Attaining sustainable health involves a comprehensive blend of multiple factors, including structural, physiological, metabolic, and psychological aspects, alongside the cultivation of self-awareness and a sense of fulfillment. The World Health Organization (WHO) underscores in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that lifestyle-related illnesses, especially non-communicable diseases (NCDs), present considerable hurdles to sustainable progress, stressing the importance of mitigating their risk factors. Nutrition is acknowledged as a cornerstone of health preservation, while individual lifestyle choices play a pivotal role in shaping overall wellness. Nevertheless, dietary supplements, which typically operate on straightforward cause-and-effect principles, provide limited contributions to a holistic approach to health. Panel report of World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) also recommended to meet the nutritional need through diet alone. In the current context, the ancient concept of sattvic diet seems more appropriate to fight against NCDs. Sattva nature of ginger makes it a nature’s zesty superfood holding a vishwabhesajam or universal medicine status in Ayurveda and a vital part of sattvic diet. Ginger, known as Adrak and categorized under Harita Varga in Ayurveda, is a vital ingredient in numerous traditional dishes and has been utilized for centuries to address a wide range of health issues. Research studies confirmed the appetizing, digestive stimulant, ergogenic, scavenging and nourishing properties of the ginger which makes it a nature reviving superfood for preventive healthcare management. Understanding the potentiality of ginger in a holistic approach, as considered in Ayurveda, and integrating it modern science, food engineering can play a pivotal role in exploring the more complex nonlinear relationships of food and its implication in sustainable health.
