There are a
lot of methods and programs out there claiming to help you melt fat and lose
weight in ridiculously short amounts of time.
More and
more people are realizing that short-term solutions are not the answer.
Lifestyle
changes, eating better food, balanced exercise and reducing stress have become
the focus of many natural doctors when working with patients.
The
combination of banana and ginger has been looked at as a way of helping people
to lose weight.
We are
definitely fans of both of those ingredients and think they have a lot of
potential when combined!
Here is an
awesome smoothie recipe to get you started.

Benefits
Banana
Researchers
at a university in Mexico found that regular banana consumption in obese adults
was linked to more weight loss than those who didn’t consume bananas.
Bananas are
full of fiber and pectin – both of which contribute to good digestion and toxin
removal. Unlike many weight loss supplements, bananas will also provide a good
energy boost and are used by athletes for sustainable energy during a workout
or for workout recovery.
Ginger
A study
done at a university in Egypt found that use of ginger had “great ability” to
reduce body weight while also balancing cholesterol levels.
