5 WAYS TO GET YOUR METABOLISM TO WORK FOR YOU!
Losing weight is usually a constant uphill battle and few are able to say they have gotten to the top. Although, how can we level out the playing field? If you want to make losing weight a little easier a great step towards that is actually very simple raise your metabolism. Your metabolism helps your body to break down the foods you eat, take the nutritional value out of them and lose weight. So basically raising your metabolism is something that not only will help you reach your goal but it will also help you maintain it. But how do we raise our metabolism? Of course it is not going to be a piece of cake, but it is something that anyone – and I mean ANYONE – can do. In fact raising your metabolism can be as simple as watching what you eat and ‘’where” you eat it. Nonetheless here are 5 simple ways to raise your metabolism…
The best part of waking up is breakfast the table. One of the most simple ways to raise your metabolism is by doing what many people take for granted – eating breakfast. In fact eating a healthy breakfast – you know the whole grain, whole fruit and granola type breakfast – has proven to raise the metabolism by 10%. But if you still not sold just think about this your body and your metabolism need fuel to burn it needs calories your body will not work for you until you have worked for it. If anything you will cause more harm than good.
Who wants the window seat? Where do you sit every morning at the breakfast table? How important is that question when we are talking about your metabolism? Well it is pretty important because sunlight can raise your metabolism our bodies interpret sunlight as a sign that it is time to get up and go to work. Although not only does sunlight give us a metabolism jump start but it also helps muscle and bone strength – plus you get a nice tan too. So next time you eat with your family sit by the window.
Would you like ice in your drink? Another thing that we should watch out for if we are trying to be metabolism conscious is not only what we eat but also what we drink. For example by drinking drinks that have ice in them our metabolism has to work harder because it has to heat up our stomach to break it down. Not only that but drinking certain hot drinks like coffee or tea we raise our heart rates which, in turn, increases our metabolism.You want it spicy or extra spicy? Do you like foods that have a lot of spices in them? Well some people do and some don’t the thing is by adding different spices to our foods we eat daily we can easily increase our metabolism. For example just by adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to what we are eating we can raise our metabolism by 20%, US Agricultural Research Service. (Oh and but the way I am still working on that article about cinnamon – it’s a comin’!)
If all else fails at least you won’t get scurvy. Another tip on raising your metabolism is as simple as eating an orange. In fact just consuming 500 mg of vitamin C can help our bodies burn 39% MORE while exercising. Of course you do not want to go overboard because vitamin C is one of those vitamins that can affect you seriously by consuming in high dosages, but think about it like this at least you won’t get scurvy…
