Over the past few years ginger has been especially popularized for its medicinal and nutritional properties. Its beneficial effects on human health are numerous, for which we have repeatedly written, but this time we will focus on the category of people who should not consume this popular groceries.
Here are the groups of people that should avoid ginger:
Pregnant
Ginger contains powerful stimulants that can cause premature contractions. The root should be avoided especially in the last weeks of pregnancy.
People who are looking to increase their weight
Ginger is the ideal grocery for those who want to lose weight, because it reduces the appetite and helps in the elimination of fat. On the other hand, people who are too weak and try to increase their bodyweight should avoid this root, as well as any supplements containing ginger.
People with blood disorder
Ginger is known to accelerate blood circulation, which is generally a good thing, but not for those who have blood disorders such as hemophilia. In such case this herb may worsen the condition.
People who take medications for regulating blood pressure or diabetes
If you are under treatment for these health problems you fall into a specific risk group when it comes to Ginger, because this herb may affect the metabolizing of the drugs and causing it to act wrong on your body. It is particularly risky to combine ginger with anticoagulants, beta-blockers and drugs based on insulin.
