A unique spice that boosts fat burning?
For centuries, this weird spice has been used to treat common illnesses, as well as mixed in teas and meals to stimulate digestion, ease joint pain, calm the mind, and burn belly fat.
Even books and research papers have been recommending its benefit as a medicinal herb.
Getting curious about what it might be, and how it could help your plans for weight loss?
Here’s how this spice can help your fat loss goals.
Ginger, a spice bursting with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, has arisen in Southeast Asia as a treatment of common ailments.
It gradually spread to the Mediterranean where it was also used as a medicine, and then as a spice for wonderful dishes.
After a while, its beauty was carried across the Caribbean and Africa.
Then, for a long time, the hidden magic behind a healthy digestion, especially in weight loss, became known all over the world.
But how can a vegetable root aid in a person’s weight loss?
Ginger has components that help burn fat and decrease fat cell production in the body.
Antioxidants. Ginger has antioxidants that help protect the body from other contaminants and can help you lose some weight.
Vitamins and Minerals. For people trying to lose weight, vitamins are vital as they provide enough energy and decrease exhaustion to keep you focused. And ginger’s overflowing with vitamin C, B3, and B6, as well as iron and potassium to help you out with that.
Enzymes. Gingerol is an enzyme from ginger that naturally stimulates fast digestion and regulates your blood sugar levels.
So how should I try to include ginger in my journey to weight loss?
-
Infused Water. When we hear infused water, we think of lemons, cucumbers, and mint. Try mixing fresh ginger in water for you to sip throughout the day. You won’t be consuming a ton of ginger, but it might provide some benefits that can aid you with burning fats.
-
Tea. Hot water can pull more antioxidants from fresh ginger, so it might be more effective than ginger-infused water. Also, you can buy pre-made ginger teas.
- Mixed in Meals. In Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, ginger is a common spice. Mix grated or chopped ginger to your meal to add some flavor and have possible weight loss benefits.
Although the studies and what experts think about ginger seem promising in terms of weight loss, we have to admit that ginger alone won't make you lose weight as it can't be a substitute for being active and having a balanced diet.
So stay active, eat healthy, stay consistent with your entire regimen... Then add some ginger to add the icing on the cake. ;-)
