There are so many benefits of eating ginger in summer. If you grow a pot of ginger at home, it will be enough for you to eat all year round.

The benefits of eating ginger in summer

1. Prevent heat stroke

The weather is hot in summer, and many people choose to use air conditioning and drink cold drinks to cool down. However, this method can easily lead to emptiness of the spleen and stomach, and the heat in the body cannot be dissipated. Ginger can speed up blood circulation, dilate pores, facilitate sweating, and effectively remove heat and prevent heatstroke.

2. Increase appetite

The weather is hot in summer and the secretion of gastric juice decreases, which will affect people's appetite. If you eat a few slices of ginger while eating, it can increase your appetite.

3. Abdominal pain and diarrhea

The high temperature in summer is particularly prone to diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Drinking some ginger soup at this time can quickly relieve the symptoms.

How to grow ginger

Since ginger has so many benefits, why don’t we grow one ourselves? 1. If you want to grow ginger at home, you must choose healthy ginger pieces. Do not choose those rotten, moldy and weak ginger pieces. It is best to leave 1-2 buds on the ginger, and then cut it into small pieces for later use. 2. There are no requirements for the soil for growing ginger. Pure garden soil, nutrient soil, or soil with some perlite or sand will do.
3. Spread the prepared ginger pieces on the soil surface of the flowerpot, and then cover it with a layer of soil so that the ginger sprouts can be slightly exposed.
4. After planting the ginger, water it thoroughly and then place it on the balcony or windowsill so that the ginger can receive sufficient light. After about a month, the ginger will sprout. 5. Normally, as long as you find that the soil in the pot turns white, you can water it, and make sure to water it thoroughly. 6. In about 1-2 months, you will be able to get a pot of lush ginger.
7. When the leaves of the ginger potted plant turn yellow and fall off, it is time to harvest the ginger. Using the leftover ginger pieces, I planted a whole pot of flowers. Don’t you flower lovers feel a sense of accomplishment?
