GINGER – Here’s what situations you should avoid
-
People who have problems with their stomach or lungs.
Ginger should not be used by people with inflammation of the stomach or lungs. People with gallstones should consult their doctor before resorting to ginger treatment, as ginger is a colagog.
-
Pregnant women.
Ginger contains very strong natural stimuli that could lead to premature contractions. Therefore, you should avoid ginger during pregnancy.
-
Chronic patients.
If you take any medicine for any illness, always consult your doctor if you want to eat ginger. If you suffer from hemophilia and are under treatment, you should know that ginger is canceling the effect of the medicine. It is risky to combine ginger and anticoagulants, beta-blockers and insulin-based drugs.
-
Underweight people.
Ginger is an amazing root for people who want to lose weight because it lowers appetite, speeds up metabolism and melts fat. Therefore, those who try to gain weight naturally should avoid it.
-
People with blood disorders.
Ginger stimulates blood flow, so it can aggravate the condition of these patients. Ginger should also be avoided for two weeks prior to surgery.
