Ginger water is good for weight loss because ginger acts as digestive aid. This not only help to digest the food but also assist in removing the undigested parts of food from the body. Better digestive system will lead to effective utilization of energy gained through eating food. Added benefit is weight loss.

Ginger also has the property to increase your body metabolic rate, in some cases up to 20%, which can help to burn the fat that is stored in our body.

You can find a number of recipes on the web to make ginger water. Is there a right way to make it? Not really.

The process is same. You can use either powder of dried ginger root or fresh ginger. However, I prefer to make it with fresh ginger root as it even tastes better. You can boil 2 cups of water and add ginger slices to it and let boil for 15-20 minutes to make ginger water.

Alternately you can put ginger slices in a cup and add boiling water to it.  Your ginger water is ready after 15 minutes. Ginger water is effective for weight loss in either of the way you make it.
