Tips for boosting metabolism
1. Build lean muscle mass. Resistance work will help build muscle which will raise the rate that you burn fat.
2. Get active. Aerobic activities help with keeping your metabolism active and are great for your energy levels and general health.
3. Remain active. Incremental exercise is when you take the stairs, park the car further away, walk instead of driving.
4. Eat regularly, the right stuff, and don’t skip meals.
5. Go for low G.I.
6. Reduce sugar. In your tea or coffee or on your cereal. And also in the foods you eat.
7. Eat your breakfast. This is the single most important thing to do to start the day.
8. Sleep. Get quality sleep. Do not skip sleep. Sleep is an important time for the body to rest and re-energise.
9. Avoid stress. Learn to deal with stress. Take up yoga. Learn meditation techniques. Do tai chi. Sit or stand quietly for a few minutes and take stock.
10. Maintain a healthy diet.
11. Limit or reduce alcohol intake.
12. Drink at least two litres of water each day. It is important to stay hydrated even when not exercising.
13. Enjoy spicy foods. The capsaicin in chili helps to rev up your metabolism and is known to help with the thermo genesis process. This means it warms you and your metabolism up.
14. Take a supplement. B vitamins are important for proper cell formation and are essential for the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose, providing energy and helping breakdown fats and proteins, which aids the normal functioning of
the nervous system, muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract, and healthy skin, hair, and eyes.
15. Stretch. In the morning if possible. It prepares your body for the day ahead, invigorates it and allows you greater mobility.
16. Enjoy green tea or mate tea (a south american tea). These have beneficial effects for boosting metabolism.
17. Chew gum. Studies have shown chewing gum regularly helps. Probably not as much as a healthy diet.
