Health benefits of ginger

A hot cup of ginger tea is all one can want in a winter morning. But many of us may not know about its medicinal benefits. With its high levels of vitamin C, magnesium and other minerals, ginger root is extremely beneficial for our health. It has a very long history of use in various forms of traditional and alternative medicine. It has been used to aid digestion, reduce nausea, and help fight the flu and common cold, to name a few. In these tough times, the only thing we can do to keep ourselves safe and healthy is by taking care of our immunity. And ginger can do wonders in this area. As per studies, ginger has volatile oils, which have anti-inflammatory properties similar to that of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This makes ginger an excellent remedy for headache, flu and even menstrual pain.

People suffering from osteoarthritis also have claimed that regular consumption of ginger has lowered their medication intake. It also helps boost the digestive system, which is the first step to stay healthy and stay in shape. So, ginger from your kitchen can go a long way in keeping diseases at bay. The humble ginger not only adds flavour to your dishes but also serves up numerous health benefits.
