One of the world's healthiest foods: Ginger is a good source of potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese and vitamin B6.I have always been fascinated by healthy remedies...whenever one of us hears about something that is healthy and good for the body, we always share our findings. Here are the benefits of Ginger:
Historically, ginger has a long tradition of being very effective in alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. In herbal medicine, ginger is regarded as an excellent carminative (a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) and intestinal spasmolytic (a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract). Modern scientific research has revealed that ginger possesses numerous therapeutic properties including antioxidant effects, an ability to inhibit the formation of inflammatory compounds, and direct anti-inflammatory
effects.
In addition Ginger also provides:
- Safe and Effective Relief of Nausea and Vomiting During Pregnancy
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects
- Protection against Colorectal Cancer
- Induces Cell Death in Ovarian Cancer Cells
- Immune Boosting Action
At the moment I am sipping ginger, lemon and honey tea. All I did was boil some water and mix it with some shredded ginger, a squeezed lemon (1/4), and a touch of honey...it is a powerful taste...but you can't help but feel great while drinking it!
