medicinal value
eating ginger sugar often can relieve arthritis pain
the health function of ginger is highly respected in Chinese medicine. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is pungent and warm, and enters the lung, stomach and spleen meridians. Its main functions are to express, dispel cold, stop vomiting and open phlegm. It can treat wind-cold colds and detoxify fish and crabs. Therefore, people who have a cold or are prone to carsickness, it is best to keep some ginger candy or ginger tea around them, which can play a very good role in alleviating it. In recent years, there have been many new studies on the effect of ginger in preventing and treating diseases abroad. A recent study in Britain found that foods containing higher concentrations of ginger can play the role of painkillers, which can alleviate the pain of two-thirds of arthritis patients. An American study found that 6-gingerol in foods containing ginger can inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells. In addition, ginger also contains an aspirin-like substance. Its dilute solution is a blood thinner and anticoagulant, which has a special effect on lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and preventing myocardial infarction. Therefore, the researchers suggest that eating more foods containing ginger at ordinary times can ensure people's health to a certain extent.
foods containing ginger generally have a pungent taste, which is mainly because ginger contains gingerol, which can promote the secretion of salivary glands and gastrointestinal digestive glands, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite, help digestion and adjust gastrointestinal function. Therefore, people who usually have poor digestion and flatulence can also keep some ginger candy around them.
