Health and wellness encompass a balance of physical, social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, environmental, and occupational well-being. Ginger is known to help reduce nausea and upset stomach caused by stomach viruses, severe headaches, chemotherapy, or morning sickness during pregnancy. The antioxidants in ginger oil, found in ginger beer, protect cells from damage that could lead to illness. For example, in November 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based organization, reported that from April 2022 to March 2023, adults in Great Britain who described themselves as being in "good health" rated their life satisfaction 30% higher than those who did not. Therefore, increasing awareness of health and wellness is expected to support growth in the ginger beer market.
