Digestive issues like bloating, irregular bowel movements and gas formation can interfere with your daily life. While there are many over-the-counter medicines, there is no replacing natural remedies and ingredients. Amongst the many things that help with digestive issues, the best is ginger. While we all know that consuming ginger water on empty stomach can help you lose weight, do you know that it is a great ingredient to get rid of digestive issues? Let's learn more!
Ginger has an active compound called gingerol which acts as a catalyst for digestive enzymes, enhancing the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. Drinking a glass of ginger juice, the first thing in the morning sets the tone for a positive day. This juice also helps get rid of feelings of nausea.
Ginger further has a calming effect on the stomach and helps with stomach upsets. The magical ingredient also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce inflammation in the body. Reports also reveal that ginger juice can help improve stomach ulcers and reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
According to a report by Indian Express, ginger is a protective agent and consuming it on empty stomach might be a good idea as it interacts directly with the gut mucosa, potentially offering a first line of defense against the day’s dose of toxins and stressors.
