How to prepare Ginger tea and its benefits

How to prepare ginger tea. Ginger has several therapeutic benefits, including a bactericidal, fungicidal, antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action. Ginger tea can be beneficial, in small amounts, to relieve nausea (including during pregnancy or chemotherapy), to aid digestion and to fight throat and respiratory diseases.

It also helps to prevent gastritis and ulcers, as it acts to fight the H. pylori bacteria, one of the main causes of the problem.

Ginger is known to be a thermogenic food, that is, it speeds up metabolism, increases body temperature and can help those who want to lose weight, but this benefit will only be noticed if combined with a healthy diet and physical exercise.

Ginger is found in fresh markets, preserves, in capsule, crystal or powder form. To make tea, it is best to use pure root. When buying, prefer it whole and fresh, with smoother skin, without holes, that is not withered or moldy. The inner part must be yellowish and not too fibrous.

What nutrients do you have?

Ginger is rich in copper, vitamins A, B, C and D, potassium, selenium, zinc, and magnesium. In the case of ginger tea, specifically, the benefits are also closely related to the release of the essential oils that are part of its composition: thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol.

These oils are mainly responsible for the anti-inflammatory action of ginger tea. That is, our body produces several inflammatory substances, such as oxytocins, but the essential oils of ginger can help inhibit inflammation. There are even animal studies that show its benefits for reducing joint inflammation related to arthritis.

For the stomach, mainly, studies show that it affects the adherence of the bacteria H. Pylori, which decreases the risk of developing gastritis, ulcers, and even stomach cancer in those who ingest it more frequently.

Prevents ulcers and gastritis: As ginger tea helps fight H. pylori bacteria, one of the main causes of gastritis and stomach ulcers, it also helps to prevent diseases from happening.

Animal studies also show a decreased risk of developing liver cancer.
