Improve brain function and protect against Alzheimer’s disease
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress can speed up the aging process. They're thought to be one of the main causes of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment as people become older.
According to certain animal studies, the antioxidants and bioactive compounds in ginger help reduce inflammatory responses in the brain. Anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antiarthritic, antiemetic, and neuroprotective properties are among ginger's key pharmacological properties. Recent research has shown that ginger improves cognitive function in people with a variety of cognitive disorders as well as healthy people. Daily dosages of ginger extract were demonstrated to increase response speed and working memory in a 2012 research on healthy middle-aged women. Furthermore, numerous animal studies have shown that ginger can help protect against age-related decline in brain function.
