早晚一杯生薑可可讓血管變年輕

When the weather turns cold in the morning and evening, a hot drink not only warms up the body, but also brings psychological comfort. However, the common hand-shaken drinks on the market often contain high calorie content, which is easy to cause a burden on the body. In fact, in Japan, a healthy and tasty hot drink - "Ginger Cocoa" has long been popular, which is not only low in sugar and no burden, but also has a number of health benefits for the body. Japanese medical doctor Dr Hirayanagi has written a best-selling book on this drink, "Don't Get Sick! The Ginger Cocoa Health Method", which has further promoted the trend of this healthy hot drink and become a new choice for the public in pursuit of health and wellness.

When it comes to ginger, most people only think of it as a flavouring or garnish for their dishes, but overlook its rich health benefits. Past studies have confirmed that ginger not only helps relieve cold or flu symptoms and protects the respiratory system, but also has a beneficial effect on the body.cardiovascular healthIt can also have a positive effect on your health. The key to this is that ginger contains "Gingerol"Ginger is an active ingredient in the body that helps to dilate blood vessels on the surface of the body and warms the body, effectively improving the problem of coldness in the body. In addition, many women drink ginger juice before menstruation to relieve the discomfort caused by menstruation, which demonstrates the usefulness of ginger in daily health care.

However, the pungent taste of pure ginger juice is not accepted by everyone. The creation of Ginger Cocoa solves this problem by adding cocoa powder, which not only neutralises the pungent taste of ginger, but also makes the overall flavour more palatable to the public. Dr Hirayanagi emphasised in his book: "Cacao and ginger both have insulin-boosting properties, and the combination of the two is not only helpful forGlucose stabilisationIt is also possible toReduce bad cholesterol in the bodyIt also prevents the build-up of blood vessels and prevents them from becoming clogged, thus improving cardiovascular problems such as atherosclerosis, which can be regarded as a double protection of health."

In addition to warmth and cardiovascular protection, Ginger Cocoa has also been found to have the effect of assisting in slimming. Professor Hiroyuki Kobayashi of the Juntendo University School of Medicine, Japan, added, "Some people's obesity is actually caused by edema of the large intestine, and ginger cocoa can improve this problem. Usually, edema of the colon is caused by slow blood circulation, overeating, lack of exercise, etc. Once edema occurs in the colon, the intestines will sag due to the accumulation of water, which in turn will lead to the protrusion of the abdomen, resulting in the visual appearance of "virtual fat".

The combination of ginger and cocoa has a multiplying effect on edema: ginger's curcuminol promotes intestinal blood circulation and accelerates water metabolism, while cocoa's cocoa flavanols help dilate intestinal blood vessels, further optimising circulation efficiency. The synergistic effect of these two ingredients effectively relieves the problem of edema in the colon and indirectly achieves the effect of body contouring. Japanese actress Akemi Ishii has shared that she has been successful in slimming down by drinking a cup of Ginger Cocoa in the morning and a cup of cocoa in the evening, which has made this drink a sought-after "slimming miracle weapon" by the public.

The preparation of this healthy and practical "Ginger Cocoa" is actually quite simple and can be easily done at home: first, prepare 5g of pure cocoa powder without added sugar, add 200ml of hot water and mix well; then add 5g of grated ginger with the skin, mix well until the ginger paste blends with the cocoa liquid. If you still find the taste spicy, you can add a small amount of honey to adjust the flavour, but be careful to avoid excessive sugar intake in order to give full play to its health benefits.
