There are 6 reasons to have ginger jam in the house during Tet holiday.

Digestive support

Ginger is your best friend when it comes to digestion. Ginger can help control indigestion, which is caused by a sluggish digestive system. Gingerol, a natural compound in ginger, can help treat indigestion by speeding up the movement of food through the stomach. Studies have shown that taking ginger before meals significantly improves symptoms of indigestion.

The body needs stomach acid to digest food, ginger stimulates the production of stomach acid to help the digestion process go smoothly.

The plant compounds in ginger also help in the absorption of nutrients and minerals from food in the gut.

Ginger can also reduce fermentation, constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas - common problems during the holidays, according to Johns Hopkins Hospital (USA).

May promote fat loss

Ginger may also reduce fermentation, constipation, and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas.

Animal studies have shown that ginger can help inhibit the creation and accumulation of body fat and reduce fat mass.

May increase calorie burn

Ginger has been shown to increase the “thermic effect of food” – the amount of energy it takes for the body to digest, absorb and metabolize the food you eat. Ginger increases this effect, helping you burn more calories.

Helps lose weight

Ginger may play a role in weight loss, according to research. A 2019 review concluded that ginger supplementation significantly reduced weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and hip-to-hip ratio in overweight or obese people.

Ginger's weight loss benefits may be due to its ability to reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that consuming ginger helps overweight people reduce inflammatory cytokines (a marker of inflammation).

Helps control appetite

Research shows that ginger helps overweight men reduce hunger, according to The Ginger People.

That is why ginger jam is indispensable during Tet! However, because ginger jam contains a lot of sugar, it should be consumed in moderation.
