The Ginger Kick

Do You need something to keep you going? You can win the battle over midday slumps with fresh ginger. It has gingerols and zingerone compounds which give ginger its piquant taste. These are thermogenic agents that cause muscle tissue to consume more energy and in turn, help the body burn more stored fat for energizing fuel. Slice some raw ginger and chew, the fibrous spice will give you an unexpected kick. But if chewing raw ginger is too much for you, add ginger slices to your soup or salad.
