There are many benefits to drinking ginger tea, from helping with nausea to boosting your immune system to jumpstarting your metabolism and more.
But did you know that there is an optimum time to drink ginger tea in order to reap the most benefits? And I bet you can guess when that is...
The Best Time To Drink Ginger Tea
The best time to drink ginger tea (for MOST people) is in the morning! First thing. Before breakfast. Before coffee even! (Hear me out, bean lovers!)
Drinking ginger tea on an empty stomach helps increase the absorption of all the goodness it has to offer into the bloodstream and will help you wake up and start your day feeling refreshed and energized. (Something coffee fails to do for ME these days if I'm being honest.)
The anti-inflammatory properties can also assist first thing in the morning for those who have aches and pains—indeed, drinking ginger tea can alleviate stiffness and pain.
Ginger tea also helps fight nausea, which may come in handy for pregnant women or those struggling with morning sickness.
When ELSE Is a Good Time To Drink Ginger Tea?
So you're not pregnant or waking up in pain... you're simply not a morning person and/or you're just SUPER opposed to postponing your beloved latte. (Trust me, I get it.)
Turns out, drinking ginger tea before or after a meal is an awesome morning tea time workaround! ESPECIALLY If you suffer from heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux issues.
As a preventative measure, try sippin' some ginger tea down about 30 mins prior to eating to take advantage of its awesome effects on soothing and improving digestion or have it right after you're done. You can't really mess this up.
Another great time to drink ginger tea is at night before bed. Ginger has detoxifying properties that can help cleanse your body of toxins while you sleep and keep you hydrated as your unconscious hours without water intake drag on.
Ginger tea also helps to alleviate stress, which not only positively impacts your overall health in the long-run but also helps quiet the mind and allows for some much-needed shut-eye!
Final Thoughts
Whether you're a morning person or not, drinking ginger tea at some point during the day is always a good choice. Not only are its many health benefits well documented and proven, but it also tastes great and offers a soothing and calming effect that we could all use from time to time!
So whether you choose to drink it at night, in the morning, or both, be sure to take advantage of all the amazing benefits that ginger tea has to offer! And enjoy your cup of tea! Thanks for reading! Cheers!
