THE UNIVERSAL
Ginger, as explained by the association El poder del consumidor, is known to be antibacterial and antioxidant, since it contains phytochemicals that help slow down the cell aging process and combat free radicals.
But not only that, it also helps prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s, which is why you should include it in your diet.
Various studies have shown that ginger has the ability to lower blood glucose and cholesterol levels and help improve circulation through its vasodilator action, which is why its consumption is recommended for people with diabetes. In addition, it reduces circulatory problems such as varicose veins.
As you will realize, ginger offers multiple health benefits, but not everyone knows that it can also contribute to the well-being of the brain.
And it is that ginger can prevent and delay the appearance of some neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
Also, due to its cineole content, it helps relaxation, combats anxiety and can also reduce migraines.
For its part, the Healthline portal explains that gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, responsible for much of its medicinal properties.
Gingerol has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and can help reduce oxidative stress, which is the result of having excessive amounts of free radicals in the body.
Thanks to the above, studies have found that ginger can slow down the aging process, which is relevant considering that age-related cognitive decline is among the main drivers of Alzheimer’s disease.
