Ginger is one of the most widely used ingredient when it comes to using home remedies. No wonder our elders swear by adrak ki chai! Ginger is one of the healthiest and spices available. (Delicious eh!)

The spice is considered to be highly rich in terms of nutrients and also contains bioactive compounds, which have powerful effects on body and brain.

A flowering plant that originates from China, Ginger contains gingerol and few powerful medicinal properties.

Here are few medicinal benefits of ginger, which you probably didn’t know:

It has wide history in various forms of traditional/alternative medicine. It has been used to help digestion, reduce nausea and help fight flu and common cold, to name a few.

Powdered, fresh or dried, it can be utilised for processed food items and cosmetics too.

Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, responsible for much of its medicinal properties. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

It helps in relieve nausea and vomiting after surgery, and in cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy.

It has been shown to be effective against exercise-induced muscle pain.

The anti-inflammatory effects of ginger can help people suffering from osteoarthritis. It involves degeneration of the joints in the body, which if untreated, leads to joint pain and stiffness.

It helps in controlling blood sugar and reduces heart related diseases.

It helps in treating chronic indigestion. After consuming ginger soup, it takes 12 to 16 minutes to calm down stomach problems.

It powder significantly reduces menstrual pain

It sharpens the brain and protects it against Alzheimers disease.

A car, which can transform into an aircraft in two minutes and 15 seconds, has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority. The hybrid car-aircraft, which is capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m), is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.

The ‘Aircar’ has been manufactured by Klein Vision, which said that the certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings. Professor Stefan Klein, Founder of Klein Vision, said: “AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars.” He added: “It is official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever.”

In June 2021, the flying car completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. Klein Vision told BBC News that it plans to fly to London from Paris in near future.

Rene Molnar, director, Civil Aviation, Transport Authority of Slovakia, said: Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development from its start in 2017. Transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top innovations with safety measures in line with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) standards. It defines a new category of a sports car and a reliable aircraft.
