Help with weight loss

According to studies conducted on people and animals, ginger may help in weight loss. According to a review published in 2019, ginger supplementation lowered body weight, waist-hip ratio, and hip ratio in those who were overweight or obese.

Ginger may also help lower body mass index (BMI) and blood insulin levels, according to a 2016 study of 80 obese women. Obesity is related to higher insulin levels in the blood. For 12 weeks, study participants were given rather large daily amounts of ginger powder - 2 grams. Ginger was also found to have a significantly positive effect on obesity and weight loss in a 2019 literature review of functional foods. Animal studies provide more evidence in favor of ginger's role in obesity prevention. Even when rats and mice were fed high-fat diets, those that drank ginger water or consumed ginger extract saw a reduction in their body weight. However, more researches are required.
