Proof The Bible Is True

Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition that impairs memory and cognitive abilities, currently affects over 6 million Americans – and causes the death of 83,000 people every year.  Unfortunately, rates of the disease are soaring, with the Alzheimer’s Association predicting that this number will climb to 13 million by the year 2050.

 

Conventional pharmaceutical drugs to address Alzheimer’s disease have shown disappointing results, and researchers are searching urgently for novel therapeutic agents to use against this debilitating condition.  Now, recent research has provided a ray of hope. In a review published in January 2021, the authors reported that ginger combats the oxidative stress, inflammation, and neuron cell death that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Researchers:  Neuroprotective effects of ginger help improve memory and cognition

 

In a review published in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy in 2021, the authors used human, animal, and cell studies to evaluate the effects of ginger – and its bioactive constituents gingerol, shogaol, and borneal – on Alzheimer’s disease.  Scientifically known as Zingiber officinale, ginger is an ancient herb that has been revered in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for centuries for its ability to treat a host of ailments – including coughs, colds, infections, rheumatism, digestive problems, and fevers.  (And yes, ginger has a long history of herbal use for memory problems as well!)

 

The team noted that studies on fish, mice, and humans have consistently shown that ginger can improve memory and cognition.  In one study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, researchers assessed the effects of ginger supplementation on cognitive tasks and working memory in middle-aged women.  The reviewers reported that ginger improved scores for word recognition, spatial working memory, and numeric working memory.  Researchers believe that ginger enhances memory by increasing the expression of a protein known as nerve growth factor (NGF).
