Ginger
A common ingredient in various cuisines, ginger is also known for its health benefits, such as relieving nausea and boosting your immune system. There are even studies that have found it to be effective against various conditions due to its high antioxidant properties, including cancer, by fighting off the free radicals in the body that cause oxidative stress and lead to different medical conditions. It’s especially effective against specific cancers that develop in your gastrointestinal system.
Ginger has also been shown to improve digestion and reduce gas. Studies have indicated that some enzymes found in the root may help in breaking up and expelling gas formations in your intestinal tract when digesting food, alleviating some of the discomfort associated with its presence. Moreover, research suggests that ginger helps increase waste movement through your digestive tract and prevent or relieve episodes of constipation. In addition, ginger is known for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which may ease stomach pains.
The best way to take ginger is through its consumption as a tea. Peel and cut slices of the root and boil them in water for around ten minutes. Mixing it with black pepper will enhance its flavor and promote better immunity.
