Have you ever considered what happens to your body when you make ginger a regular part of your diet? Packed with potent bioactive compounds, ginger has been a cornerstone of traditional medicine for centuries, renowned for its ability to enhance overall health. From supporting digestion and reducing inflammation to promoting heart health, this versatile root is a powerhouse of wellness.
Boosts Digestive Health
Ginger is a natural solution for various digestive issues. Its active compounds stimulate saliva, bile, and gastric enzymes, helping to improve digestion and alleviate common problems like bloating or indigestion. It’s particularly effective in reducing nausea and vomiting, making it a popular remedy for pregnant women dealing with morning sickness. By incorporating ginger into your diet, you can experience the profound benefits of prioritizing gut health.
Combats Inflammation
The bioactive compound in ginger, known as gingerol, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Regular consumption of ginger can help alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions like arthritis, reducing pain and swelling. If you’re managing chronic inflammation, adding ginger to your meals is a simple yet effective way to support joint health and improve overall mobility.
Supports Heart Health
Ginger also offers significant benefits for your heart. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help lower cholesterol levels, improve circulation, and reduce blood clotting. These effects contribute to lower blood pressure and better cardiovascular health, highlighting how natural ingredients like ginger can play a role in supporting your heart.
A Small Change, Big Rewards
Whether it’s adding a slice of ginger to your tea or incorporating it into your favorite recipes, this simple habit can deliver substantial health benefits. By making ginger a regular part of your daily diet, you’ll discover how small, natural changes can have a powerful impact on your well-being.
Take the first step toward better health—let ginger show you how easy it is to nourish your body with nature’s best.
Parents say goodbye to their newborn as life support is switched off, then he starts breathing immediately
Most moms will agree pregnancy and labor can be a scary time and all you want is to deliver a healthy baby, kicking and screaming.
But one mom was faced with the unthinkable when her baby boy was born with medical issues that left him on a ventilator.
Lisa Hough shared an image of her sweet baby grandson born to her daughter Chelsea and also shared the unthinkable tough decision that her daughter had been faced with.
The mom of three and nana of two said her grandson Karson had been born with many medical complications.
“The only way to describe what has happened is that this beautiful baby boy has suffered two very rare traumatic conditions that are completely unrelated to one another,” Nana Lisa shared on her Facebook page.
She added her newborn baby grandson had suffered a “hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe” and had also been diagnosed with a rare, genetic, metabolic disorder called Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).
“His case is presented as severe and would cause him to be severely neurologically impaired – functioning at a 2-3 month old level at best for his lifetime,” Lisa wrote.
His mom, given all the information from the medical staff around her, made the incredibly tough decision to take him off life support.
Lisa wrote of the heartbreaking moment they had to say goodbye to their sweet little one.
“While we weren’t ready to say goodbye to Karson, we had come to terms with the inevitable. We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told he would not breath on his own and to expect his heart to stop within those 10 minutes.
But, according to Lisa, it seemed “God had other plans” and said she and her daughter witnessed a miracle.
“He immediately started breathing on his own once the ventilator was removed, heart rate and oxygen stabilized, and here we are 5 hours later with this miracle baby that we were told would never breath, swallow, have gag reflexes, or even survive. He is breathing unassisted.
“He is swallowing. He is surviving. He even has slightly opened his eyes a couple times today.”
She said his doctors had no explanation for what happened saying no medical or science data supports this little fighter surviving; the only explanation they have is that it’s a miracle.
“I’m not sure why I ever thought we were so underserving of a miracle…and I’m not sure how long we have with him, but we have him now. And now we will take,” Lisa wrote.
Finally, on March 1, she and her family were given the joyous news that their tiny bundle of joy would be coming home that week.
“Every day, I am brought to my knees, and just when I think God is done, I am quickly reminded that he isn’t….I have no words for my gratitude and I will praise Him for as long as I have air in my lungs for giving Karson his,” Lisa wrote.
From her very first post, commenters were fully supportive of the journey, celebrating the survival of Karson with more than 30,000 reactions to the post announcing the wonderful news that Karson survived and is thriving
