Recently, many international studies have also confirmed the role of ginger in supporting the liver and kidneys to eliminate toxins, reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation.
According to the Center for integrative Medicine Johns Hopkins (USA), the active ingredients gingerol and shogaol in ginger have strong antioxidant properties, helping to protect liver cells from damage caused by alcohol, drugs or fatty foods. In addition, these active ingredients also have a mild diuretic effect, helping to increase the excretion of uric acid and toxins through the urine, supporting the kidneys to function more effectively.
When used properly and combined with healthy foods, we can significantly reduce the load on the liver while improving the kidneys detoxification function, says Dr. Amy Myers, a natural nutritionist (USA).
