Plants show great potential as a cost-effective means for preventing Type 2 diabetes due to their abundance of bioactive phytochemicals. Researchers from Framingham State University and Hannam University revealed that the Japanese ginger (Zingiber mioga) has anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant activity. This finding, which was published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, was based on results of in vitro and in vivo studies.
From these results, it can be determined that Japanese ginger can be utilized for the prevention of diabetes.
