• Ginger is prized for its ability to help calm the digestive tract, reducing indigestion and nausea associated with morning sickness and motion sickness. Its active ingredients, gingerols and shogaols, neutralize stomach acids, which, in turn, prevents bloating.
• Studies show that daily consumption of anti-inflammatory ginger (raw or cooked) can relieve joint stiffness and exercise-induced pain.
• Ginger helps boost your immune system since it may promote healthy perspiration, which can ward off germs. Fever and sweating are your body's ways of kicking out an infection.
