Ginger can promote the body's metabolism, especially for the annoying problem of lower body obesity. Take a bath with ginger, and you can kill two birds with one stone when the cold current strikes!

Gingerol can burn fat quickly.

Why can you lose weight by bathing with ginger? Chen Yaokuan, an associate professor at the Institute of Pharmacy of China Medical University, said that ginger contains an important element-"gingerol" or "gingerol", which can promote peripheral blood circulation and improve metabolism, which is why drinking ginger tea will make you feel hot all over. Taking a bath with ginger will make your body feel hot quickly and sweat more easily than taking a bath. Simply put, it is to burn fat by sweating, which has the most obvious effect on people with puffiness and edema.

Gingerol has more magical effects in the body.

First, reduce the conversion of starch

The starchy food we eat will be broken down into sugars and then converted into calories, which in turn will be converted into glucose. If we eat too many calories and too few calories, the excess will become fat. Gingerol can reduce the saccharification ability of starch. Once starch is not converted into blood sugar, it will naturally not become a fat accumulation in the body.

Second, decompose and burn body fat.

It sounds like a gimmick for weight-loss products, but ginger does have such an effect. Gingerol can decompose body fat and let bad things be excreted with sweat. On the other hand, it can stimulate the vasodilation of nerve endings, promote the secretion of adrenaline and accelerate the internal circulation.

Third, help eliminate water and body waste.

The reason why many girls are obese is that the accumulated water in the body cannot be discharged smoothly, so there will be edema. In addition to helping perspiration, gingerol also has diuretic effect. In addition, because it has the function of relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle, it can make the feces accumulated in the stomach more easily discharged and improve constipation.

Does the pepper bath have an effect?

Pepper is also considered to have slimming effect. So, does bathing with pepper have the same effect?

Chen Yaokuan said that "capsaicin" does have a similar effect, but the problem is that pepper is too irritating to take a bath, and as long as the amount of ginger is appropriate, you don't have to worry about the feeling of "spicy" when taking a bath.

However, will it soak in the chest and shrink the upper circumference? Chen Yaokuan explained that bathing with ginger does have the function of decomposing fat. Although there is no specific evidence that it will make the chest smaller, in order to avoid "side effects", it is recommended that you take a half-length bath.

Ginger juice bath

"Ginger is old and spicy." Of course, you should choose old ginger for bathing. In addition, the skin of ginger has a good effect of benefiting water. Don't peel ginger juice when you make it. Let's take a look at what materials to prepare and how to take a bath.

Method:

Before taking a bath with ginger, you can wash your body first, and you don't need special washing after soaking.

Time:

20 ~ 30 minutes. It takes half an hour, depending on the individual situation, and the best effect is to use the iterative alternating method. For example, if you feel hot after soaking for 5 minutes, get up and have a rest, let the capillaries contract and sweat, and then soak after the body temperature recovers.

At least three times a week. Ginger bath can be done every day, if time is limited, at least three times a week.

Some people have also improved problems such as sore bones and muscles, cold hands and feet, and menstrual pain.
