Using garlic with ginger to enhance the effect of losing weight
Garlic is another unique product, given to us by nature. In addition to its valuable nutritional qualities and rich flavor, it is famous for many useful properties for the body. In particular, the substance acylline in its composition helps to lower the tension of the blood vessels, which means it improves blood flow and prevents the occurrence of vascular diseases. Due to this property, garlic can regulate high and unstable blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol level, save from cold and perform many more amazing feats for the benefit of our body!
For us, its interaction with ginger is of interest now. Both these products are responsible for the permeability of the cell membrane. Thanks to the combination of ginger with garlic, the "gate" cells open, letting in ions of sodium, potassium, sulfur, silicon, calcium and selenium( a known antioxidant).
As you know, fat deposits accumulate in special cells that have the property of stretching, filling up with more "stocks".So, ginger together with garlic "open" these stores, provoking the release of accumulated deposits. When stocks get into the blood, at first the person feels a sharp burst of strength and vigor - still, it was the energy reserve that the body saved up on a "rainy day"!
If we used for this stimulation not ginger with garlic, but some medicine, the ejection could be too strong. If the body could not cope with the release, a large number of stocks would turn into poisonous toxins. We would need special purification therapy to prevent violations of the function of excretory organs - the liver and kidneys.
If we use garlic and ginger every day in small quantities, our body gradually learns to throw out exactly as much stock into the blood as can be split and withdrawn through the excretory organs. Thus, you can quickly get rid of extra pounds, but do not break the debugged system. You can not cook special dishes, but add to ginger tea when brewing garlic.
