Nutrition and dosage are important factors to consider when it comes to taking ginger. Most research on ginger has looked at doses between 250 milligrams (mg) and 1 gram (g), taken between one and four times a day. The U. S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers ginger root to be generally safe and recommends a daily intake of up to 4 g. However, in large doses, ginger can cause adverse reactions. Ginger is available in both fresh and powdered form, and is an aromatic, spicy and spicy spice that works great in stir-fries, steamed or stewed dishes, and even in baked goodies such as muffins or cookies. Before turmeric was in the spotlight, ginger was one of the main spices people used as a remedy in the kitchen.
Studies have shown that ginger can be just as effective in relieving menstrual pain as over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen. In an open-label, randomized, controlled study involving adults with moderate insomnia who reported having suffered moderate insomnia, the addition of powdered ginger to a daily warm foot bath, used 1 to 3 hours before bedtime for 2 weeks, did not significantly affect the overall score of sleep quality or the severity of insomnia, compared to the consumption of warm water alone. Ginger appears to be more effective than placebo in reducing nausea, but equal to or less effective than metoclopramide and vitamin B6. Eating more than 6 grams of ginger a day has been shown to cause gastrointestinal problems, such as reflux, heartburn, and diarrhea. A small study showed that taking just 2 grams of ginger powder supplement a day significantly reduced fasting blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes.
While animal studies tend to suggest a beneficial effect of ginger on excess weight, the limited clinical studies available provide little or no support for weight loss in overweight subjects. When it comes to taking ginger for medicinal purposes, it is important to note that only unbleached (scraped or unscraped) ginger is accepted as a medical-grade medicine, as it contains 1.5% or more of oil volatile. To ensure safety and effectiveness when taking ginger for medicinal purposes, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
