Ginger for Cancer

In recent years, ginger has received much attention due to its observed anti-emetic and anti-cancer effects. Two specific compounds found in ginger, 6-shogaol and 6-gingerol specifically, have been shown to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and metastasis.

Ginger for Autoimmune Disease


Research has been emerging in lab mice that show ginger's ability to greatly reduce the activation of various autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Ginger has also been shown to have a powerful effect for treating rheumatoid arthritis due to its underrated ability to decrease, and even eliminate, inflammation by deactivating gene expression related to inflammatory response.

Ginger for Diabetes


Ginger has also shown the ability to help manage blood sugar levels which would make this a very beneficial food to consume for people struggling with diabetes. If you're undergoing a treatment plan to help control your diabetes, ginger could be another powerful and effective tool in your belt.
