Abstract EN
Ginger is known to warm the body.
Therefore, we conducted a placebo-controlled crossover trial to investigate the hyperthermic effect of a palatable ginger-containing beverage in healthy women with cold-sensitive extremities.
Six women drank 280 mL of 0.07% ginger extract-containing or placebo beverage in a temperature-controlled room (21°C).
Their palm temperatures were measured as measure of surface body temperature using a thermographic camera before intake and every 10 min after intake for 60 min.
Palm temperature increased immediately following intake of the ginger and placebo beverages.
However, palm temperature following intake of the ginger beverage increased for 20 min, while palm temperature following placebo intake decreased again after 10 min.
The increased palm temperature following ginger intake was maintained significantly longer than after placebo intake (p < 0.05).
In response to a questionnaire, some subjects answered that their increased body temperature was maintained after drinking the ginger beverage.
Ginger extract-containing beverage may thus improve cold sensitivity.
