Increase Your Metabolism
By Posblo Keatler Published: 01/07/2010
Metabolism is the quantity of calories, or energy, that your body needs to burn in order to function properly. The higher your body's metabolism is the lower amount of body fat you will have. People with high metabolism have are able to lose weight faster and keep it off longer than people with slower metabolism.
Your body burns calories for all of its functions, including digesting the food you eat. It burns calories to repair and create muscle, to keep your heart pumping, and to help your kidneys, liver and other organs functioning effectively. When your body burns more calories than you eat, you naturally lose weight.
There are many ways to naturally increase your body's metabolism. Healthy, active people naturally burn more calories. Proper nutrition coupled with working out regularly will raise your metabolism to the point where you really don't have to worry gaining weight with every food you eat.
Protein takes more calories for your body to digest and process. Many raw fruits and vegetables also need a lot of calories to fully digest. When the foods you eat cause your body to burn more calories to process them, you actually boost your metabolism by simply eating.
Exercise is key in boosting your metabolism. Muscles use more calories for the body to maintain, so you burn more calories when you have more toned muscle on your body. Participate in some type of aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, stationary cycling, aerobics) every day for at least 30 to 60 minutes. It is best to exercise first thing in the morning. The more you increase your aerobic activity, the higher your metabolism will increase! Try to do an additional 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in the evening, five days per week.
Incorporate intervals training into most of your aerobic sessions. Intervals are a great way to help boost your metabolism. Interval training involves adding a brief 1 minute interval of aerobic activity for every 10 minutes of your regular workout routine.
You should never skip meals and always eat a healthy, balanced breakfast. If you skip breakfast, you are sending your body a signal that you are starving, because you haven't eaten anything in the nearly 18 hours between dinner the night before and lunch the next day. Your body's metabolism will slow down and will also go into a protective mode to conserve energy.
Look for creative ways to get active. Choose the farthest parking spot in the parking lot at work or the store instead of searching for the spot nearest the door. Try using the stairs rather than an elevator or escalator. The harder you make your body work every day, the more you boost your body's metabolism.
