Benefits of ginger for men
Ginger is known as a male aphrodisiac due to its ability to stimulate testosterone production and increase libido. Regular use of rhizome extracts in the testes increases the amount of cholesterol, the main component from which Leydig cells synthesize testosterone molecules. At the same time, the weight of the gonads increases slightly. Initially, these properties were confirmed by experiments in rodents, and subsequently, men with infertility participated in the study. After 3 months of regular consumption of ginger extract, testosterone levels in subjects increased by 18%, which led to improvement in fertility parameters and semen analysis.
Effect on sperm characteristics:
- Amount increased by 16%;
- Mobility - by 43%;
- The total number of specimens without structural pathologies - by 18%;
- Vitality - 40%;
- Semen volume increased 36% in 3 months.
Ginger root is especially beneficial for overweight men. Excess fat is a source of female hormones and a factor in inhibiting the synthesis of testosterone.
Ginger helps you take shape thanks to the following properties:
- Accelerates the onset of a feeling of fullness during a meal;
- Improves intestinal motor activity, due to which its emptying occurs in a timely manner;
- During the 6 hours after a meal, the calorie expenditure increases by accelerating the metabolism (thus the ginger tea warms up). As a result, not only the fat burning processes are triggered, but the blood circulation is also activated, which is in direct proportion to the metabolic processes.
To achieve the above effects, it is enough to eat 4 g of dried ginger, ground into a powder daily, distributing this amount with each meal (can be added to food as a seasoning).
