It’s technically the end of summer, yet sometimes we get carried away with cozy fall plans. One of the ways we plan to upgrade our tea this year is with a zesty touch of ginger. This super healthy root has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, including cold, nausea, and migraines. Here are a few of the health benefits that make ginger a superfood.
Ginger Helps Reduce Nausea
Ginger is perhaps best known for easing nausea and vomiting, particularly in pregnant women. Scientists think it works by keeping the digestive system stable and blood pressure consistent, which can reduce nausea.
Ginger Eases Muscle Soreness
Ginger has been found to have many anti-inflammatory properties. On top of soothing colds, ginger has also been shown to reduce muscle soreness due to exercise. You might want to have some ginger at the ready next time you hit the gym.
Relieves Menstrual Pains
Ginger has recently been proven to be an effective home remedy for menstrual pain. In fact, one study found it to be as effective as ibuprofen!
