Why you should consider adding ginger to your diet Health benefits of ginger. Ginger contains vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium, which are all valuable to your health. But ginger’s secret weapon is one of its natural oils: gingerol. Natural oils give ginger its unique flavor and smell, and gingerol — ginger’s most important oil — has powerful medicinal properties. It reduces inflammation, works as an antioxidant, and offers numerous other benefits to your health: Helps with osteoarthritis pain. Ginger will not necessarily bring you immediate pain relief. But for inflammation-related conditions, such as osteoarthritis, studies show that ginger improves pain and stiffness over time. While earlier research studied the effects of ginger when consumed, newer studies are focusing on the effects of applying ginger oil topically to relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis. Improves blood sugar regulation. New research is finding that gingerol helps keep blood sugar levels steady — an important factor in managing the long-term effects of diabetes. One small study showed that taking just 2 grams of powdered ginger supplement daily noticeably lowered fasting blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Another study found that consuming ginger powder for 12 weeks improved insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes.
