Ginger / Adrak
- Nausea relief: Ginger is perhaps best known for its ability to relieve nausea.
It appears to work by speeding up the emptying of your stomach. Ginger may be
helpful for nausea caused by motion sickness, pregnancy, morning sickness, and
chemotherapy.
- Reduces inflammation: Ginger contains gingerol, a substance with powerful
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may help reduce inflammation in
conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Improves digestion: Ginger can help improve digestion by stimulating the
production of saliva and bile, which are essential for breaking down food. It
may also help relieve indigestion, bloating, and constipation.
- Lowers blood sugar levels: Ginger may help improve blood sugar control in
people with type 2 diabetes. It appears to work by increasing insulin
sensitivity and helping the body remove sugar from the blood.
- May help reduce the risk of heart disease: Ginger may help lower LDL ("bad")
cholesterol and blood pressure, two major risk factors for heart disease.
