2. Reduced Inflammation: A Natural Pain Reliever
Chronic inflammation is linked to arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.
Enter gingerol — the main bioactive compound in ginger — a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent.
Daily ginger consumption can:
- Reduce joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Lower inflammatory markers like CRP (C-reactive protein)
- Ease muscle soreness after exercise
A 2013 study published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage found that ginger extract significantly reduced knee pain in people with osteoarthritis — with few side effects.
