Ginger may have a profound and positive effect in reducing the risk and treatment of cardiovascular disease, some studies found.
The cardiovascular disease is a medical condition associated with the heart and blood vessels, depending on the location of blood clots.
Most common causes of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis caused by plaque accumulated on the wall of the arteries, leading to reduced rich oxygenated blood flow to the heart, a major cause of the death of heart cells.
According to the John Hopkins statistics, approximately 84 million people in the US suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, causing about 2,200 deaths a day, averaging one death every 40 seconds.
Sadly to know that almost one out of every three deaths results from cardiovascular disease.
Epidemiologically, certain risk factors are found to associate with the onset of the condition, including lack of exercise, diabetes, use of tobacco, gender, genetic preposition, and excessive alcohol drinking.
However, poor diet was one of the preventable risk factors in the Western world. Researchers suggested that there is no coincidence but a correlation of the widespread cardiovascular disease in the US and the promotion of the Western diet over the past many decades.
Diet high in saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed food and few in fruits and vegetables and whole grain have a strong and positive implication in the promotion of the onset of the disease.
Dr. Sonia S. Anand, the lead scientist in the study "Food Consumption and its impact on Cardiovascular Disease: Importance of Solutions focused on the globalized food system" said, "Evidence from different countries, age/race/ethnicity/socioeconomic groups suggest the health effects studies of foods, macronutrients, and dietary patterns on CVD appear to be far more consistent though regional knowledge gaps are highlighted".
And, "Poor quality diets are high in refined grains and added sugars, salt, unhealthy fats, and animal-source foods; and low in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish and nuts ( are associated to the onset of CVD)"
Therefore, by teaching the general public the role of diet that can prevent CVD, the writers continued, "a healthier food supply enables individuals to make healthier choices. Developing food systems that underpin healthier dietary patterns based on our consensus noted above involves improving the food supply by producing more heart-healthy foods and fewer foods associated with CVD".
These results clearly stated, a healthy diet with high in fruits and vegetable, whole grain fewer saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed foods can substantially reduce the risk of CVD.
Ginger officinale or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to reconfirm the effects of ginger for the treatment of many aspects of cardiovascular disease, Dr. Nicoll R and colleagues conducted a study to look into ginger anti-cardiovascular disease activity.
In the animal model, application of ginger demonstrated a significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypolipidemic effect to protect the tested animal against the onset of cardiovascular disease.
Ginger and the selected spices showed a strongly cardioprotective effect through their antioxidant, chemopreventive, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.

In the animal model, application of ginger demonstrated a significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypolipidemic effect to protect the tested animal against the onset of cardiovascular disease.
In the human trial, dosages of 5 g or more demonstrated significant antiplatelet activity.
These results suggested that ginger may have the potential to offer not only a cheaper natural alternative to conventional agents but one with significantly lower side effects.
Futhermore in the concern of the widespread of cardiovascular diseases in the Western world and the leading cause of death worldwide, researchers at the Katedra Technologii Żywienia Człowieka evaluated the effects of kitchen spice on the condition.
At the final report of the study, Dr. Kulczyński B, said, "selected spices (garlic, cinnamon, ginger, coriander, and turmeric) (may be used )in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases".
Taken altogether, ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular disease with no side effects.
