Can eating ginger play a role in lowering blood pressure, lipid and anticoagulation?
Eating ginger can't lower blood pressure, on the contrary, it may increase blood pressure. Because ginger contains gingerol, which stimulates the oral cavity and gastric mucosa, eating ginger will cause blood pressure to rise to some extent. Eating ginger can play a certain auxiliary role in lowering blood lipid, but the effect is not obvious. Ginger can reduce the content of cholesterol in blood to a certain extent, and the irritation of ginger has an exciting effect on the central nervous system and can promote blood circulation, so it can play a role in lowering blood fat. Eating ginger can play an anticoagulant role. Ginger contains gingerol and gingerol, which can reduce blood viscosity and platelet aggregation and has good anticoagulant effect.
