Have You Ever Wondered How To Increase Metabolism?

Have You Ever Wondered How To Increase Metabolism?

howtoincreasemetabolism.jpg

The body is an amazing thing that we sometimes seem to take for granted. Every day our mind and body keep our heart beating, our hair growing, and our legs scaling a flight of stairs without us realizing it. One big process that we rarely consider is our metabolism. We often hear people say that their metabolism has slowed as they age, and we might then wonder how to increase metabolism?

Science has proven that if we carefully watch our daily habits and implement necessary changes in our life, we can learn how to increase metabolism. Good practices like our recommended Daily Shake help speed up the process of breaking down and absorbing nutrients from our food.

Here are a few tips that we can add to our daily life to speed up our metabolism, help us burn calories faster, and even feel more energized:

INFUSE MORE Activity INTO OUR DAY

A healthy metabolism breaks down our food quickly and transfers it into energy. The top tip for increasing our metabolism rate is to add more movement to our day. I start my morning routine every day with a yoga pose or a quick Activity, and it helps to jump-start my metabolism. The more we Activity, the more we add muscle mass to our body, burning fat for us during the day, even after leaving the gym.

If we live a sedentary lifestyle, we’re putting our bodies in sleep mode and slowing down our metabolism. It’s essential to incorporate movement into our day, whether walking around the block or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

EAT MORE FREQUENTLY

Who doesn’t love to hear those words, am I right? Studies suggest that when we start eating more often at specific regular times scheduled throughout the day, it reduces cravings and helps boost our metabolism.

Another thing we can do, if we are wondering how to increase metabolism, is trying to keep our main meals and the snacks in between at similar times from day to day. Sticking to our schedule gives our body a routine.

AVOID LOW-FAT AND FAT-FREE FOODS

When grocery shopping, we are often drawn to those items being marketed to us as low-fat and fat-free, thinking that these might best help shed the pounds.

However, the foods that are marketed to be low-fat and fat-free are usually LOADED with sugar, which can affect our metabolism, which is opposite to what we want. They cause our body to have an instant sugar spike when we eat them. This means a sugar crash a few hours later leads to intense cravings, and often we end up consuming even more sugar. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle.

The best way to avoid this love triangle is to make sure that we’re adding a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and good carbs to keep sugar levels balanced and intense cravings at bay.

DRINK GREEN TEA

Green tea is rich in an almost magical antioxidant called catechin, which helps your fat cells release fat. That means that when you choose green tea over your typical thirst-quencher, you’re giving your body extra tools to fight fat and boost your metabolism. You’re giving your body the tools to turn your fat cells into energy to burn.
