It’s no secret that there’s nothing better than cozying up with a warm drink in the fall and winter months. While they provide some much needed comfort, and not to mention quench your thirst, some hot drinks actually also have a ton of health benefits.
In fact, there’s one morning drink you can drink to help you lose weight. Not only does this particular drink in mind help you shed those extra unwanted pounds, it also has other health benefits. How incredible is that?!
According to nutritionist and author of The Candida Diet Lisa Richards, incorporating ginger and ginger tea in your diet can help you achieve the weight loss results you’ve been waiting for.
“Drinking ginger tea or even adding some whole ginger to other food or beverage options, may increase your metabolism and boost your weight loss efforts,” Richards explains. “This benefit is so intriguing that several studies have been conducted to show ginger's weight loss impact.”
Simply put, Richards says that ginger helps to boost your body’s calorie burning capabilities while it also provides improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Speaking of blood sugar levels, Richards’ expertise on her Candida Diet website largely revolves around the benefits of maintaining a low-sugar and anti-inflammatory diet, which ginger can be a part of.
“Ginger is also naturally anti-inflammatory, which can decrease the numbers on the scale, while also improving joint pain that may normally keep you from being active,” Richards says. “These are secondary benefits that lead to weight loss by adding ginger tea to your regular routine.” Duly noted!
