Unexpected benefits of drinking ginger water when waking up every morning

Dr. G Sushma, clinical nutritionist at CARE Banjara Hills Hospital (India), said: Drinking ginger water on an empty stomach in the morning can aid digestion, reduce nausea, improve blood circulation and boost immunity. It also provides energy to start the day, according to the Indian Express.

Consuming ginger on an empty stomach can help reduce inflammation

Ginger stimulates saliva production and bile secretion, which helps break down food and improve digestion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the digestive tract and reduce discomfort.

Health Benefits of Drinking Ginger on an Empty Stomach

Dr. Sushma explains that regular consumption of ginger on an empty stomach can help reduce inflammation, relieve gastrointestinal problems like bloating and indigestion, enhance nutrient absorption, and promote weight loss.

Additionally, ginger's antioxidant properties may support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Some studies show that ginger can help regulate stomach emptying, which can help prevent acid reflux or heartburn, explains Dr. Mickey Mehta, a pioneer in holistic health coaching in India.

Dr. Sushma adds that drinking ginger water daily on an empty stomach can help relieve nausea, morning sickness (in pregnant women), menstrual cramps, arthritis pain and migraines.

Ginger's anti-inflammatory properties may also help people with osteoarthritis.

Dr. Mehta agrees and adds that drinking ginger water on an empty stomach ensures the beneficial active ingredients in ginger are absorbed more effectively, according to the Indian Express.

Drinking ginger on an empty stomach can help make your day more refreshing.

Recommended dosage

The optimal dosage of ginger may vary depending on individual tolerance and health status, says Dr. Sushma.

Fresh ginger, ginger tea, or ginger supplements can be taken on an empty stomach. In general, it is best to start with a small amount (about 1 gram) and gradually increase as tolerated.

Dr. Mehta concludes that ginger when combined with lemon, honey, turmeric, black pepper, can increase the medicinal effects, while creating delicious and healthy drinks.

Potential risks or side effects

While ginger is generally safe for most people, consuming too much on an empty stomach can lead to gastrointestinal upset for some people, says Dr. Sushma.

Dr. Sushma advises: People with gallstones or who are on blood thinners should be cautious and consult their doctor before consuming ginger regularly, according to Indian Express.
