What are the benefits of eating ginger in summer?

1. Relieving heat

Eating ginger in summer can relieve symptoms of food poisoning. In summer, bacteria and viruses multiply, and many people do not pay attention to food hygiene and often experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. You can decoct ginger and perilla leaves in water, then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar, and take it twice a day. This can reduce the harm food does to the spleen and stomach and relieve the discomfort brought by food poisoning.

2. It can prevent colds

Ginger has the effects of stopping vomiting, aiding digestion, reducing phlegm, and inducing sweating, and is especially helpful for preventing wind-cold colds. When a common cold occurs, you can eat a few slices of ginger, which helps promote blood circulation, helps the body sweat quickly, and reduces the discomfort caused by the cold. You can also decoct scallion whites and three slices of ginger in water, then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar and take it while hot. You can also mash ginger and apply it to the chest, back, and the bends of both arms to promote sweating and relieve the cold.

3. It can prevent vomiting

Ginger has the effect of treating vomiting. You need one small spoon of ginger juice and two spoons of honey, put them into an appropriate amount of water, boil, and drink it while hot, three times a day. Before each trip by vehicle, you can drink some ginger juice to prevent vomiting caused by motion sickness. During pregnancy, you can also drink brown sugar ginger water to relieve the feeling of vomiting, and it can also treat toothache. The volatile oil contained in ginger can kill the pathogenic bacteria that cause bad breath and periodontitis. When there are sores in the mouth and tongue, you can also rinse your mouth with ginger water.

4. It can fight aging in the body

Ginger has a certain antioxidant effect. In particular, the pungent components it contains help inhibit the production of lipid peroxides, thus playing an anti-aging role. Free radicals in the human body are a kind of aging factor. If they are overly active, they can easily cause premature aging. The gingerol contained in ginger can effectively control harmful free radicals. At the same time, after the gingerol in ginger is absorbed by the human body, it helps excite our motor center, heart, and respiratory center.

5. It has an analgesic effect

Ginger contains a substance similar to salicylic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and is especially suitable for patients with waist and leg pain and rheumatic pain. Drinking a cup of ginger sugar water every day can make the body sweat slightly, which helps reduce symptoms. At the same time, this substance can also be extracted to slow blood coagulation, and it has certain effects on lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, and preventing blood clots and myocardial infarction.

Time to eat:

It is best to eat ginger in the morning, because in the morning the qi in the stomach is waiting to rise, and eating some ginger can strengthen the spleen and stomach, laying the “groundwork” for the digestion and absorption of food throughout the day. There are many ways to eat ginger in the morning: you can simmer ginger soup, or preserve it in sugar, or stir-fry it in dishes.

Specific ways to eat it:

1. Hold ginger slices in the mouth after getting up

Every morning after getting up, first drink a cup of water, then scrape the skin off ginger and cut it into thin slices. Take 4~5 slices and put them into a bowl filled with boiling water to scald briefly, then hold the ginger slices in your mouth for 10~30 minutes and chew slowly. Do not swallow them all at once. Eating it consistently is very helpful for preventing colds.

2. Drink ginger and jujube soup

For friends who often work in air-conditioned rooms in summer, every morning you can take 10 jujubes, 5 slices of ginger, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar, decoct them into soup and drink it as tea, once a day. It is especially suitable for female friends.

These people are not suited to eating ginger:

1. People with a yin-deficiency constitution must absolutely not eat ginger

Yin deficiency is a dry-heat constitution, manifested as hot palms and soles, sweaty palms and a desire to drink water, frequent dry mouth, dry eyes, dry nose, dry skin, irritability, and poor sleep. Ginger is pungent and warm in nature, and people with yin deficiency who eat ginger will worsen the symptoms of yin deficiency.

2. People with relatively severe internal heat should not eat ginger

People with conditions such as lung-heat dry cough, stomach-heat vomiting, bad breath, bleeding hemorrhoids, or festering painful sores should not eat ginger. If it is a heat-pattern illness, when eating ginger it must be combined with cold and cooling medicines to neutralize the heatiness of ginger.

3. Hepatitis patients should avoid eating ginger

In general, hepatitis patients should avoid eating ginger, because frequently eating ginger can cause liver fire to become excessive. To restrain the excessive liver fire caused by eating ginger, you can also choose some foods that soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as making tea with hawthorn and chrysanthemum, which can eliminate the dryness and heat caused by ginger without harming the body.

4. People with hair loss should be careful when using ginger

Many people use ginger externally to treat hair loss. Indeed, ginger is warm in nature and pungent in taste, and it can truly increase local blood circulation, stimulate hair follicles to open, and promote hair regrowth. But note that hair loss is a heat-pattern illness, and using ginger for a long time will generate heat. Using a warm-natured medicine to treat a heat-pattern illness conflicts with the principle emphasized in traditional Chinese medicine that “cold medicine is used for heat diseases,” so it should be used as little as possible.
