The benefit of eating ginger in summer is that due to the hot summer, people are used to seeking coolness and like to take cold foods. At night, they feel the cold, which can easily produce heat and dampness and affect the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people have a poor appetite in summer and feel tired of eating less. In this case, drinking some ginger soup or adding more ginger when cooking can dispel cold and heat, and can also treat abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. caused by eating unclean food.
