As people age, our brains age and decline, too, but diet may be the key to preventing brain aging. According to Dr. Takuji Shirasawa, a Japanese brain surgeon, ginger can help the brain eliminate toxins, prevent brain aging and dementia, and enhance immunity.
Ginger is a plant that originated in Maritime Southeast Asia and was introduced and cultivated in Japan more than 2,600 years ago. The root of ginger is widely used in Japanese cuisine. It helps relieve summer fatigue, warms the body in winter, and boosts the immune system when eaten in moderation.
