Why is ginger ale good for you?

Answer 1

It's not the Ginger-ale that's good for you, it's the ginger it's made from. Ginger protects the lungs and colon, oil of ginger stimulates circulation and is useful for arthritic and rheumatic disorders, urinary difficulties, morning sickness and motion sickness.

Answer 2

The carbonation helps release gas from your stomach, if your upset stomach is due to gas, and the ginger in Ginger Ale has been an approved remedy for upset stomachs for centuries. Just make sure the ale actually has ginger as an ingredient, though if it doesn't it may still work, just not as effectively.

But, to be honest, other ginger products would probably work just as well. Crystallized or candied ginger, for example.

Answer 3

Well, it depends, if you are getting motion sickness on a plane than yes! But if your on a diet i really don"t think so! (has lots of sugar)

Another opinion:

Both green tea and ginger are good for you, so if you are going to drink a soda, this would certainly be a better choice than something like Mountain Dew.

Answer 4

In moderation, not really. But it is a soda and soda has sugar and too much sugar is bad for you. It can cause tooth decay and cavities as well as contribute to being overweight.

Answer 5

Pure ginger ale is very good for you as ginger has a variety of helpful properties.
