Health Benefits of Ginger (Our Favorite Superfood)

Ginger may be one of our most favored superfoods of all time, which is why you might see it packed into so many of our different juice blends. Beyond the satisfying kick of spice it adds to a variety of our flavors, the health benefits of ginger overpower its mighty taste. This powerful ingredient carries many wellness-supporting properties that improve our overall wellbeing, promotes a radiant glow that starts from within, and so much more.

So, What Makes Ginger So Great?

Promotes Immunity Health

Ginger has been utilized as a homeopathic remedy for many cold-related illnesses for centuries. Although there is no conclusive evidence indicating that ginger can help fight off a cold, many studies point to the fact that it may help prevent them before they hit. One particular study even showed ginger exhibited antiviral properties in respiratory infection models! Plus, it can help combat the nausea that comes with pre-sickness symptoms so you can take on the day feeling like yourself.

If you ever feel a cold coming on, sip in the goodness of ginger to try and kick your cold to the curb with our Immunity Support Pack! This bundle is loaded with even more immunity-supporting ingredients to provide you with 1,350% of your daily Vitamin C and 188% of Zinc for a stronger and healthier you!

Aids Digestion & Bloat Relief

A natural component of ginger root is gingerol, which can help aid and support your digestive health. It is believed to speed up our gastrointestinal tract's digestion process while protecting the stomach lining. Because ginger helps speed along the process of emptying out the lingering food and particles in your stomach, it may also help relieve bloating and help you achieve less discomfort after a period of indigestion.

If you are dealing with an upset stomach or feeling a little off track, try taking our Reset | ACV Shot! This ginger shot has more wellness-supporting ingredients such as pineapple, apple cider vinegar, and lime to soothe your upset stomach, aid in cellular repair and renewal, decrease inflammation, and modulate blood sugar levels!

Supports Joint Health

Ginger holds many anti-inflammatory properties that support an overload of your body's defenses but can particularly help with joint health. One of the benefits of ginger root is that it endorses the body's natural inflammatory response. In a 3-month controlled study, two groups of participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis were given ginger, while the others received a placebo. Results showed that the group that consumed ginger had better immune system regulation and decreased pro-inflammatory genes.

For enhanced joint support, sip on a blend that provides both turmeric and ginger benefits for a greater blend of anti-inflammatory properties. Thanks to the active ingredient curcumin, turmeric can help reduce pain and inflammation. Try incorporating our Immunity Shot 6-Pack into your routine to get the daily vitamins you need to support your immunity and joints!

Promotes A Healthy Glow

As mentioned, ginger is high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are highly beneficial for good health. Because of the trace levels of functional properties packed into this small yet mighty superfood, studies show that it can help promote healthy aging by protecting skin from oxidative stress. The antioxidant properties of gingerol can reduce free radical activity, which can ultimately result in reduced cell damage and promote healthy skin.
