstrual cramps, though its effect is often more long-term. It can also help with muscle soreness after exercise due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Provides antioxidants: Ginger is packed with antioxidants that help protect cells from damage and reduce oxidative stress, which may lower the risk of chronic diseases. [1, 3, 7, 8, 9]
Other potential benefits
- Boosts immunity: Ginger may help strengthen the immune system by triggering cells in the nose and throat to make a substance that makes it harder for viruses to attach.
- Supports heart health: It can help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve circulation, which are all factors for heart health.
- Manages blood sugar: Ginger may help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, which could reduce stress on the kidneys. [1, 2, 6, 10, 11]
