AWESOME BENEFITS OF GINGER
NAUSEA TREATMENT
Morning sickness or frequent bouts of nausea can be effectively treated with ginger. Post-surgical nausea or the usual episodes of sickness in pregnant women also benefit from small amounts of ginger in their diet. It has been used for centuries and works just as well today!
PERIOD PAIN PUNISHER
Studies have found ginger to be more effective in reducing menstrual pain than widely used drugs. Just a small amount (research used 250 mg of powder) relieves women of their pains drastically, compared to the drugs often prescribed.
LOWES BLOOD SUGAR
A recent study finds that ginger can significantly help reduce blood sugar levels in the body. Having decreased blood sugar levels by 23% to 28% in type 2 diabetics, ginger's benefits cannot be overstated.
GINGER FOR DIGESTION
Chronic indigestion can be a nightmare for many, thankfully in studies, ginger has proven to empty the stomach and speed up digestion in a matter of 13 minutes!
