Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a famous dietary spice rich in bioactive components like gingerols, and it has been used for a long time as food and medicine. Indeed, clinical studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of ginger. Thus, ginger seems to be an excellent complementary nutritional strategy for non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. This narrative review aims to discuss the possible effects of ginger on the mitigation of common complications such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut dysbiosis in NCD.
生姜（Zingiber officinale）是一种著名的食用香料，富含姜辣素等生物活性成分，长期以来一直被用作食品和药物。事实上，临床研究已经证实了生姜的抗炎和抗氧化特性。因此，生姜似乎是肥胖症、糖尿病、心血管疾病和慢性肾病等非传染性疾病（NCD）的一种极好的补充营养策略。本综述旨在讨论生姜对减轻 NCD 常见并发症（如炎症、氧化应激和肠道菌群失调）的可能作用。
