This natural remedy for colds, upset stomach, and high blood pressure also packs a super anti-inflammatory punch. Numerous studies have demonstrated the inflammation-fighting and antioxidant powers of ginger, and the component credited with these properties is called 6-gingerol. Another anti-inflammatory component, zingerone, also has been identified as having an ability to reduce inflammation by suppressing the activity and production of certain factors in the body.
Ginger is available fresh, in powdered form, and as a tea. Enjoy ginger freshly grated on vegetables or salads or added to stir-fry dishes; ground ginger can be mixed into smoothies, the batter of baked goods, or stirred into soups. Ginger tea is served both hot and cold.
Note: Because ginger can thin the blood, anyone who is taking blood thinners should talk to their healthcare provider before using this spice.
