Benefits of Ginger

Ginger contains bioactive compounds that have beneficial effects on the body.

Gingerol is the main bioactive compound. It has powerful antioxidant properties and is a soothing compound.

Ginger is often used to calm queasy stomachs and soothe digestion and may provide relief against exercise-related discomfort. One study showed that consuming 2 grams of ginger per day for 11 days significantly reduced muscle discomfort in people performing elbow-related exercises.

Other studies have shown that ginger is helpful for comforting joints throughout the body, supporting healthy blood sugar levels and blood lipid levels already within the normal range and it may speed up how fast food empties from the stomach, assisting with some digestive concerns. Research has also shown that ginger may benefit cognitive function.
