Ginger is suitable for eating in summer.

There is a folk saying in my country that "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer", which shows that eating ginger in summer has health-preserving effects. The benefit of eating ginger in summer is: due to the hot summer, people are accustomed to coolness and like to take cold and cool products. They also feel the night cold at night, which is prone to summer heat and dampness, which affects the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people have a bad appetite in summer and feel tired after eating less. In this case, drink some ginger soup or add more ginger when cooking, which can dispel cold and heat.

Eating ginger in the morning in summer is the best way to maintain health. The reason is that ginger is best at promoting the yang energy of the Yangming Sutra. In the morning, when qi and blood flow into the Yangming stomach meridian, eating ginger at this time will generate stomach qi and promote digestion. Moreover, ginger is pungent and warm, which can speed up blood flow and has a refreshing effect.

3. Different uses of ginger have different effects in preventing and treating diseases. From a treatment perspective, ginger brown sugar water is only suitable for colds due to wind-cold or chills and fever after being exposed to rain. It cannot be used for summer-heat colds or wind-heat colds, and it cannot be used to treat heatstroke. Taking fresh ginger juice can cure vomiting caused by cold, but it should not be used for other types of vomiting.

4. Rotten ginger is toxic. Rotting ginger produces a highly toxic organic compound, safrole, which can denature liver cells and induce cancer. Therefore, some people think that rotten ginger can be eaten and "rotten ginger does not taste rotten", but this is actually wrong.
