2. Drink More Water
Several studies have shown that
drinking two liters of water everyday
increases the metabolism and calorie
burning by 100 calories per day.
3. Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal
Breakfast Jump Starts Metabolism For The Day
When Skipped The Metabolism Remains Sluggish Until You Eat
By the time most people eat they are tempted
by sugary and fatty foods.
4. Skipping Meals Hurts Metabolism
Skipping meals causes the metabolism to slow down and
makes the body store fat for later energy usage.
Eat 5 to 8 small meals a day instead, and watch
metabolism soar.
5. Move Move And Move Some More!
Being inactive for longer than an hour sends
signals to the brain to slow the metabolism
and conserve energy and fat.
6. Get Enough Sleep!
Poor quality sleep can increase resistance to
insulin and promote fat storage. Even losing an
couple of hours of sleep over a couple of nights
can impact the levels of fat storage and hunger
hormones.
The Tired Eat More
Research has shown that those
who are sleep deprived eat 15% more
calories per day.
7. Eating 5 to 8 mini meals a day and
small snacks instead of 3 big meals
boosts metabolism big time!
8. Proper Breathing
Oxygen is an essential ingredient for the
production of fat burning hormones, so
if we are not getting sufficient
oxygen our metabolism slows down.
Stress, life, work, kids, being busy are all things
that can keep us from breathing properly.
Make sure to take deep breaths throughout the
day and avoid holding your breath or shallow
breathing when stressed.
9. Eating less than 1000 calories a day is bad for
metabolism and weight loss.
The too few calories puts the body into starvation mode where it stores
everything you eat as fat.
10. Manage Stress
Stress Promotes Bad Habits:
Cravings for fatty foods and sweets
Missing workouts
Drinking alcohol
Over eating
All of the above has a negative impact on
metabolism.
Learn to manage stress and your
metabolism will serve you in staying fit.
11. Java Please!
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system
and increases heart rate, which, creates a
thermogenic effect increasing metabolism!
Caffeine also curbs hunger and over eating
by decreasing the appetite.
You can drink coffee, or take any of the many
caffeine supplements available at nutrition stores.
12. Take Fish Oil Supplements
They increase the activity of
your fat-burning enzymes and
increases metabolism.
14. The most important factor
in getting fit is to stay motivated
and consistent.
Focus on your goals and stay on track!
You Deserve To Be Healthy And Fit!
