Help lower cholesterol levels

LDL (bad) cholesterol levels above a certain level are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Foods you consume might have a big impact on your LDL levels.

The 30 people who got 5 grams of ginger-pasted powder every day for three months had their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels drop by 17.4%, according to a 2018 study of 60 people with hyperlipidemia. While the reduction in LDL is significant, it's worth noting that the participants in the research were given high dosages of ginger. The dosages used in the hyperlipidemia study are five to ten times greater. Most people are unlikely to be able to sustain a 5-gram dosage for long enough to notice effects. People who took 3 grams of ginger powder (in capsule form) every day observed substantial decreases in major cholesterol markers in an older study from 2008. Over the course of 45 days, their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels decreased by 10%.
