Ginger is a common ingredient in food and traditional medicine. Many studies on animals and humans have shown it might help with health problems that often come with aging. Some research even suggests it could help us live longer.
Researchers looked at all the scientific studies on how ginger affects the 12 main ways our bodies age. They wanted to understand if ginger could help us live longer and healthier lives.
The studies reviewed show that ginger seems to help with all 12 of these aging processes. It’s especially good at:
- Helping our bodies use food energy better
- Improving how our cells make energy
- Reducing long-term inflammation
- Balancing the good and bad bacteria in our gut
While there’s a lot of animal research on these topics, we don’t have enough studies on humans yet. We do have some human studies showing ginger helps with inflammation, how our bodies use food energy, and gut bacteria balance.
In conclusion, the research so far suggests ginger could be really useful for helping us live longer and healthier lives. But we need more studies on humans to be sure.
