The Benefits of Men Eating Ginger

Increase appetite and slow down aging. Middle-aged and elderly men often experience weakness due to stomach cold and loss of appetite. They can frequently consume fresh ginger slices to stimulate gastric acid secretion and promote digestion.
Fresh ginger is not as dry as dried ginger, it is moisturizing without damaging Yin. Cut four or five thin slices of fresh ginger every day, drink a cup of warm water in the morning, then chew the ginger slices slowly in your mouth, let the smell of ginger spread in the oral cavity, and spread to the intestines and stomach and outside the nostrils.
2. Benefits of eating dried ginger
