What are the benefits of drinking ginger soup in summer?

There is a saying in Chinese folk that "ginger cures all diseases" because ginger contains oily volatile oils such as gingerol, zingiberene, phellandrene, citral and aromatics; as well as gingerol, resin, starch and fiber. So what are the benefits of drinking ginger soup in summer?

Benefits of drinking ginger soup

1. In the high temperature of midsummer, various germs multiply actively. If you are not careful, you will get sick from the mouth, which can easily cause abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea and other acute gastroenteritis symptoms. Drinking some ginger soup properly can play a preventive role. Ginger can play the role of certain antibiotics, especially against Salmonella.

2. In order to avoid the heat in summer, people are used to using fans, air conditioners, and even sleeping outdoors, which can easily lead to exogenous colds and air conditioning diseases. If you can drink a bowl of ginger soup in time, it will help to dispel the cold and relieve the symptoms.

3. Ginger can "refresh the mind". In summer, when a person faints due to heat stroke, drinking a cup of ginger juice can quickly wake the patient up. For patients with general heatstroke, symptoms of dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness and nausea, eating some ginger soup every day is also very beneficial.

4. The summer heat is unbearable. Some people like to take a cool bath or sleep outdoors, which will cause the shoulders and back to be invaded by pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and dampness. Especially for the elderly, it is easy to cause periarthritis of the shoulder. Drinking ginger soup instead of tea can effectively resist the invasion of pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and dampness.

5. Prevent arteriosclerosis: Gargle with hot ginger soup every morning and evening, and drink a bowl of hot ginger soup before going to bed every day. This can promote blood circulation and prevent arteriosclerosis.
