Ginger water, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, has long been prized for its digestive benefits, says Pooja Palriwala, a nutritionist based in the US, according to the Indian Express.
Compounds in ginger can ease digestive discomfort and soothe nausea, making it a popular natural remedy, Palriwala said in an Instagram post.
Drinking ginger water in the morning on an empty stomach is best.
Experts talk about the effects of ginger water
Dr. Manvi Lohia, a nutritionist working at the Ekaanta Health Care Center, Haridwar (India), said that gingerol, the active ingredient of ginger, acts as a catalyst for digestive enzymes, enhancing the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.
Two experts, Alpa Momaya, head of nutrition, Healthify Wellness Center (India) and Dr. Dilip Gude, senior consultant, Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad (India), also agree with Dr. Lohia that ginger water has many benefits, especially for the digestive system. It can help alleviate digestive problems and nausea. It can also have a soothing effect on the stomach and help relieve abdominal pain.
Dr. Gude adds that ginger can also improve the spasmodic symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and acid-induced stomach ulcers.
When is the best time to drink ginger water?
Dr Lohia says drinking ginger water in the morning on an empty stomach is not just a trend but has been practiced since ancient times to improve digestion.
Ginger water has many benefits, especially for the digestive system.
Dr. Lohia cites a review in the American medical journal American Family Physician that demonstrated the effectiveness of ginger in reducing nausea caused by chemotherapy. She said that drinking ginger water in the morning on an empty stomach is best. The reason is that this can amplify the effects of ginger, allowing the compounds in ginger to have a more direct effect on the intestinal mucosa. It is like waking up the intestines in the morning, facilitating the digestive process during the day, according to the Indian Express .
Dr. Lohia says the antioxidant power of ginger water on an empty stomach may be particularly powerful because it interacts directly with the gut lining, potentially providing the first line of defense against the onslaught of toxins and stressors during the day.
