11 Tips To Boost Your Metabolism
Author: Andrew Bicknell

Boosting ones metabolism is something many people try to achieve
everyday. Having a high metabolic rate increases the amount of
calories, or energy, the body burns on a daily basis. Without
optimal metabolism the body will store excess calories as fat
for future use. The problem for many people is they don't ever
use these excess calories and as a result struggle with weight
issues.

There are many factors that affect a person's metabolism
including age, weight, hormonal changes, lean muscle mass, diet,
genetics, stress and the amount of physical activity undertaken
on a daily basis. As you can see boosting your metabolism
involves many factors, but the fact of the matter is that it is
relatively easy to boost your metabolism if you are committed to
doing so.

Here are 11 tips to help you boost your metabolism:

1.Build lean body mass. As we age our bodies metabolism or
ability to burn calories decreases. One way to offset this
problem is by exercising. Lean muscle burns calories and the
more you have the more calories you burn, even while resting.
You can build muscle through resistance or weight training at
least twice a week. You can also boost your metabolism by doing
cardio exercises. You can choose to do this between or in
conjunction with weight training. Simply going for a walk or
using the stairs instead of the elevator are good ways to get in
an aerobic workout.

2.Eat Breakfast. Many people ignore eating breakfast. What they
don't realize is that it's the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast gives your metabolism a boost and provides a
consistent energy supply throughout the day. The majority of
people who eat a healthy breakfast have fewer weight and health
issues than those who don't.

3.Sugar is bad. Processed and refined sugar such as found in
sweets and soft drinks overload the body with sugar causing many
serious health issues including obesity and diabetes. Complex
carbohydrates are a better energy source because they supply an
even level of blood sugar. The human body just isn't built to
deal with the large amounts of refined sugar most people include
in their diet.

4.Spicy foods that make you sweat can help boost your metabolism.

5.Get a good night's sleep. There is research that shows that
people who do not get sufficient sleep tend to gain weight. This
may be because the body uses sleep to heal and regenerate
itself, including its muscular system.

6.Drink more water. Water is the lubricant of the body. It also
flushes toxins out of the body and keeps the kidneys operating
at maximum efficiency. This allows the liver more time to do
what it does best, metabolize fat stores. 7.Eat small meals. Eat
5 to 6 small meals per day spaced 20 to 3 hours apart. This
gives the body a steady supply of energy and prevents binge
eating.

8.Don't miss meals. Skipping meals in order to loose weight is
counter productive because it actually slow metabolism and can
lead to over eating.

9.Plan your meals. If you have a daily or weekly menu you are
much more likely to stick to your plan.

10.Drink green tea. Green tea has been shown to boost metabolism
and unlike coffee does not stress the body with caffeine.

11.Include more high energy foods in your diet including fruits,
vegetables and whole grains. These provide a more balanced
energy source and will not cause blood sugar spikes.

Boosting your metabolism can be done if you are dedicated to
doing it. This does not mean you need to stress over each little
thing but if you eat right and exercise you should see a
decrease in body fat and a much more energetic and happy you.
