Hydration <\/a>is one of the most important factors if you\u2019re looking to live a healthier lifestyle, and experts recommend that you should drink at least eight glasses of water per day; this might be a little more or less than this number, all depending on individual factors like how active you are and your body weight.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9.    Clean GI Tract
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our gastrointestinal tract contains 70-percent of our immune system<\/a> and requires 60-percent of all the energy we produce to fuel digestion. Everything we eat eventually passes through our GI tract, and people with low immune systems may find they suffer from an imbalance in different forms of bacteria responsible for digestion.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the impaired ability to digest food properly, we build up undigested food particles over time, and they inflame the intestinal wall. This increase in gastrointestinal inflammation spreads to other regions of the body where it exacerbates the symptoms of inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking ginger tea helps to reduce inflammation in the GI tract. The polyphenol antioxidants and flavonoids in ginger tea act as a natural anti-inflammatory agent. In some cases, people with GI conditions such as \u201cleaky gut,\u201d or irritable bowel syndrome, (IBS,) find that drinking the tea every day helps to reduce symptoms dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

10.    Cancer Treatment
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ginger contains the potent plant polyphenols, \u201cGingerol,\u201d found exclusively in high concentrations in the root of the plant. These polyphenols are what give ginger its unique fragrance and pinkish color. Gingerol is similar to curcumin and resveratrol in its inflammation-fighting ability. Some unpublished studies show that cancer cells spread easier in an inflammatory environment within the body.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, using ginger tea every day improves your body’s ability to fight off cancer’s ability to metastasize and spread to other regions of the body. The use of Gingerol in treating women who have breast cancer seems to slow the growth of tumors and prevent the metastasis of the cancer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancer <\/a>patients undergoing Chemotherapy for their condition may benefit from drinking ginger tea on a daily basis. Chemotherapy drugs are toxic on the liver and kidneys, and the anti-inflammatory properties of gingerols help the organs cope with the effects of filtering these toxic compounds and their metabolites out of the bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

11.    Anti-Bacterial Properties
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the American population doesn\u2019t receive the proper nutrition they need for good gut health. More than 40-percent of people living in the U.S eat fast food every day, with lunch being the most popular meal at the drive-thru window.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with its inflammation-fighting benefits, ginger root polyphenol compounds contain antibacterial <\/a>and antimicrobial properties. Modern bacterial superbugs, such as Staphylococcus aureus, and some Streptococcus strains are resistant to antibiotics, making them challenging for the body to kill off if infected.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger root helps to enhance immune response, lowering the chances of infection with these bacterial pathogens. If infected, then you can expect a faster recovery as the antibacterial compounds in ginger root kill invading bacteria.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gingerol polyphenols are no replacement for real antibiotics, but they can improve the efficiency of the drugs. Most antibiotic medicines reduce the number of healthy biomes in the digestive tract. It\u2019s for this reason that doctors typically prescribe a course of probiotics enzymes to accompany the antibiotics.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger helps to improve the intestinal environment and restore levels of beneficial bacteria after the antibiotic treatment. Drink one cup of ginger root tea in the morning and another before bed in the evening to benefit from the potent polyphenol antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12.   Enhance Nutrient Absorption
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the American population doesn\u2019t receive the proper nutrition they need for good gut health. More than 40-percent of people living in the U.S eat fast food every day, with lunch being the most popular meal at the drive-thru window.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A diet low in nutrients and fiber <\/a>eventually leads to the onset of a microbiome bacterial imbalance in your digestive system as the junk food starts to change the intestinal environment. This imbalance prevents your biomes from absorbing all of the nutrition from your diet and further exacerbates the symptoms of gastrointestinal inflammation. This inflamed environment is ideal for the spread of harmful bacteria which cause gastrointestinal disease.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gingerols in ginger root tea reduce intestinal inflammation and eradicate any intrusive bacteria harmful for your gut health. The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties of ginger root cleanse your entire digestive system while enhancing the health of your immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
