Kick Start your Metabolism
Your Metabolism is the key to how well your body burns calories so here are nine ways to improve its performance.
- Get Moving - 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days a week can burn up to 1,000 calories in a week. That can help you lose up to 15 pounds in a year
- Add Muscle - Each pound of muscle burns about 6 calories a day compared with 2 calories for fat.
- Eat Frequently - The American Dietetic Association recommends eating three meals and one or two snacks a day.
- Eat Breakfast -Start your day with a healthy foundation, such as a bowl of high fibre cereal, to give your metabolism a kick start in the morning.
- Get enough Protein - Protein helps ensure that any weight you lose comes primarily from fat and not from muscle.
- Drink Plenty Of Water - Your body runs more effectively when you are well hydrated and that includes your metabolism. Water is your best calorie free choice of beverage.
- Get Plenty of Sleep - Running short of sleep boosts levels of the hormone ghrelin which increases your hunger, slows your metabolism and promotes fat retention.
- Don't Crash Diet - If you go on a very low calorie diet, your body will go into starvation mode, slowing your metabolism instead of speeding it up. that why most people should not lower their daily calorie intake by more than 500 calories.
- Turn down the heat - lowering the thermostat by a couple of degrees will not only reduce your heating bills but will also burn more calories to keep warm.
