Eating ginger can improve blood circulation, increase immunity, resist allergy and lose weight. Recent research shows that ginger can prevent chronic inflammation of the brain and prevent dementia. However, ginger at different growth stages has different effects. Let's take a look first. According to the growth period, ginger can be divided into four categories.
Eating ginger can improve basal metabolic rate! If you want to lose weight by burning fat faster, the first thing to consider is the "basal metabolic rate". Studies have found that for every 0.5℃ increase in body temperature, the basal metabolic rate will increase by 7%. Ginger can * * * blood circulation, yes, the body temperature rises, thus increasing the metabolic rate. Spicy ingredients in ginger, such as gingerol and gingerol, will dilate human capillaries, make blood flow smoother, raise body temperature, and naturally burn fat more thoroughly.
What are the benefits of improving blood circulation? Gingerol can also inhibit the decrease of adiponectin in the body, thus repairing damaged blood vessels, reducing the value of neutral fat in blood and regulating blood sugar.
Chinese medicine: those who like to eat cold let "moisture" accumulate! Ginger can dispel dampness and drive away poison. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, moisture represents the accumulation of bad substances, which will hurt the "temper". Modern people like to eat raw and cold food, which will make the metabolic cycle of the body worse, that is, it will make it difficult to discharge the bad substance "moisture", and the role of ginger is to remove dampness and dispel cold and treat stomach cold and abdominal pain. At the same time, ginger has a certain diuretic effect, which is also very effective in discharging excess water and waste in the body and helps to eliminate "edema-type" obesity.
In addition, in 20 13, Taiwan Province Kaohsiung Medical University found that ginger can inhibit the growth of respiratory viruses such as RSV, and ginger tea and ginger juice can help reduce the risk of infection. In the study of India 20 12, it was also found that ginger can inhibit a variety of harmful bacteria and improve the intestinal microbial ecology. In recent years, studies have also found that ginger can also prevent chronic inflammation of the brain, thus preventing dementia.
Studies have confirmed that ginger helps to fight cancer. Dr. Ishihara, the father of Japanese ginger, once quoted the research of the University of Minnesota in the United States in his book, saying that the experimental mice implanted with colorectal cancer cells ate feed mixed with ginger extract, and the number of tumors was much less after 15 days than that of mice eating ordinary feed; A study by the University of Michigan confirmed that ginger can promote the death of ovarian cancer cells.
At the same time, Ishihara insists that the cause of cancer is hypothermia. Previous studies have confirmed that cancer cells are most active at around 35℃, and ginger can optimize blood flow and raise body temperature, thus preventing cancer.
How to choose the ginger that suits you? Chinese medicine teaches you to divide your constitution. Since ginger has so many functions, how to choose the ginger that suits you? In fact, as long as we grasp a principle, it is "ginger is still old and spicy." Basically, these four kinds of ginger are just different growth stages, and the older the ginger, the more obvious the effect.
Therefore, to eat ginger, we must first look at the season and physique. For example, summer is already hot and dry. If you choose old ginger and ginger mother, you will be angry. In the hot season, appetizing tender ginger and pink ginger will be a better choice.
Next, you can refer to your own physique. According to Chinese medicine, people can be divided into "heat" and "cold". Peng, a Chinese doctor, listed the key points of judgment: people with cold constitution are easy to be afraid of cold and wind, and eating ice or fruit is easy to have diarrhea; Always cold hands and feet, especially when sleeping, the soles of your feet will not be warm. People with hot constitution are prone to grow red, swollen, acne, bad breath and constipation.
If you are a person with a cold constitution, you can eat ginger and ginger. And if it is a hot constitution, you can consider tender ginger and pink ginger. Of course, it doesn't mean that people with specific constitutions can only eat specific ginger. As long as the amount is right, every kind of ginger can be tasted with a delicious attitude.
