How to burn belly fat WITHOUT exercising: Eat more of this spice

Hoping to tone that tum in time for Christmas?

You’ll be pleased to know that you don’t need to slog it out in the gym.

Banishing that tyre around your waist can be as easy as changing the foods you put into your body.

They say abs are made in the kitchen, so it’s essential you’re following a healthy and balanced diet.

Eating more fat-burning foods is another way to slim down without working out.

For centuries, ginger has been used to cure pain and nausea.

A study published in UK National Library of Medicine found that the root promotes feelings of fullness.

Researchers tracked the impact of the spice on a group of overweight men.

Participants reported feeling more satiated, leading to them eating less and losing more weight.

This theory is backed by researchers at China Agricultural University.

Scientists collected data from 60 different studies to see how the root affects the body.

It’s believed that the superfood aids carbohydrate digestion, fat-burning and insulin regulation.

Overall, they showed that ginger “has built a consensus that ginger and its major constituents exert beneficial effects against obesity, diabetes, (cardiovascular diseases) and related disorders.”

So how can you get more ginger into your diet?

Five ways to sneak more ginger into your diet

1. Steep it

To make a fresh cup of ginger tea, grate 1.5 teaspoons of the root before steeping in boiling water for 10 minutes.

2. Add it to salad dressing

Give your leaves some extra zing by blitzing some ginger with some olive oil.

The bold flavour pairs well with carrots, broccoli, garlic and mushrooms.

3. Stir fry it

This is generally a great meal for slimmers, as you can pack plenty of veggies into it.

Peel and grate some ginger into your pan as you’re frying everything off.

4. Blend it into a smoothie

Give your juices a punch by adding the root to your blender.

The flavour goes well with tropical fruits, so try adding some mango or pineapple too.

5. Add some ginger jam to your porridge

To make this sweet treat, slice the root into small pieces and boil for 10 minutes.

Add some sugar and lemon juice and reduce the heat, simmering and stirring for around 30 minutes.

When it reaches a jam-like consistency, pop into a jar.

You can then top your granola, porridge or yoghurts with the healthy mixture for an extra kick.
