Ginger isn’t just a spice that adds flavor to meals – it’s a true superfood. Used for centuries in natural medicine, eating ginger daily can have a powerful impact on your health from head to toe. Here’s what you can expect when you make this small but mighty habit part of your daily routine.
🌿 1. Your Digestion Gets a Major Boost
Ginger helps stimulate saliva and bile production, supporting smoother digestion. It can relieve bloating, gas, and indigestion, while also helping your stomach empty faster – meaning less discomfort after meals.
❄️ 2. Inflammation Starts to Go Down
Chronic inflammation is linked to many health issues, from joint pain to heart disease. Ginger contains gingerol, a natural anti-inflammatory compound that helps reduce swelling, stiffness, and pain, especially in conditions like arthritis.
💪 3. Your Immune System Gets Stronger
Ginger is full of antioxidants that help your body fight off illness. Regular intake may reduce the frequency and severity of colds, and it can even soothe a sore throat or calm a cough naturally.
💓 4. Your Heart Health May Improve
Ginger can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve blood circulation. It may also regulate blood pressure, supporting overall cardiovascular health when paired with a balanced diet.
🌡️ 5. You May Experience Less Nausea
Ginger is one of the best natural remedies for nausea – whether from motion sickness, pregnancy, or an upset stomach. Just a small amount daily can make a big difference.
🔥 6. Your Metabolism Could Get a Gentle Boost
Some studies suggest that ginger may help increase fat burning and reduce appetite slightly, making it a helpful ally if you’re supporting a healthy weight.
🧠 7. You Stay More Focused and Energized
Thanks to its circulation-boosting and anti-inflammatory effects, many people report better mental clarity and sustained energy when they include ginger regularly in their diet.
How to Add Ginger to Your Day
- Grate fresh ginger into tea or warm lemon water
- Add it to smoothies, soups, or stir-fries
- Try a small slice with honey in the morning for a natural pick-me-up
Tip: About 1–2 grams of fresh ginger per day is enough for most benefits.
Conclusion:
Eating ginger every day is a small habit with big rewards. From better digestion to clearer skin and reduced inflammation, this root has your body covered – naturally and powerfully.
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
