Treat Nausea, Especially Morning Sickness Ginger seems to be greatly effective against nausea. For example, it has a long history of use as a sea sickness remedy, and there is certain proof that it may be as effective as prescription medication. Frequent use of ginger can relieve nausea and vomiting after surgery, and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However it is mostly effective to pregnancy-related nausea, such as morning sickness. Researches done in pregnant women suggest that, 1.1-1.5 grams of ginger can expressively decrease symptoms of nausea, but it has no effect on vomiting problems. Although ginger is considered safe, talk to your physician just before taking huge amounts if you are pregnant. Some believe that huge quantities can increase the risk of miscarriage; however there are presently no studies to support this.(1), (2), (3), (4), (5) 2. Reduce Muscle Pain and Soreness Exercise-induced muscle pain can easily be cured with the regular use of ginger. Research suggests that consuming 2 grams of ginger per day will expressively reduce muscle pain in people performing elbow exercises. However ginger does not have an instant effect, but may be effective at decreasing the day-to-day progression of muscle pain. These effects are supposed to be mediated by the anti-inflammatory properties.(6), (7) 3. Helpful for Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is one of the common medical condition in which the bones become stiff and fragile from loss of tissue, normally as a result of hormonal changes, or lack of calcium or vitamin D. Research carried out on people with osteoarthritis of the knee suggest that frequent intake of ginger extract significantly reduce the pain compared to those who do not take them frequently. Similarly another research concluded that the combination of ginger, cinnamon, mastic and sesame oil, can decrease pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis patients when applied topically.(8), (9) 4. Help Treat Chronic Indigestion Recurrent pain and discomfort within the upper part of the stomach is generally described as Dyspepsia (Chronic indigestion). Late emptying of the stomach is the major reason for indigestion. Remarkably, ginger has been displayed to speed up emptying of the stomach in people with this disorder. After consumption of soup, ginger reduced the time it took for the stomach to empty from 16 to 12 minutes. Researches carried out among 24 healthy individuals suggest that 1.2 grams of ginger powder just before meal accelerated emptying of the stomach by 50%.(10), (11) 5. Reduce Menstrual Pain Dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain generally refers to pain felt throughout a woman's menstrual cycle. Ginger is traditionally used to get relief from such pain during menstrual cycle. Scientific research recommends taking about 1 gram of ginger powder per day, for the first 3 days of the menstrual period. Ginger help to manage the pain as effectively as drug ibuprofen and mefenamic acid.(12) 6. Lower Cholesterol Levels High levels of LDL lipoproteins (the "bad" cholesterol) are related to an increased risk of heart disease. The foods you consume have a strong influence on LDL levels. Research suggests that regular consumption of 3 grams of ginger powder caused significant reductions in most cholesterol markers. Another research done in hypothyroid rats, have proven that ginger extract helps to lowered LDL cholesterol just like cholesterol lowering drug atorvastatin. Both studies also displayed reductions in total cholesterol and blood triglycerides.(13), (14) 7. Prevent Cancer Cancer is one of the very serious diseases which are described by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Ginger extract has been considered as an alternative usage for numerous forms of cancer. 6-gingerol is one of the essential substance which is found in huge amount in raw ginger has got anti-cancer properties. Research has discovered that about 2 grams of ginger extract per day considerably reduced pro-inflammatory signaling molecules in the colon. However, a follow-up research in individuals at a high risk of colon cancer did not approve these findings. There is some, although limited, proof that ginger may be effective against pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. More research is necessary.(15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21) 8. Protect Against Alzheimer's disease Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation can speed up the aging process. They are believed to be one of the important reasons for Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline. Certain research suggests that the antioxidants as well as bioactive compounds present in ginger can help to prevent inflammatory responses which occur in the brain. However there is some proof that proves ginger can enhance brain function effectively. In a research of 60 middle-aged women, ginger extract was shown to increase reaction time and working memory. There are several researches showing that ginger can protect against age-related decline in brain function.(22), (23), (24), (25), (26) 9. Help Fight Infections Fresh ginger consists of Gingerol, the bioactive substance that can help lower the risk of infections. Ginger extract can prevent the growth of many different types of bacteria. It is extremely effective against the oral bacteria related to inflammatory diseases in the gums, like gingivitis and periodontitis. Fresh ginger may be effective against the RSV virus, a common cause of respiratory infections.(27), (28), (29), (30) |
