Khaberni - Recent scientific studies have shown that ginger is not just a fragrant plant used in cooking, but also a rich source of medical compounds with proven health benefits.
Recent medical research indicates the effectiveness of ginger in addressing many health issues, making it one of the most scientifically supported natural remedies:
Combating Nausea: Studies have shown its ability to reduce feelings of nausea and the urge to vomit, especially in pregnant women and chemotherapy patients, by calming serotonin receptors and reducing gas and bloating.
Anti-inflammatory: It contains compounds such as gingerol and shogaol that are characterized by antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to regulate immune response and reduce white blood cell activity in autoimmune diseases.
Pain Relief: Ginger alleviates knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis, as well as muscle pains and menstrual cramps, by inhibiting chemicals that cause pain, serving as a natural alternative to some pain relievers.
Heart and Diabetes Support: It helps in lowering harmful cholesterol and triglyceride levels, regulating blood pressure, and improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for heart and diabetes patients.
Brain Protection and Cancer Fighting: Preliminary research suggests that ginger compounds may protect nerve cells from damage, guard against degenerative diseases, and slow the growth of some cancer cells in the lab.
Safe usage tips:
Moderate consumption in food or tea is safe for most people, while high doses (more than 4 grams per day) may cause heartburn or digestive disturbances.
It is advisable to consult a doctor before using it as a supplement, especially for pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases, or those who are taking blood-thinning or blood sugar-lowering medications.
