Refuse to be a fat bear Ginger metabolism UP

Do you always hit a plateau in your weight loss and your body still looks like a "fat bear"? Be careful because your body's metabolic capacity is too poor. The food and calories you eat cannot be completely converted into energy, but can only be stored in the body and slowly form fat. In recent years, the "body temperature weight loss method" has become popular in Japan. It is believed that an increase in body temperature can increase the basal metabolic rate, accelerate the metabolism of excess fat in the body, and eliminate fat more quickly.

Drinking hot drinks in winter can help you lose weight. Generally speaking, for every 1°C increase in body temperature, the basal metabolic rate can increase by 13% to 14%.

When the body temperature rises by 1°C, the basal metabolic rate increases by 13%.

"Basal metabolic rate (BMR)" refers to the minimum calories required to maintain the functioning of the body's vital organs when the body is in a static state. Generally speaking, the body's basal metabolic rate tends to gradually decrease with age. After the age of 25, the basal metabolic rate of adults will decrease by 5 to 10% every 10 years, making them more likely to gain weight in middle age.

In addition to age, ambient temperature and internal body temperature also affect metabolic rate. Most people have the wrong idea that the weather is cold in winter and their metabolism is poor, making them more prone to obesity. In fact, the lower the ambient temperature in winter, the more energy the human body needs to maintain normal physiological functions and to resist the cold winter. Therefore, the body will automatically burn body fat to generate heat energy and increase the basal metabolic rate. Generally speaking, for every 1°C increase in body temperature, the basal metabolic rate can increase by 13% to 14%.

Burn fat! Ginger and black tea can improve metabolism

In order to keep the body warm in winter, improve metabolism and prevent obesity, many health experts encourage eating more spicy foods such as ginger, curry, onions, peppers, etc. Among them, ginger is the one that has been recommended by Chinese medicine practitioners in recent years. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger can be used as both medicine and food, and has the effects of dispelling cold, generating fever, warming the body, stopping vomiting, and stopping coughing. Foreign studies have found that ginger ketone, gingerol, shogaol and curcumin contained in ginger are all ingredients that help improve metabolism.

It is popular among Japanese people to use ginger to boil black tea, which changes the flavor of the tea and also increases the basal metabolic rate.

However, in addition to the common ginger tea, Japanese people like to use ginger to boil black tea, which changes the flavor of the tea, increases the basal metabolic rate, and makes weight loss easier. It is understood that black tea can enhance metabolism, and theaflavins and thearubigins it contains are the main contributors.

Theaflavins, also known as the "soft gold" of tea, are a natural tea pigment formed during the fermentation process of tea. They have antioxidant properties and can reduce the absorption of fat in the intestines, enhance the metabolism and burning of fat in the body, and thus prevent obesity. Thearubigins are the product of catechin fermentation and oxidation. They have obvious activity and can enhance metabolism.

Winter is the right time to lose weight. Take a hot bath + exercise to help metabolism

It is worth noting that from the perspective of Chinese medicine, if you use ginger black tea to lose weight, it is best to do it in the morning when the yang energy is stronger, which can warm the body and improve metabolism; if you drink it at night when the yin energy is stronger, it will cause excessive yang energy and affect sleep. In addition, black tea and ginger are both warm foods, so people with a hot constitution should drink them in small amounts.

There are more ways to increase body temperature and basal metabolic rate than just drinking ginger black tea. Taking warm baths regularly and maintaining regular exercise are also suitable for the cold winter. Not only can they warm the body and reduce the chance of cold hands and feet and colds, they can also enhance the basal metabolic rate and help lose weight.

In order to avoid accidentally ingesting pesticides while maintaining your health, if you want to make it yourself, you must carefully choose the source and be sure to wash the ginger skin before cooking. If you choose commercially available ginger drinks, you must also keep your eyes open and confirm that there are relevant certifications for zero detection of pesticides, heavy metals, and preservatives so that you can drink it with peace of mind!
