Greetings from the founder of ngumers health! It's another week for your health update.
Today's topic of discussion is:
BENEFITS OF GINGER

Ginger is a popular ingredient in cooking, and especially in Asian and Indian cuisine. It has also been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes.
Consuming fruits and vegetables of all kinds has long been associated with a reduced risk of many lifestyle-related health conditions.
However, some herbs and spices may offer additional health benefits. One of these is ginger.
1. Digestion
The phenolic compounds in ginger are known to help relieve gastrointestinal (GI) irritation, stimulate saliva and bile production, and suppress gastric contractions as food and fluids move through the GI tract.

2.Cold and flu relief
During cold weather, drinking ginger tea is good way to keep warm. It is diaphoretic, which means that it promotes sweating, working to warm the body from within.
To make ginger tea at home, slice 20 to 40 grams (g) of fresh ginger and steep it in a cup of hot water. Adding a slice of lemon or a drop of honey adds flavor and additional benefits, including vitamin C and antibacterial properties.

3. Inflammation
Ginger has been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and treat inflammatory conditions.
A study published in Cancer Prevention Research journal reported that ginger supplements, which are available to buy online, reduced the risk of colorectal cancer developing in the bowel of 20 volunteers.

4.Cardiovascular health
Other possible uses include reducing cholesterol, lowering the risk of blood clotting, and helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. More research is needed, but if proven, ginger could become part of a treatment for heart disease and diabetes.( medical news today)

greetings from the founder of ngumers show page. Erectile dysfunction remain the chief complain in most married men within the age of 40 and above according to the world health organisation.
That is why I chose to discuss the common cause of erectile dysfunction and ways of treating or preventing them.
Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an er****on firm enough for intimacy.
Causes

Male arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction.

Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues causes erectile dysfunction. For instance, a minor physical condition that slows your s*xual response might cause anxiety about maintaining an er****on. The resulting anxiety can lead to or worsen erectile dysfunction.

Physical causes of erectile dysfunction

In many cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something physical. Common causes include:

Heart diseaseClogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis),High Cholesterol ,High blood Pressure, Diabetes, Obesity, syndrome — a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol.

today's topic of discussion is Gonnorhea.
A s*xual transmitted infections that can cause infertility.

Gonorrhea is a s*xually transmitted disease (STD). It’s caused by infection with the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It tends to infect warm, moist areas of the body, including the:

urethra (the tube that drains urine from the urinary bladder)eyes,throat
It remains amongs the leading cause of infertility.
the signs and symptom of this disease are in men and women are as followed:
Painful urinationPus-like discharge from the tip of the P***s Pain, or swelling in one testicle.

Increased vaginal discharge, Painful Urination, Vaginal bleeding between periods, such as after vaginal intercourse,Painful intercourse,Abdominal or pelvic pain
Untreated gonorrhea can lead to significant complications, such as:

Infertility in women. Untreated gonorrhea can spread into the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which may result in scarring of the tubes, greater risk of pregnancy complications and infertility. PID is a serious infection that requires immediate treatment.

Infertility in men. Men with untreated gonorrhea can experience epididymitis — inflammation of a small, coiled tube in the rear portion of the testicles where the s***m ducts are located (epididymis). Epididymitis is treatable, but if left untreated, it may lead to infertility
one can always prevent himself by doing the following:
Use a condom if you choose to have s*x. Abstaining from s*x is the surest way to prevent gonorrhea. But if you choose to have s*x, use a condom during any type of s*xual contact, including a**l s*x, oral s*x or vaginal s*x.Ask your partner to be tested for s*xually transmitted infections.Find out whether your partner has been tested for s*xually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea. If not, ask whether he or she would be willing to be tested.Don't have s*x with someone who has any unusual symptoms. If your partner has signs or symptoms of a s*xually transmitted infection, such as burning during urination or a ge***al rash or sore, don't have s*x with that person.

Consider regular gonorrhea screening. Annual screening is recommended for all s*xually active women less than 25 years of age and for older women at increased risk of infection, such as those who have a new s*x partner, more than one s*x partner, a s*x partner with concurrent partners, or a s*x partner who has a s*xually transmitted infections.(Mayo clinic)
