Beneficial compounds in the special root
Ginger is so useful because it contains many different substances. The root has many aromatic oils. But the most important substances for health are gingerol and shogaol, which give it its pungency. These substances are similar to piperine, the compound that makes pepper hot. Ginger also contains many vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals such as potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium, as well as other compounds derived from gingerol that protect the body from harmful influences.
Ginger supports everyday health
Eating ginger regularly can be beneficial to us in various ways. The pungent compounds improve blood circulation and warm the body from within, which is especially pleasant in winter. Ginger is often used to promote digestion and to help the stomach and intestines. After a meal, ginger tea can relieve the feeling of fullness.
Ginger promotes well-being by fighting harmful free radicals in the body thanks to its antioxidants. Its pungent constituents can also stimulate the immune system. Ginger is also known to improve general wellbeing in cases of travel sickness. Its cell-protective, anti-inflammatory properties make it a good addition to a healthy diet.
