Slow metabolism in winter? Eat ginger to improve gut health, fight bloating and asthma

With various holidays and multiple outings, winter offers access to a diverse range of foods. However, bloating and feelings of heaviness are also common due to slow digestion, which can be caused by changes in diet and hydration deficiency during the season. Ginger is known to improve digestion, gut, and lung health in winter.

Key Highlights

  • The capacity of ginger to accelerate the passage of food from the stomach into the small intestine is one of its most obvious advantages.
  • This procedure is called gastric emptying.
  • Ginger shortens the amount of time the food remains in the stomach, which is the primary advantage of this early breakdown stage.
  • Additionally, this helps lessen symptoms like indigestion, bloating, and that familiar feeling of overeating.
  • Consuming ginger regularly can be beneficial after eating large, fatty, and rich meals during the winter, as per a study published in the National Library of Medicine.
