Home Remedies Lose Weight And Belly Fat With Ginger
This root is used as a slimming formula because its properties promote weight loss.
Not only does it improve digestive functions but it also has a “thermogenic” effect that helps activate the metabolism, making it a potent fat and calorie-burner.
In ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine they use ginger as a treatment to reduce arthritis, cold symptoms and nausea.
In a study published in the Journal of the Science and Food of Agriculture in 2014, researchers found that overweight rats who were given gingerol (a compound found in ginger) were able to lose weight after a 30-day supplementation period.
The rats also showed improvements to blood sugar levels and leptin levels.
Leptin is a compound that plays a role in feeling full and satisfied after a meal and I’ve already covered in great detail the importance of leptin for weight loss.
Additionally, the ginger caused noteworthy improvements to blood cholesterol level, with “good” cholesterol levels (HDL) up from their baseline level.
Ginger may help diminish your appetite, which makes cutting calories easier. The ginger drink also seemed to increase the number of calories the body used to digest the initial meal.
How Ginger Helps Battle Belly Fat
Not only can ginger help with weight maintenance in general, it can also keep that pesky belly fat at bay. Ginger can target the main reasons that belly fat accumulates, such as overeating, hormonal changes and low energy leading to lack of exercise.
Ginger helps you to feel full, so eating ginger or drinking ginger water can help curb the urge to overeat.
Hormonal changes and chronic stress can cause spikes in levels of blood cortisol, which throws the immune system and metabolism out of balance.
Ginger Tea for Weight Loss
Another great way to get more ginger into your life is by making a delicious and energizing tea from ginger root. Drink this tea two or three times per day to get the most out of it. It’s yummy and not at all hard to make.
Put 1 inch of grated fresh ginger root (or 1 tsp. of powdered ginger) into a heat-tolerant glass with a 2-cup capacity. Boil water and pour over the ginger. Allow the grated root to steep in the water for at least 10 minutes.
Strain the root from the tea. Add a teaspoon or two of raw honey and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Honey and lemon have their own health benefits that can increase the potency of this wonderful tea.
