HOW TO SPEED UP METABOLISM βοΈ
Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy. Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
1. GET REGULAR EXERCISE
Regular physical activity will help speed up your metabolism, and keep it at an elevated level, even when you are done exercising. It can be incorporated, simply by walking to the store, talking the stairs instead if the elevator, cycling to work, etc.
2. GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Lack of sleep negatively affects the way your body metabolizes carbohydrates. Aim to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night.
3. DRINK WATER
Drinking 500 mg of water can speed up your metabolism, up for half an hour. Try drinking a glass of water before each meal. I would suggest 2 liters of water per day.
4. EAT SMALL REGULAR MEALS
Try to eat something small every 2 or 3 hours you are awake. Even if it's just a small fruit, will prevent your body from going into "starvation" mode, in which your body will hold into the existing fat supply, and burn muscle instead.
5. DRINK GREEN TEA
Drinking green tea in the morning, slightly raises metabolic rates, and speed up the oxidation of unhealthy fats. Green tea has other healthy benefits too, it's full of antioxidants which can help protect the body from disease.
