Inflammation in the body becomes chronic inflammation if it lasts for a long time. It causes several diseases including diabetes and cancer. Experts point out that paying attention to what you eat has a huge impact on reducing inflammation.
Recently, Healthline, an American health media, introduced spices that have excellent effects on reducing inflammation. One of the most popular ingredients is ginger.
Ginger is a spice used a lot in Korean cooking. Besides cooking, ginger has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to treat ailments such as colds, migraines, nausea, arthritis and high blood pressure.
Ginger contains over 100 active compounds, including gingerol, shogaol, zingiberene, and zingerone. These substances have been proven to be effective in reducing inflammation in the body. Healthline said, “As a result of analyzing 16 studies with 1010 participants, taking 1000 to 3000 mg of ginger daily for 4 to 12 weeks significantly reduced ‘inflammatory markers’ compared to placebo.” Inflammatory markers refer to abnormal expression of proteins in the blood that appear during acute infection or tissue damage by bacteria or viruses.
Another study looked at the effects of taking 500 to 1000 mg of ginger daily in people with osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease involving joint inflammation. Studies have shown that ginger consumption not only reduces inflammatory markers, but also reduces joint pain and increases joint mobility.
In addition, ginger promotes the production of digestive enzymes and reduces intestinal inflammation. Because of this, eating ginger can help relieve symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and nausea.
It can also lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and prevent blood clots from forming, reducing the risk of heart disease.
