GALANGAL ROOT HEALTH BENEFITS:
Galangal root is a spice that is related to ginger and turmeric. It is often used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine as a treatment. It can give your food flavor, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. It may also be good for your health in a lot of ways.
◉ Galangal is high in antioxidants- Galangal has a lot of polyphenols, which are a type of antioxidant. Studies have shown that polyphenols help with cognition by improving memory, lowering your LDL cholesterol (the bad kind), which helps prevent heart disease, and lowering blood sugar, which helps prevent diabetes from starting.
◉ Contains anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties- “Galangal has also been shown to have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. This means that it helps reduce inflammation, which can cause joint pain, and protects the body from harmful microorganisms and bacteria. This keeps diseases and parasites from spreading, “Zeitlin explains.
◉ Helps improve male fertility- Some studies show that eating galangal root may also make men more fertile. But most of the research that has been done so far has been done on animals or in test tubes, and there aren’t many published studies that link galangal root directly to these benefits in people. Because of this, we need more solid scientific research before we can come to any firm conclusions.
Also, more research needs to be done to figure out how much galangal root a person can safely eat to get these health benefits and avoid any possible side effects.
◉ Contains active, cancer-fighting compounds- Studies in test tubes have shown that galangin, a type of flavonoid found in galangal root, and other properties in the spice have some promising anti-cancer effects on a number of different types of cancer, including leukemia, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, hepatoma, colon cancer, and more. Again, more research on humans is needed to find out if these active compounds really do help stop the growth and spread of some cancer cells.
