From blood sugar and gut health to inflammation ginger has many people espousing its benefits. There are tons of folklore remedies using ginger for indigestion, headaches, infections. But is there any science to back this up?In the Doctor’s Kitchen we want people to learn about the history of food, the nutritional benefits of ingredients so everyone can make an informed decision about their dietWhether you choose to include more or less ginger in your diet is completely up to you, but I hope we can help our healthy foodie listeners to appreciate the science of this incredible spice.Despite the poor evidence or lack thereof in some cases, there are some intangible benefits with all foods whether the science is there or not. Foods evoke memories, which impacts our emotions, our psychological states. There are many things that we can’t determine through looking at a clinical trial in isolation. So don’t be disheartened and remember to be intuitive about what you feel works for youI do love cooking with ginger for its health and flavour properties. I add it to curries, stews and teas. And as we look to the science and discover more about its health benefits, I think you’re going to be inspired to use it more regularly in your diet too.🎬 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/thedoctorskitchen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch the podcast on YouTube here</a>📱 <a href="https://applink.thedoctorskitchen.com/D8Et/rl6rea2q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download The Doctor’s Kitchen app for free</a>*🌐 <a href="https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">View full show notes, including guest details, on our website</a>*The Doctor's Kitchen App gives you access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.
