Ginger is a unique product, it is used in various diseases, as well as for preventive purposes.
According to the ancient practice of Ayurveda, eating ginger can help keep weight under control. Adding ginger to food suppresses obesity caused by high fat intake.
Recently, more and more opinions have been voiced that this spice is indispensable in the fight against obesity. In this article we will look at recipes for cooking decoction of ginger.
The mechanism of action of fat burning drink
Ginger - the main component of the drink. Its chemical composition includes vitamins, trace elements, substances that have a beneficial effect on the state of the human body.
- Ginger contains such unique alkaloids as gingerol and shogaol - biochemical compounds that give the root a pronounced burning taste. These same substances contribute to the stimulation in the body of a slimming process of thermogenesis - the generation of heat that accompanies human activity:
- Digestion of food.
- Cell division.
- Heart muscle contractions, etc.
Thermogenesis contributes to the acceleration of metabolism, and, therefore, does not allow food to "turn" into body fat.
- Vitamin B, nicotinic acid, zinc and other useful elements that make up the ginger, help stabilize the level of cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone responsible for the breakdown of proteins, fats and the transport of nutrients into the bloodstream. But in a stressful situation, the level of cortisol jumps up sharply, and the fat stops splitting. The result - extra pounds.
- Vitamins and trace elements that are part of ginger, stimulate digestion and intestinal function: food is quickly digested, and all unprocessed elements and toxins are easily removed from the body.
Positive effect on the loss of extra pounds and another ingredient of the drink - tea, but about him a little later.
