While individual experiences may vary, ginger has been traditionally used to alleviate digestive issues, including acid reflux. Ginger contains compounds called gingerols and shogaols that have anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties, which can help relax the muscles of the esophagus and reduce acid reflux symptoms.

Ginger may also aid digestion by promoting the movement of food through the digestive tract and reducing the risk of stomach emptying too slowly, which can contribute to acid reflux. Some studies have suggested that ginger can help reduce the frequency and severity of acid reflux symptoms.

However, it's important to note that ginger may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals may find that ginger exacerbates their acid reflux symptoms. Additionally, ginger can have a blood-thinning effect, so if you're taking blood-thinning medications, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before consuming large amounts of ginger.

As with any dietary consideration or health condition, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best approach for managing your acid reflux symptoms and to ensure it aligns with your specific health needs.

With 5 people diagnosed daily, colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, is the No.1 Cancer in Singapore. This alarmingly-high figure is largely due to a lack of screening. When screened and detected early with colonoscopy, a patient’s recovery rate from colon cancer can be as high as 90%.

*Take on a proactive approach in colon cancer detection and prevention with timely colonoscopies*

What is Colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that is performed to examine the entire colon and re**um under direct visualization. By inserting a thin, flexible tube with a small light and camera at the end through the a**s and re**um until it reaches the beginning of the colon, we will be able to detect any abnormal growths that may be present in the large intestines.
During this examination, any polyp that is found will be removed to prevent colorectal cancer from potentially developing and a biopsy of the tissues can be carried out for further testing.

This is why colonoscopies are known to be highly effective and recommended for diagnosing colorectal cancer at an early stage, which leads to a better outcome for patients.

As colonoscopy is usually done under sedation, it is painless with only minor discomfort such as bloating after the procedure.
