Since ancient times, there has been a folk saying that "ginger can cure all diseases". Especially after a cold, cooking a bowl of hot ginger soup is also everyone's first choice. There is also a saying that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor's prescription", which is also a popular way of keeping in good health and is believed by many people.

Let's take a look at some recognized benefits of eating ginger: stimulating appetite, relieving fatigue, cleaning the mouth, relieving pregnancy reaction, anti-aging, expelling cold and nourishing blood and so on. Ginger is called "the king of all medicines", which seems to be no exaggeration.

We know that it is easy to get flustered and get heatstroke in summer. This is related to the poor perspiration function of human body. Ginger can perspire and stop vomiting, and it can prevent heatstroke and cool down. In addition, when the weather is hot in summer, the secretion of saliva and gastric juice will decrease, leading to a great loss of appetite, which is what we often call "bitter summer". The volatile oil, gingerol and amino acids contained in ginger can promote digestion and increase appetite.

Of course, there are many functions of ginger. Clinical research shows that ginger contains an organic compound similar to salicylic acid, which is equivalent to blood thinner and anticoagulant, and has special effects on lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure and preventing myocardial infarction.

However, although ginger plays a great role, it should be eaten in moderation in summer, not as much as possible. This is because ginger contains a lot of gingerol. If you eat on an empty stomach or eat too much at one time, it is easy to cause great absorption pressure on the digestive system, and it is also easy to stimulate the kidneys, causing dry mouth, sore throat, constipation and rising virtual fire. Therefore, although ginger is good, it is not suitable for overeating and can be eaten properly when necessary.
