Uncle Li, 60 years old, a retired postman, suddenly felt unwell while climbing a mountain and hurried to the hospital.
The doctor gave him a comprehensive examination, and the results showed that Uncle Li's body was fine except for mild arthritis and common insomnia in old age. The doctor advised him to take care of rest and diet.
Uncle Li is a lover of Chinese medicine. When he returned home, he began to consume ginger every day.
His theory was: "Ginger can dissipate cold, my old bones don't hurt so much, and I can sleep well at night." The neighbors laughed at him and said that ginger could cure diseases, but they had never heard of it.
Time flies, and a year has passed. Uncle Li not only reduced the symptoms of arthritis, but also significantly improved his sleep quality. This made him even more convinced of the miraculous power of ginger.
One day, while chatting with his neighbors after dinner, he said, "Do you know? I think ginger not only improves sleep, but also has an anti-tumor effect!"
The neighbors laughed: "Uncle Li, are you too naïve? How can ginger be anti-tumor?"
Uncle Li swore and said: "I read a study that mentioned that gingerol contained in ginger has an inhibitory effect on certain types of cancer cells.
Of course, I'm not saying that eating ginger can prevent cancer 100%, but the health benefits definitely do. ”
The neighbors were skeptical, but were also infected by his enthusiasm and began to take an interest in ginger.
Uncle Li happily explained to everyone: "Ginger is best fresh, sliced or crushed, soaked in water and drunk, or added to dishes." But remember, the amount should not be too large, ginger is hot, and it is not good to eat too much. ”
In this way, Uncle Li became the "ginger ambassador" in the community, he often explained the benefits of ginger to everyone, and even organized a "ginger lover group".
One day, the doctor from the hospital came to the community by chance and heard the story of Uncle Li. The doctor smiled and said, "Uncle Li, your ginger theory actually has a certain scientific basis.
Ginger does contain a variety of health-promoting ingredients, such as gingerol, which is good for the digestive system and can indeed relieve joint pain and improve sleep.
As for anti-tumor, although there is still a lack of direct clinical evidence, it does have its positive effects as a daily health supplement. ”
The doctor's words surprised everyone, and they all said that they would start trying to incorporate ginger into the lifestyle.

At this point, the story seems to have come to a successful end. But Uncle Li suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Then do you know why ginger and honey soaked in water can relieve cough and sore throat?"
The doctor smiled and replied, "This is because ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect, while honey moistens the throat." The combination of the two can both reduce the discomfort of a sore throat and suppress coughing.
However, it should be noted that ginger and honey are not medicines, they are just health products in daily life, which are effective for minor throat discomfort, but if the symptoms are severe, you should still seek medical attention in time. ”
This answer not only answered Uncle Li's doubts, but also made everyone more interested in the combination of ginger and honey.
Uncle Li's ginger group has added another topic to the conversation, and everyone is discussing how to make healthy drinks with ginger and honey.
And the story of Uncle Li has also spread in the community and has become a good story.
