A Lecture

ByMr. Allah Dad Khan

Blood Circulation

Ginger tea helps improve blood circulation to maintain optimum health. The compounds like gingerols and zingerone in it have a

warming effect on the body, resulting in good circulation.Good circulation throughout the body means more nutrients, minerals

and oxygen reach different parts of the body. In addition, proper circulation promotes cell growth and functions of organs, such as the

brain, heart, liver, kidneys and the limbs.

Calm Nausea and Vomiting

Clinical studies have proven ginger’s effectiveness at calming nausea and vomiting. Research has also confirmed its potential

against chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The majority of studies found a positive effect against this side effect of

aggressive therapies. Ginger may be a powerful option for those suffering from toxic medical procedures like these.

CancerGinger root has a very high level of antioxidants higher than

many berries making it an excellent defender against cell damage and associated disease caused by free radicals. Ginger

has potential to prevent breast, liver, skin, bladder and colorectal cancers. Ginger’s antioxidant activity is one of several

mechanisms thought to explain its possible anticancer effects.

DiabetesGingerols are widely known to naturally improve diabetes and enhance insulin sensitivity. Ginger can help lower your blood sugar level and increase the effectiveness of insulin and other drugs used for treating diabetes. Experts recommend drinking

one glass of warm water mixed with one teaspoon of ginger juice first thing in the morning to regulate blood sugar.

Eases Menstrual Discomforts

The warm nature of ginger tea helps relieve pain and relax the muscles, thereby reducing menstrual cramps. Women dealing with irregular periods and

those who experience heavy menstrual cramps may also find relief with ginger tea.

Fights Respiratory Infections

• A few cups of warm ginger tea can help relieve congestion associated with the common cold, influenza or environmental allergies. In fact, sipping warm ginger tea when you feel a cold coming on can help stop a cold in its tracks

FluGinger has been prescribed to fight illness and infection for

ages. Its soothing effect helps to reduce the body’s emergency symptom responses to the damaged cells in the body. While

the white cells work on patching the cells and defending against the illness, ginger acts a barrier to the high levels of

prostaglandins that induce fever, headaches, and cramps.

Reduces Cholesterol Levels

• Ginger tea can also be beneficial for those who have high cholesterol as it helps increase the secretion of bile acids. Plus, due to its antioxidant properties, ginger prevents low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation.

• It also helps improve metabolism, fight obesity and reduce high blood pressure. However, as ginger may interact with blood-thinning drugs, avoid excess intake of ginger tea. It is best to consult a doctor before including ginger in your diet.

Relieves Nausea and Stomach Disorders

• Whether you are suffering from nausea or vomiting, you can treat it with a few cups of ginger tea. The active components like volatile oils and phenol compounds in ginger root influence the nervous system, stomach and intestines.

• This in turn helps reduce nausea, vomiting and stomach disorders such as indigestion, gas, stomach pain, bloating and diarrhea. It also helps fight off the virus or bacteria that cause diarrhea or upset stomach.

Strengthens Immunity• Ginger tea may help strengthen your

immunity due to the antioxidant properties in ginger. A strong immune system means that you’ll get sick less often and recover more quickly when you do.

• The warm nature of ginger helps break down toxins accumulated in the body, making it easier for the body to get rid of them.

• Ginger also has antimicrobial, antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help prevent many common health problems and infections. In addition, it contains chromium, magnesium and zinc, which help boost the immune system

Stroke and Heart DiseaseTwo of the biggest killers on the planet may be kept at bay with regular ginger use, especially when eaten with other key superfoods. Garlic, ginger and onions all have an anti-

blood-clotting ability, yet when they’re eaten together they’re a powerful mainstay against heart attacks and stroke!

Strengthens Immunity

Ginger helps improve the immune system. Consuming a little bit ginger a day can help foil potential risk of a

stroke by inhibiting fatty deposits from the arteries. It also decreases bacterial infections in the stomach, and

helps battle a bad cough and throat irritation.

Prevent Alzheimer’s

Since oxidative stress and inflammation are thought to trigger the risk factors for Alzheimer’s, it’s no wonder that the anti-

inflammatory properties of ginger have been studied as a means of preventing this terrible disorder from happening. But this study proved that “ginger extract enhances both attention and cognitive

processing capabilities of healthy, middle-aged women”.

Provides Pain Relief

Drinking ginger tea regularly effectively helps treat pain associated with gout, rheumatoid arthritis and

osteoarthritis. Plus, it can reduce post-exercise inflammation and pain.

Protection from UV Rays

Research data has shown ginger possesses UV absorbing capabilities that protect against DNA damage related to

UVB (ultraviolet-B) light. Extracts from ginger stimulated antioxidant production, suggesting protective

effects against potentially damaging UV light.

Natural Expectorant

Since ginger is a natural expectorant, it helps expand your lungs and even loosens phlegm by breaking down

and removing mucus. When you’re feeling a little congested, make some warm ginger tea with lemon three times a day and you’ll feel better in no time.
