4. 增加飽足感
再上述同項實驗中還發現,經常飲食過量的男性在食用完薑後,飽足感持續的時間比沒有攝取生薑更長[4],因此食用生薑還能增加飽足感、幫助正在執行飲食控制計畫的族群。
5. 促進新陳代謝
生薑對於促進新陳代謝的功效一直被廣泛研究,一項研究中表明,生薑對於幫助窈窕有顯著影響。[5][6]
⭐薑烯酚、薑辣素跟薑黃素一樣嗎?
薑黃和薑是兩種不同的植物,薑黃並不是薑,而是薑科多年草本植物,是薑的遠親,早期多使用於香料、染色劑、調味。[7] 薑烯酚、薑辣素則是存在於我們常見的薑食材中。[2]
⭐如何補充薑辣素與薑烯酚?
薑辣素與薑烯酚是存在於薑中的特殊成分,想補充薑辣素與薑烯酚,直接食用生薑可能會因為其辛口或特殊氣味而退卻,有研究顯示,熟成過的黑生薑中含有較高含量的薑辣素與薑烯酚,其中薑辣素高達3倍,薑烯酚則高達57倍[8],且氣味較為溫和,顯示熟成發酵過的黑生薑具有高豐富的營養素。
