\"Adrak\"<\/p>\n

Ginger or adrak<\/em>,a staple spice of Indian household today, originated in the south-east Asia more than 5000 years ago. Back then, it was considered a medicine for all ailments. It contains a compound known as \u2018Gingerol\u2019<\/em> that has anti-inflammatory & antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n

Ginger has been used to\u00a0combat common cold in addition to being a taste enhancer in food and tea. But little do we know about the gamut of health benefits that it provides.<\/p>\n

Here are some amazing health benefits of this wonder spice:<\/p>\n

1 . Boosts Immunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

It cleans the body\u2019s sewage system thereby preventing the accumulation of toxins.Cut ginger into small pieces and put into a bowl of water and then boil for 8-10 minutes. Drink this herbal solution for 3-4 times a day, relieving you of the irritating coughs in addition to boosting your immunity. If you do not like the taste of it, stir some honey or lemon into it.<\/p>\n

2 . Helps In Weight Loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ginger also helps in promoting weight loss. It activates the body\u2019s metabolism and hence leads to burning of fat<\/a>. Heat a cup of water till it boils, now add small piece of ginger and keep it covered for five minutes. You can add lemon juice to taste. Drink this before breakfast for reaping maximum benefits.<\/p>\n

3 . Regulates Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ginger acts similar to blood pressure controlling pills. It blocks the flow of calcium into heart cells which lowers blood pressure. Drink ginger tea before breakfast instead of popping the prescription pill.<\/p>\n

4 . Helps Clear Acne<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ginger extract helps in purification of blood. Extract ginger juice and store it in a refrigerator. Mix 2 tablespoon of ginger juice along with 2 tablespoon of honey and consume every morning on an empty stomach. This helps you get rid of pimple<\/a>, acne and other skin disorders.<\/p>\n

5 . Lowers Cholesterol<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consuming 2-3 grams of dry ginger everyday has been associated with lowering cholesterol levels. Consuming ginger activates an enzyme that increases body\u2019s use of cholesterol. It also protects a diabetic person\u2019s organs such as liver & kidneys.<\/p>\n

6 . Aids In Digestion<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good stomach is the sign of good health. A common problem among the mass is indigestion. Ginger is helpful in battling indigestion. Peel & cut the ginger into small pieces. Soak these in honey in a bottle and keep in sunlight for 10 days. Consume 2-4 pieces every morning.<\/p>\n

7 . Cures Nausea<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chewing raw ginger is effective in treating nausea. Wash & peel ginger before cutting into small pieces. Chew these pieces throughout the day. You can also grab some snacks containing ginger.<\/p>\n

8 . Eases Muscle Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heavy weight lifting at the gym often leads to muscle pain the following days. The anti-inflammatory property, attributed to sesquiterpenes<\/em> such as zingiberene<\/em> present in ginger, helps in reducing exercise induced muscle pain if taken consistently over a period of time. One teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger can be added to meals daily.<\/p>\n

9 . Relieves Joint Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n

The anti-inflammatory property of the ginger helps in fighting Osteoarthritis- a condition of joint pain and stiffness. Applying ginger oil topically on the joints lowers the pain and also eliminates the necessity to pop pain killers.<\/p>\n

It should be noted here that ginger should not be given to children under the age of 2 years. For children over 2 years, you should consult your doctor to determine the right dose. Adults should not consume more than 4 grams per day.<\/p>\n

With so much to offer, Ginger can safely be tagged as a superfood<\/em> that you should make a part of your daily diet. Stay Healthy, Stay happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
