A cup of ginger water a day cures 6 diseases

Ginger is an indispensable spice in Vietnamese kitchens. The spicy taste of ginger not only creates a unique flavor, but also has medicinal properties.

Recently, a new study published in the journalCellsIt has been shown that ginger exosomes increase beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful bacteria in the gut, thereby improving intestinal barrier function and promoting gut health. This adds new evidence to the benefits of ginger.

According toAboluowang, drinking a bowl of warm ginger water every day will help treat 6 diseases:

Anorexia

Gingerol in ginger can stimulate the taste nerves of the tongue and receptors on the gastric mucosa.

This helps to clear gastrointestinal obstructions, through nerve reflexes and stimulates digestive secretions, thereby promoting digestion and increasing appetite.

Stomachache

Zingiberene in ginger can stimulate the gastric mucosa to synthesize and release endogenous pepsinogen, which has a cell-protective effect, thereby protecting the gastric mucosa from damage.

In addition, ginger can act on the sympathetic and vagus nervous systems, directly activating stomach function and stimulating gastric smooth muscle.

Gallstones

Gingerol contained in ginger can inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, relatively reduce the formation of mucus in bile, and have a certain effect in inhibiting gallstones.

This mechanism may also enhance adrenal cortex function and protect the liver.

Aging

After being digested and absorbed by the body, gingerol in ginger can produce anti-aging superoxide dismutase, thereby inhibiting the production and deposition of lipofuscin pigment in the body.

This mechanism slows down the process of cell aging.

Infection

Ginger contains some antibacterial ingredients that have certain inhibitory effects on gram-negative bacteria, yeast, mold, typhoid bacilli, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli, Penicillium...

A 2016 study from the University of New South Wales found a link between ginger consumption and a reduced risk of gum disease.

Scientists followed a group of volunteers and found that those who consumed ginger regularly were less likely to suffer from oral infections than those who did not.

Atherosclerosis

Drinking warm ginger water in the morning can quickly reduce triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the blood vessels, thereby preventing atherosclerosis.

Research from the University of Maryland has shown that consuming ginger can help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.

The research team conducted a test on a group of volunteers and found that daily use of ginger can help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thereby helping to prevent the development of some cardiovascular diseases.

As people get older, the elasticity of blood vessels gradually decreases. Therefore, this habit every morning will be especially beneficial for the health of blood vessels.
