It is preferable to drink ginger soup in the morning. This is primarily because, in the morning, the qi in the stomach has not yet risen and dispersed; thus, consuming an appropriate amount of ginger soup can help strengthen the spleen and warm the stomach. It also promotes blood circulation, helping the body feel warmer and enhancing resistance to cold. Additionally, since ambient temperatures are lower in the morning and the stomach tends to be relatively cool, drinking ginger soup at this time is especially beneficial.
