Benefits
Here are six health benefits of ginger and how to add it to your diet.
- Prevents cell damage
Ginger root has one of the highest levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent oxidative stress, a process that is associated with diseases like cancer, diabetes, and stroke. Oxidative stress occurs when there are too many free radicals — molecules naturally produced by metabolic processes — in the body. Antioxidants stabilize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, thereby protecting the body from disease.
- Reduces inflammation
Ginger also acts as an anti-inflammatory thanks to its antioxidant properties. An excess of free radicals can cause inflammation — your body's natural immune response to harmful foreign objects.
- Treats nausea
Ginger contains a compound called gingerol. Gingerol is known for improving gastric motility — the passage of food through the body — and suppressing muscle spasms. This can help settle the stomach and reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
- Eases menstrual pains
Ginger can also act as a remedy for menstrual cramps. Ginger suppresses the production of chemicals that make your uterus contract, causing pain.
- May regulate blood sugar levels
Ginger can help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes by increasing glucose uptake in muscle cells without insulin.
- May treat indigestion
Ginger stimulates digestive enzymes responsible for moving food through the body more quickly, which prevents gas.
