Pepper, ginger and green tea burn calories?

Yes and no. To digest any food, the body uses up calories - an average of 15% of what we consume per day is burned in digestion. Pepper, ginger and green tea belong to the class of thermogenic foods, which require the agency to spend more calories than the other time to process them. But foods with negative calories, burning more than they are worth, exist only in our dreams. Another benefit of green tea is a diuretic, which helps eliminate toxins and deflate.
