Delicious Ginger Detox Drink for Weight Loss
I hope you had a joyful Christmas! If you're like me, and overindulged this past weekend and gained water weight, not to worry, you can lose it by simply drinking a delicious weight loss ginger drink (which I'll share below).
Ginger has a long list of health benefits, a few of which include: weight loss, detoxification of the body, increases metabolism, gastrointestinal relief, increases immune system, anti-inflammatory, enhances satiety, increases energy, and it's a natural diuretic--all of which aids in weight loss.
Ginger helps the body to shed fat by improving digestion by increasing the pH of the stomach and stimulating the digestive enzymes to break down food for better absorption.
It also aids in detoxing the body, which aids in the body’s ability to shed weight faster. Because ginger also has a high fiber content, when eaten fresh, it increases gastrointestinal motility. This enhances the body to absorb nutrients more efficiently and excrete non-essential food quicker.
A healthy digestive system that works efficiently can help process ingested food more proficiently, and this can contribute to weight loss because the bulking parts of ingested foods can be processed and eliminated quickly from the body.
Studies suggest that ginger is also a thermogenic agent that can help burn fat by boosting the metabolism ay a whopping 20%! Ginger increases the rate of metabolism and burns fat stores in the body, which helps in treating obesity.
By increasing the rate of metabolism, ginger can also help reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels as the body burns fat ingested more optimally.
You can use it dried or fresh ginger. It can be added to enhance the flavor of meats, salads, vegetables, soups, salad dressings, and teas. It adds a warm, robust flavor, which not only improves the deliciousness of foods and drinks, but it also aids in weight loss, digestion and clears the sinuses. In addition, using ginger to your diet is a great way to detox your body.
Start your day off with a cup of delicious warm ginger weight loss drink.
To start your day off right and kick your metabolism into high gear to shed weight fast, make a warm ginger weight loss drink each morning and drink it 20 minutes prior to eating breakfast.
