Why Ginger Should Be in Your Daily Diet

August 23, 2022 by Ilona Kossoff

Ginger is a powerful tool for fighting inflammation and chronic disease, supporting the heart, gut, and other essential bodily systems. It also provides comfort and relief from stomach discomfort and related ailments – and it’s delicious! 

We use unprocessed ginger root in our Carrot Ginger Dill soup, which delivers more health benefits (and greater flavor!) than powdered or dried forms. Made with sweet potato, fennel, zucchini and flaxseed, Carrot Ginger Dill combines well-rounded nutrition with a satisfying flavor that will thrill your tastebuds.

The Health Benefits of Ginger

Ginger was first found in southeast Asia, and has been used in Eastern medicine since the 9th century. Today, it is a staple ingredient of Indian, Asian and many other cuisines, due to its abundant flavor and many health benefits.

Pain Relief

Ginger is high in vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. It is also rich in an antioxidant compound called gingerol, which reduces inflammation and, in turn, lessens pain in the body. This makes it a powerful tool in pain relief, both in the short and long term.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Gingerol helps with blood sugar regulation in two ways. First, it reduces enzymes that break down carbohydrates, helping the body metabolize glucose more easily. Second, it encourages the muscles to absorb glucose without needing any additional insulin.

Cholesterol Management

More research is needed here, but initial studies found a link between daily ginger consumption and decreased levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

Helps Reduce Nausea

Gingerol helps food move through the GI tract more quickly. It also blocks serotonin receptors in the gut lining, calming the nerves that trigger the vomiting reflex.

In addition, Carrot Ginger Dill soup is rich in beta carotene, fiber, potassium, calcium, vitamins A and C, and more. Order your anti-inflammatory soup today!
