Our brain health and functions respond to our environment, the food we eat and daily activities. Adding ginger root to your daily diet can help prevent the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation. By preventing oxidative stress and inflammation from occurring to the brain, you can preserve your memory, reduce the occurrence of headaches and prevent degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
