I have lived in India and have good experience with Siddha medicine. My Dr. used to always say don't believe hearsay that fresh amla is better than dried, or fresh ginger is better than dried powder. Each one has its own effect. Even sugar taken in different sizes has different effect on the body according to him. Anyways, I never took it seriously and always used to think a fresh version of the product is better than dried. Today I saw in this video how dried ginger called Sukku in Siddha has some compounds that fresh ginger misses! And it was a revelation for me! Sukku is specifically used to treat obesity and diseases of the blood vessels in Siddha, not fresh Ginger - which is used more for digestive and muscle-skeleton diseases.

[@Vanessa-bk4nv]

Fascinating! So Siddha medicine already knew this, and scientists are just catching up ;-)

[@zeemusic]

Though proponents of Siddha and Ayurveda in India will claim they had everything that western science is just catching up with now, in my opinion we can't say such a thing for even this dried vs fresh ginger. These traditional medicinal systems definitely have a treasure trove of knowledge. On using herbs and amazing concoctions of natural stuff for treating diseases. And most of them seem to work and even stand the rigors of scientific tests. But their science was different. Their way of doing science I believe was not PhDs publishing peer reviewed papers. It was more of learning through instinct and experience over hundreds of years. So I always tell friends neither discount such traditional systems as non-scientific nor go gaga over them as knowing everything! Similarly always take peer reviewed papers with a grain of salt. Including the ones we see on this channel as proof of say Amla reduces cholesterol or ginger helps the liver.

Buy fresh ginger root (preferably organic due to where it is grown), wash but don’t peel. Rough chop. Grind in high speed blender. Freeze in teaspoon or tablespoon sized pats. Voila - no more wasted ginger. Can be used in drinks, teas, sauces, and marinades. Ginger is a miracle.

I talked to a Pakistani ayurvedic doctor that I trust and he told me that 1 tsp per day for a tea would be way too much and it would lead to a wrinkly, dry skin after some time. He suggested using some slices of fresh ginger for a tea instead. It is milder and doesn't have the same negative effects.

The study on dried ginger showed a bump in metabolic rate after consuming it, while a different study on fresh ginger showed no increase in metabolic rate. So dried ginger may work better for weight loss.

[@beautifulvillian405]

The dried ginger small stronger than fresh on. But fresh one is hotter. I recommend you use both of them. This kind of plant is like ginseng. Fresh one have more amount of some vitamin, but dried one have more amount of some nutrition. Just make sure the fresh one it's not the 'young'. If you got the young one, you and rest it 3-5 day before use.

[@beautifulvillian405]

I meant, it's like the ginseng that, dry one have more amount of some nutrition 😆 but fresh on is good too. I usually cook and make drink from the fresh one because it's lot easier. People in my country consum fresh one everyday so I can find it every corner of market, so the dried one will be use in traditional herb and medical industry. Last year I had to order dried ginger from traditional herb and medical company in large amount to eat. It was too complicated and more expensive .

[@beautifulvillian405]

It's good to add lemon juice or lime juice in ginger drink. People in my country like putting honey into it, too. For food, we always put ginger, chilis, salt, and lime juice. We cook ginger a lot (I just cooked it yesterday and There're 500 g. Of Ginger left in my kitchen to cook and make ginger drink) 🤗

[@DivergentMoon]

Got it. I was just about to make ginger tea from fresh. I have FLD. So I'll do dried ginger to get those special compounds the fresh doesn't have. Also make from fresh tea because it tastes good. THis give me an idea, though. I often flavor my casseroles with chopped fresh onion as well as dried. Same with garlic. I think I'll do the same with ginger when I use it. It adds another layer to the flavor. And is healthier.

I was recently diagnosed with a fatty liver. I was also overweight, and also had high blood pressure. I did the one meal a day diet for a month and my liver is now back to normal, I have lost over a stone in weight (13.5 stones to 12.1 stones), and my blood pressure is now back to a healthy reading. I also feel a lot better with more energy. I have a treadmill at home and can run for longer and I am not out of breath at the end. I am also saving money and watch what I eat. I make what I eat count. The first week was hard as my body adjusted to not having regular meals, but after a week I didn't feel hungry. I drank a lot of water throughout the day. This worked for me but may not work for everyone and may also be dangerous. Get some medical advice before giving it a try. I BELIEVE THE ONE MEAL A DAY DIET IS THE ANSWER TO AN OVERWEIGHT SOCIETY AND A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS THAT COME WITH IT.

[@rodee1671]

Warm water certainly must have contributed somewhat.

Off topic question. Some years ago, I heard a claim that certain foods should be eaten together, at the same meal, to maximize nutrition/weight loss benefits, as they are not as powerful when they are eaten at separate meals. I scoffed at such a claim which is why I didn't note the source or food combo. I'm just wondering ... Is there any merit in such a claim, or was I right to be sceptical?

Ginger ain't dirt cheap when you buy it fresh, that I can tell you. x)

[@beautifulvillian405]

They're 2 type of fibers are Ginger (the big head one), and fingerroot (the long slim one) that I eat. They both are amazing. If you're the beginner, you can begin from the fingerroot. Less hot but have benefits, too. They both are good for Mather's breasts, and warm body, decreased fat and sugar levels. I make ginger drink buy boil 400 g. chopped ginger in 3.5 liters water for 20 minutes, drink 1.30 hours before bed time. And chopped the finger one like noodle, and cook with fish in any food. Put more fingerroot in the food, it's more delicious and no hot at all. You will be sad if you cook few of it 😂

Yes Traditional Chinese medicine do use ginger together with many other different herbs. But in more recent times, a Chinese physician incorporated ginger as the main medicine in his therapy. He has develop such a simplistic effective therapy system that free therapy centers appear all over Asia started by people who watch and learn the methods online.

I work in a restaurant supply / grocery store. the store I'm at has the busiest produce of most of our stores. Because we're so close to Microsoft headquarters we have a lot of out of country workers many of them are Indian, we have so many Indian restaurants in our area many are vegetarian. The point I'm getting at is I see what the people who are not overweight purchase, that seem to be healthy. Ginger, garlic, various green vegetables, peppers, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach and mustard seed, lots of basmati rice, etc. Recently, my girlfriend had a urge to have some Taco Bell and I saw one Indian familiy going down the poor food choice path. They were not overweight and hopefully they only go there once in a blue moon. My girlfriend has Crohn's disease and she had 6inches of her bowels removed 2 years ago, and sometimes nothing tastes good and she needs to have some bad stuff.
