It is best to consume vitamins and nutrients in their natural form, and sometimes it is cheaper than buying pharmaceutical drugs.
One of the plants useful for humans is considered to be the ginger root. Everyone remembers it as the autumn-winter season approaches. But can you eat ginger every day?
Benefits of ginger
The root of the plant is not only a set of vitamins and microelements, but also a source of bioactive compounds.
In particular, it contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances (gingerol, shogaol).
It is useful as a means of combating nausea, arthritis, improves metabolism, normalizes blood sugar levels, improves digestion, and strengthens the immune system.
In addition, consuming ginger root has a positive effect on heart and brain health.
It also acts as a pain reliever and a natural aphrodisiac.
Is it possible to eat daily?
Uncontrolled consumption of the root of this plant can cause problems with the gastrointestinal tract (reflux, heartburn, diarrhea).
It is also important to remember that ginger thins the blood, and take this into account when taking appropriate medications.
Therefore, foreign gastroenterologists, as a general recommendation, advise limiting the consumption of ginger root to 4 grams per day.
Pregnant women should limit their intake of the root to 1 gram per day, and children under 2 years of age should not consume ginger.
