Ginger’s ability to fight inflammation means that it can play a role in preventing a number of chronic health problems. At the top of the list? Heart disease. Consuming fresh ginger daily for 45 days has been shown to significantly lower cholesterol and triglycerides. It also slashes markers for oxidized lipoproteins—fatty deposits that can cause arteries to get stiff and clogged, research has found.
Findings also suggest that ginger’s antioxidant effects could play a role in protecting the brain against cognitive decline (like Alzheimer’s disease) and potentially fight certain cancers, including pancreatic, breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer.
