Drinking brown sugar water may lead to weight gain, as brown sugar is high in calories, which can cause excess energy accumulation in the body. However, consuming moderate amounts of brown sugar–ginger tea offers significant health benefits. This beverage promotes red blood cell production and helps prevent anemia. Moreover, brown sugar–ginger tea effectively warms the stomach and uterus; women may drink it more frequently during menstruation to alleviate dysmenorrhea.
