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 on rodents, and subsequently, men suffering from infertility took part in the study. After 3 months of regular intake of ginger extract, testosterone levels in the subjects increased by 18%, which led to an improvement in fertility parameters and sperm counts.
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 by 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 testosterone synthesis.
Ginger helps you gain shape through the following properties:
- Accelerates the onset of a feeling of fullness during a meal;
- Improves intestinal motor activity, due to which its timely emptying occurs;
- During the 6 hours following a meal, calorie expenditure increases by speeding up metabolism (so ginger tea warms you up). As a result, not only fat burning processes are triggered, but blood circulation is also activated, which is in direct proportion to metabolic processes.
To achieve the above effects, it is enough to eat daily 4 g of dried ginger, ground into powder, distributing this amount for each meal (can be added to food as a seasoning).
