 Consume Ginger Every Day

If you've never eaten ginger so far, it's time to do it, because it's a food with incredible virtues, very beneficial to your health.

Originally from Asia, ginger is now used all over the world because of its refined taste that highlights the tastes of various culinary recipes, as well as its multiple health virtues.

Here are 9 incredible benefits of ginger:

1 - Fighting cancer:

Rich in antioxidants, ginger root helps fight against the free radicals responsible for tissue inflammation and the development of cancer cells in the body. In addition, a study presented during a session at the American Association for Cancer Research, ginger consumption triggered the apoptosis (spontaneous death) of cancer cells and their autophagy (they attack each other). In addition, it inhibits the formation of new blood vessels feeding the ovarian tumors, which helps to fight against ovarian cancer and prevent its occurrence.

2 - Reduce inflammation:

Containing gingerol, an active ingredient, ginger helps fight inflammation and relieve pain and swelling in the muscles and joints. In addition, its powerful anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce the risks of several diseases such as obesity, diabetes or Alzheimer's.

3 - Treat gastric reflux:

Gastric reflux is due to the rise of the acid contents of the stomach into the esophagus. To remedy this, many people use drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). A study published in the journal Molecular Research and Food Nutrition showed that ginger was 6 times more effective than some of these PPIs. In addition, another study published in Jama Neurology showed that the latter could increase the risk of dementia by 50% in the elderly.

4 - Eliminate morning sickness:

According to a study conducted at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, pregnant women who consume 1 g of ginger per day see their morning sickness and vomiting decreased considerably during pregnancy.
However, pregnant (and nursing) women should absolutely seek the advice of their physician beforehand.

5 - Relieve cough and sore throat:

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiseptic and anti-viral properties, ginger is an ideal remedy against cough and sore throat. Simply prepare an infusion by boiling 3 thin slices of its root in 200 ml of water, then once warm, add the juice of half a lemon and 1 teaspoon of honey. In addition, as an expectorant, it helps to clear the airways and to fight against the runny nose.

6 - Improve digestion:

If you have digestive problems, prepare an infusion of ginger by boiling 2 thin slices of its root, then add a spoonful of honey, once warm. By boosting digestion, ginger helps reduce bloating and flatulence, and its antispasmodic properties help relieve abdominal cramps.

7 - Relieve headaches:

To relieve headaches, ginger is your ally. With its anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds, it helps to calm the pain and stop migraine quickly. To enjoy its virtues, mix a ½ teaspoon with 150 ml of hot water, then let infuse for a few minutes before adding 1 teaspoon of honey. Result guaranteed!

8 - To soothe dental pain:

Dental pain is usually due to caries. To reduce them, prepare a paste by mixing ginger powder with a little water, soak a piece of cotton, squeeze it and then apply it on the painful tooth avoiding the gum so as not to burn it. For added effect, also add a small amount of Cayenne pepper to your mix.

9 - Better blood circulation:
