What is Gingerol?
What is Gingerol：Gingerol is a phytochemical and one of the pungent components found in large quantities in fresh ginger.Phytochemicals are a general term for chemical substances produced by plants to protect themselves from ultraviolet rays and external predators.The name gingerol comes from the English name for ginger, "ginger."Gingerol is one of the main active ingredients found in ginger, along with zingerone and shogaol.When ginger is heated or dried, gingerol transforms into zingerone and shogaol, which have distinctive aromas.Gingerol has various functions, including antibacterial properties, activating immune cells, promoting bile secretion, and relieving nausea and headaches.
Ginger, which contains gingerol, has been incorporated into Japanese cuisine due to its functions.Gari, which is eaten with sushi, is a prime example of utilizing the antibacterial properties of gingerol, found in the ginger itself. The gingerol contained in pickled ginger eliminates the fishy smell of raw fish used in sushi and helps prevent food poisoning.Gingerol and shogaol also share common functions, such as dilating blood vessels and acting as antioxidants.Ginger compresses and ginger baths made from grated ginger are effective ways to improve blood circulation, as the ginger extract, which contains gingerol, can be absorbed through the skin.
Effective Ways to Intake Gingerol：Gingerol is sensitive to oxygen, so if it is heated in contact with oxygen, it will oxidize and will no longer be able to perform its intended function.Therefore, when ingesting gingerol, it is important not to heat the ginger and to minimize its exposure to air as much as possible.For example, if you are eating grated ginger on chilled tofu, you can more effectively consume gingerol by grating it just before eating.
Potential Effects of Gingerol：Suppresses nausea and headaches: Gingerol is thought to be able to suppress nausea and headaches caused by hangovers and morning sickness.
Nausea and headaches have various causes, but the neurotransmitter serotonin is deeply involved in their symptoms.
Nausea and headaches are thought to be caused by serotonin stimulating the vomiting center, and because gingerol has anti-serotonin properties, it is said to be able to suppress the effects of serotonin and suppress nausea and headaches.
Effective in alleviating feelings of chill: It is believed that the effects of gingerol and shogaol, which is formed when gingerol is denatured by heating, have the effect of alleviating feelings of chill.Feelings of chill are caused by poor circulation, and symptoms such as sensitivity to cold are said to be caused by circulatory disorders in the peripheral blood vessels.
When you become sensitive to cold, in addition to symptoms such as cold hands and feet, you may also experience other symptoms such as headaches and stiff shoulders, and improving blood flow is one effective way of alleviating these symptoms.
Diet effects: Gingerol is said to be an effective ingredient for dieting. Gingerol improves blood flow, which is said to activate the body's metabolism，and increase energy consumption. It is thought that if energy metabolism improves as a result of promoting blood flow, energy consumption will increase.
