Healthy diets don’t have to be boring or bland.
In fact, adding in spices can make your food tastier… and it can pile on the health benefits, too.
There’s one spice that’s a staple in our house. I put it in everything from soups to smoothies.
And research shows it can help you beat just about ANY disease.
You’ve heard of superfoods.
Well, ginger is a superSPICE.
Besides being one of the tastiest spices, it’s also one of the healthiest.
Here are 4 top reasons to start spicing up your food with ginger.
- It improves brain function.
In one study, when middle-aged women took a ginger extract they experienced improvements in reaction time and working memory.
Other studies show that ginger helps protect against age-related decline in brain function.
And because ginger is highly anti-inflammatory, it can be useful for combatting inflammation in the brain –– one of the key drivers behind depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, and age-related cognitive decline.
- It reduces joint pain.
Ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties make it helpful for combatting pain as well.
In one study, people with osteoarthritis taking ginger extract had less pain and needed less pain medication.
In another study, a topical preparation including ginger reduced the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis.
It can also relieve joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- It alleviates nausea.
One of ginger’s most well-known uses is as a remedy for motion sickness and nausea. Research finds that ginger can help reduce vomiting after surgery and in patients taking chemotherapy.
It can also reduce nausea in pregnant women.
- It treats indigestion.
Ginger helps alleviate the pain and discomfort of chronic indigestion. The discomfort is caused by delayed emptying of the stomach. Ginger speeds up the process.
One study showed that taking 1.2 grams of ginger powder before a meal accelerated stomach emptying by 50 percent.
You can get fresh ginger at your local grocery store or market. Start adding it to your favorite recipes to add a tasty kick… and an extra health boost.
