Generally speaking, it is better to drink ginger tea in the morning.
The ancients said: "Eating ginger in the morning is better than eating ginseng soup; eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic (eating ginger in the morning is beneficial, eating ginger in the evening is harmful)." There is a certain truth.
In the early morning, the qi in the stomach is waiting to rise. Eating some ginger can strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach, paving the way for the digestion and absorption of food throughout the day. Moreover, the volatile oil in ginger can speed up blood circulation, excite nerves, and warm the whole body. In winter mornings, eating some ginger appropriately can also dispel the cold and prevent colds. At night, the human body's yang energy should converge and yin energy should be exuberant. Therefore, you should eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce qi and digestion. This is more conducive to resting at night, such as radish, which is a good choice. The pungent and warm dispersing effect of ginger will affect people's normal rest at night, and eating pungent and warm ginger at night can easily produce internal heat, leading to "heat" symptoms over time. It is an exaggeration to say that it is like "arsenic", but it is indeed harmful to health.
