4. Diabetes
Why to Avoid: Ginger can lower blood sugar levels, which might interfere with diabetes medications.
Risk: Hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar levels).

5. Pregnancy (In Excess)

Risk: Premature labor or complications.

6. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Why to Avoid: Ginger’s spicy nature can irritate the esophagus, worsening symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux.
Risk: Increased discomfort and acid reflux episodes.

7. Recent Surgery or Upcoming Surgery

How to Be Safe with Ginger
Always consult your doctor if you have any of these conditions or are on medications.
Limit intake to a moderate amount—1-2 grams of ginger daily is generally considered safe for most people.
While ginger is a powerful natural remedy, it’s not for everyone. Be informed and prioritize your health! 💥
