According to registered dietitian Jane Leverich, consuming ginger alongside food may help reduce digestive discomfort such as nausea and bloating. Studies indicate ginger may also support gastric emptying, helping food move more efficiently through the stomach, though evidence on this remains limited.
Medical experts note that ginger’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help calm the digestive system. It may also support better blood sugar regulation, which can prevent post-meal fatigue and energy crashes.
Experts clarify that ginger does not act as a stimulant. Any increase in energy is likely due to improved digestion, steadier blood sugar levels, and increased satiety.
Ginger may be especially beneficial when consumed with heavy, high-fat or high-fiber meals. Fresh ginger is considered more effective for digestion due to higher gingerol content, while dried or ground ginger may still help relieve nausea and general discomfort.
