Visceral fat: The detoxifying drink that ‘significantly' reduces the harmful fat in weeks - Express

One meta-analysis of studies found that ginger prompted significant weight loss benefits, and had a significant effect on body weight and belly fat.

The group saw significant decreases in their appetite and body measures compared to the group who received a placebo.

Researchers noted that the effects were pronounced in individuals who carried a specific set of genes, which suggested that ginger conferred stronger effects in some people more than others.

The visceral fat-reducing effects of ginger can be broken down into several different mechanisms.

The active ingredient of ginger, gingerols, can encourage certain biological activities in the body that have an anti-obesity effect.

By speeding up digestion, the spice may also help stabilise blood sugar levels, which is also essential for weight loss.

As with any type of weight loss, exercise offers the most logical approach to reducing visceral fat.
