How Ginger Helps the Digestive System
Ginger, also known as ginger root, has been used for centuries to help alleviate problems related to the digestive system. You can buy fresh ginger root year-round at most grocery stores. If you are a gardener, you can also grow your own ginger, even if you live in a cooler climate, as you can grow ginger in pots in your kitchen. When buying ginger, be sure to buy fresh roots that are hard and smooth on the outside.
The benefits of ginger are due to volatile oils known as gingerols and gingerols. These oils produce the strong flavor of ginger and also have a warming effect that can help relax muscles and reduce inflammation. Here are some ways ginger can help your digestive system.
Preventing stomach ulcers
Ulcers are ulcers or lesions that may develop in the stomach or intestines and can be very painful. Ginger helps produce more fluid and helps neutralize the harmful stomach acids that cause ulcers to form.
Improves digestion
Ginger helps improve the digestion of food by excreting more juice to help break down proteins. This can help you prevent bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and many other gastrointestinal symptoms.
Relaxes muscles
The warming effect of ginger helps to soothe and relax the abdominal muscles and improve blood circulation. This helps prevent cramps and vomiting due to motion sickness, morning sickness, fever, or medical treatment.
How to get these benefits
In order to get these benefits of ginger, you need to make ginger a part of your daily diet. There are many ways to add ginger to your diet, but my favorite way is to drink ginger tea. You can make the tea in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Simply grate some fresh ginger and steep it in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drink this tea after a meal and you’ll see immediate results.
You can also use fresh ginger in salad dressings to get a strong flavor. You can use your favorite ingredients and herbs, such as chopped cilantro, lemon or lime juice, your favorite oil, and a pinch of unrefined sea salt.
