Reduces Muscle Pain and Soreness

One study has found ginger to be effective against exercise-induced muscle pain and soreness. It is believed that gingerols in ginger help fight inflammation and turn off pain-causing compounds in the body.

Help with Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of the joints in the body, which leads to symptoms like joint pain and stiffness. Some studies have shown ginger to be effective at reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Lowers bad cholesterol

Some experts say ginger can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease. One study found that people who consumed 3g of ginger (about half a teaspoon) three times a day had a significantly higher reduction in triglyceride and cholesterol than the placebo group.

Ginger also has blood-thinning properties. This means consuming the root can help prevent the formation of blood clots and reduce your risk of heart and stroke.

Helps Fight Infections

Gingerol, found in ginger, can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and lower the risk of infections.

The root is known to be very effective against the oral bacteria, which causes inflammatory diseases in the gums, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Fresh ginger may also help fight RSV virus, a common cause of respiratory infections.
