Health benefits of ginger mint tea

Ginger mint tea has long been known to have numerous health benefits. These include helping to reduce headaches, alleviating arthritic pain and inflammation, boosting the immunity system, aiding digestion, reducing anxiety and depression, lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics, fighting cancer cells, improving mental alertness and concentration span, preventing bacterial growth in the body and improving bone strength.

Other benefits of ginger mint tea

– Helps to reduce the risk of heart attack by lowering cholesterol levels (it reduces LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure). These effects can be attributed to its high magnesium content. The anti-inflammatory qualities in ginger help prevent atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

– Aids in weight loss by increasing the body’s metabolic rate, resulting in more calories being burnt off. This is because it contains high levels of pungent turmeric (turmeric is a natural stimulant) which speeds up the metabolism and aids digestion, promoting better elimination of waste products from the body.

– Prevents cancer by promoting better digestion and boosting the immune system.

– Inhibits bacteria from growing in the body as it is a natural antibiotic. Ginger extract is as effective as penicillin, streptomycin, and other antibiotics against certain types of bacteria. It also contains compounds that have been found to be especially effective against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium responsible for stomach ulcers.

– Helps reduce muscle pain after exercise because it reduces lactic acid build-up in the muscles. It is also known to increase the circulation of blood and oxygen supply to the brain, making it more alert. This makes ginger tea an effective drink for preventing migraines. It also reduces menstrual cramps by promoting better circulation of blood to the uterus and alleviating uterine spasms.

– Ginger tea is refreshing, tastes good, and contains almost no calories.

Note: The high levels of pungent turmerics in ginger can upset some people’s stomachs and cause heartburn and nausea. If you suffer from acidity or ulcers, it may be best to avoid ginger tea even though the health benefits of ginger mint tea far outweigh any negative effects.
