The main thing for which ginger liked the female sex, so this is for his help in the matter of losing weight. The use of the root as a fat-burning agent began in ancient Tibet. However, then the plant was used not to treat excess mass, but to combat stagnant phenomena in the body: deterioration of the digestive tract, slowing blood circulation, low blood pressure.

It turned out that it contains more than 400 different substances, among which gingerol (a relative of capsaicin – a substance that gives chili pungency and is considered a fat burner), beta-carotene, caffeine, curcumin. And in ginger, there are essential amino acids, including threonine, lysine and some others. And, of course, it is rich in minerals and vitamins.
