Lose fat type obesity! DIY vinegar ginger helps lose weight and increase physical strength

What effect can eating vinegar and ginger have on the body? Let's consult Mr. Ishihara Shinna, an expert in Chinese medicine and diet therapy.

Ginger and vinegar can dispel cold and maintain good health

Most modern people have a cold constitution. The previous body temperature standard was 36.5 to 37.2 degrees, but most modern people's body temperature is only around 35 degrees, and some even have a temperature of 34 degrees. This "cold" constitution is the cause of various physical discomforts. One of them is poor blood circulation. Low body temperature causes blood vessels to constrict and blood circulation to become blocked. Oxygen and nutrients cannot be transported smoothly to cells throughout the body, and waste products cannot be excreted. Poor blood circulation in the internal organs can also lead to constipation or menstrual disorders.

Another is poor immunity and metabolism. They catch colds easily, are prone to allergic symptoms such as hay fever, and may even suffer from hormonal imbalances and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Therefore, in order to stay healthy, it is important to solve the problem of "cold body". 70% of prescriptions contain ginger, which shows that it is an excellent ingredient for warming the body. Vinegar can effectively promote blood circulation. The combination of these two ingredients, vinegar and ginger, can be said to be the best choice for eliminating body cold.

Ginger has the effect of enhancing physical strength

Ginger is native to India and has been a well-known medicinal herb since ancient times. Confucius always ate ginger with his meals; the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras used ginger to aid digestion. The main components of ginger are gingerol and shogaol. Fresh ginger contains a large amount of gingerol, which can promote blood circulation, warm the body, and also suppress nausea and headaches. After heating, ginger will produce a large amount of shogaol, which can promote the burning of fat and sugar in the body and warm the body. In this way, blood vessels will dilate, blood flow will be smooth, immunity and digestion and absorption ability will be improved, which will help lose weight and lower cholesterol. In addition, ginger has many medicinal effects such as sterilization, improvement of liver function and blood pressure, etc. (please refer to the table on the left). Eating ginger every day will help you build a strong body that is not afraid of the cold.

Vinegar helps lose weight and improves high blood pressure

Vinegar is a health food that is as effective as ginger. According to research reports, consuming 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar every day can reduce body fat and lower high blood pressure. If vinegar is included in the diet, the acetic acid in the vinegar will inhibit the rapid rise in blood sugar levels. In other words, actively consuming vinegar can help reduce weight and prevent lifestyle diseases. In addition, vinegar can promote blood circulation, expel fatigue substances, and eliminate fatigue. At the same time, it has excellent bactericidal effects, can eliminate bad bacteria, improve constipation problems, and help gastric acid secretion, allowing gastrointestinal digestion and absorption to be smoother. It has many functions (please refer to the table on the left).

The most noteworthy thing is that vinegar can enhance the absorption rate of minerals such as calcium and zinc. Absorbing calcium can prevent anxiety, eliminate stress, and avoid osteoporosis. The zinc contained in ginger is known as an "auxiliary mineral" that can promote the function of hormones and thus improve physiological disorders. It also has a skin-beautifying effect.

Vinegar and ginger help low-salt diet therapy

People who suffer from lifestyle diseases, edema or are trying to lose weight must control their salt intake. However, low-salt dishes often make people feel unable to satisfy their appetite and are difficult to stick to for a long time. To make low-salt dishes delicious, adding some sourness or aroma is a big trick, and the simplest way is to use "vinegar and ginger". With the help of acetic acid and the aroma of ginger, adding a little less salt, pepper, and miso will not cause any problem, and low-salt dishes can also become delicious and tasty.
