The most important ways to speed up your metabolism.
Metabolism is the process by which your body turns food into energy. Metabolism is usually measured according to your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Symptoms of slow metabolism include weight gain, fatigue, low body temperature, constipation, poor mood, heavy head, dry skin, and energy problems. You must increase metabolism if you are serious about losing weight and staying trim. Here is how to increase your metabolism. Do not starve yourself; this will quickly slow down your metabolism. Contrary to prevalent belief, a great way for increasing your metabolism is to eat smaller meals of 300 to 400 calories through the day. So, eat smaller meals four to six times each day. When you eat smaller meals, your metabolism doesn’t slow down since it must adapt to a regular schedule of small but steady calorie input. If you eat 1000 calories each day, your metabolism will try to burn only 1000 calories each day. If you eat 2500 calories each day, your metabolism will try to burn 2500 calories each day. To boost metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Beside inactivity, skipping breakfast is the biggest cause of a slow metabolism. Eat plenty of low glycemic carbohydrates because they have fewer calories per unit volume than fat. Foods that boost metabolism are cereal high in fiber, fresh fruit and vegetables, fish (tuna or salmon), skinless chicken breast, fat free cheese, olive oil, seasoning spices, etc. When trying to boost metabolism, you should drink a plenty of water, as it will flush out toxins in your body that are hindering your metabolic rate. Caffeine can also help with increasing metabolism, but you should choose healthier options, such as green tea. The best way for boosting your metabolism is to do regular aerobic and cardiovascular exercise. Walk at least 3 to 4 times a week. Even simple walking or taking the stairs instead of elevator can help increase metabolism. All aerobic activities (running, brisk walking, swimming, cycling, etc) increase metabolism while you are exercising, and also keep your metabolism burning for hours after that.
