Focus on the benefits of ginger water
Ginger is a root that has long been recognized for its medicinal properties.

Its effectiveness on health is reflected in the antioxidants it contains, including gingerol which also acts as an anti-inflammatory. The latter, moreover, is converted into compounds called shogoals which are mainly found in dried ginger and which could protect against Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, it contains a good amount of manganese which facilitates the metabolic process and protects against free radicals, as well as copper, necessary for the formation of hemoglobin and collagen to repair body tissues.

Furthermore, and according to India Times, ginger helps to:

regulate blood pressure because it acts as an anticoagulant and helps regulate blood pressure and prevent the development of blood clots.
reduce LDL cholesterol levels which can be linked to heart disease.
prevent the growth of bacteria in the body.

Indeed, a study by RMG Biosciences highlighted the quality of ginger as a remedy against chronic inflammation, thanks to its anti-inflammatory constituents and which could even be placed at the same level as the pharmacological properties of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As a result, the gingerols, shogaols and paradols it contains help reduce pain due to arthritis in humans.

According to the researchers, this addition of gingerol as a supplement could be a significant alternative for the treatment of obesity.

In the same context, another study demonstrated the action of ginger supplementation in rats as a weight loss medication, while leading to an improvement in the level of good HDL cholesterol in the blood.
