And green tea contains its blend. Ginger, cinnamon, cumin, mustard, garlic, dill (fennel), parsley, basil, rosemary, honey and flaxseed are among the thermogenics.
stomach irritation
The expert recommends that people who suffer from problems in the digestive system take these substances with caution, because their intensity affects and irritates the mucous membrane of the stomach.
And she says: “Since we know the effect of heat-generating substances, we should use them in moderation, especially if the person intends to go out of the house in cold weather. Because they activate the sweating process. As for people who suffer from inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, they can drink a drink of ginger, honey and lemon, Which helps to increase sweating and thus speed up the high body temperature drop.
