What is Metabolism? Metabolism is the series of organic chemical processes in a living organism where cells create the substances and energy that are required in order to sustain the life of that organism, by this I mean to enable it to keep on going. An organism needs energy at all times to survive no matter what it is doing.
Here are some foods that can help boost your metabolism:
1. Water
2. Green Tea
3. Grapefruit
4. Apples and Pears
5. Broccoli
6. Low fat Yogurt
7. Turkey and Chicken
8. Oatmeal
9. Hot Peppers
11. Almonds
12. Shakeology
13. Cinnamon (sprinkle a litte on your oatmeal)
It may surprise you but the most effective ways to speed up metabolism are also the most simple, taking care of your body, eating right, drinking plenty of water and most importantly of all get into exercise. Exercise at least 30 mintues a day 5-6 days a week. Allow your body 1 day a week to rest and recover.
Instead of 3 large meals a day try eating 5-6 smaller meals, this helps keep your body full longer and cuts out on unhealthy snacking. Consume cold water, your body actually burns calories in order to compensate for the loss of body temperature due to the effect of the water. Also, drinking green tea is strongly believed to help the body burn calories at a faster rate.
Sleep also pays a vital roll in our metabolism. Getting enough sleep, at least 8 hours a night and keeping a consistant bedtime are also important.
