Ginger and weight loss: proven effect on metabolism
Ginger and weight loss: proven effect on metabolism
The meta-analysis by Mansour et al. (2019, European Journal of Nutrition, 14 studies, 473 participants) shows that ginger significantly reduces body weight, waist-to-hip ratio and fasting blood sugar.
4 validated mechanisms
- Thermogenesis : gingerol + shogaol increase resting energy expenditure
- Appetite reduction : action on leptin and ghrelin
- Insulin sensitivity : reduces the HOMA-IR index (Li 2012, 2014)
- Microbiota : promotes Akkermansia muciniphila, associated with a healthy weight
NRTI + weight loss: the ideal combination
- 0 added sugar — no insulin peak
- Erythritol IG 0 — keto and intermittent fasting compatible
- Cayenne pepper (capsaicin) — complementary thermogenesis
- Turmeric + piperine: reduces inflammation of adipose tissue
