We were familiar with aspirin, but we had never heard of chewing ginger to prevent a heart attack. This is the reason we contacted specialists right away to confirm the assertion made by Ayurvedic practitioner Guru Manish Ji regarding the potential benefits of chewing a piece of adrak in the event of an unexpected heart attack. “Ask the patient to chew on a piece of ginger very hard. Proven study texts support this, he stated on the RealHit show.
Let’s first understand what happens during a heart attack
When a major coronary artery is totally blocked, a significant heart attack known as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) takes place. The most severe form of coronary artery disease, STEMI is linked to high rates of morbidity and death, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). It states, “The most effective ways to limit myocardial ischemia and infarct size and thereby reduce the risk of post-STEMI complications and heart failure are early diagnosis and immediate reperfusion.”
What are the benefits of ginger?
Another NCBI study claims that among natural things, ginger is a widely used and well-known functional food and condiment with a wealth of bioactivities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial qualities in the therapy of numerous illnesses.
Does the claim hold true?
A heart attack is a medical emergency that can possibly be fatal if it is not addressed quickly. Chewing ginger does not appear to be beneficial in cases of acute myocardial infarction, according to studies. Nonetheless, there is proof that taking aspirin prior to receiving medical attention exists. Heart attack survivorship rates may be increased by taking aspirin early or before being admitted to the hospital, according to Dr. Sudhir Kumar, a consultant neurologist at Apollo Hospitals in Hyderabad.
Cardiologist Dr. Subhendu Mohanty responded to the accusation by saying, “No, please,” to IndianExpress.com. Nothing about this is true. Chewing a 300 mg aspirin tablet at home is the life-saving action you can take. That’s it. The hospital is where the remaining therapy is provided.
