The Health Benefits of Ginger

What Is Ginger?

 

A plant that contains leafy stems and yellowish flowers. Ginger contains gingerol which has medicinal elements - known to have a history of usage in different forms of traditional and alternative medicine. 

 

The elements in ginger have been found to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, nausea and help battle the flu or a common cold. The aroma and flavor of ginger are sourced from natural oils (specifically, gingerol). 

 

Gingerol is a bioactive element in ginger and according to research, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. For example, it may minimize oxidative stress which results from having an abundance of free radicals in the body.
