The result revealed that NASE, Ilorin students were highly aware of the benefits of ginger, 312 (92.6%). There was significant difference between soldiers and officers in; awareness n=337, t (335)=4.94, p<0.001, η2 .007; health benefits n=337, t (335)=2.92, p < 0.004, η2 .002 and performance purposes n=337, t (335)=2.48, p<0.001, η2 .002.
