The summer is here, but the extra pounds of winter remained…
It is known that our metabolism highly depends on age, sex and genetic factors.
The tips below will help you re-activate your metabolism, burn more calories and get rid of the extra weight.
- FREQUENT MEALS. Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day, consisting of whole grain products, salads, fruit, nuts, protein and keep away from processed food, ready meals, industrialized snacks and fried food.
- CONSUME AT LEAST 8 GLASS OF WATER Water is a natural remedy to appetite while moisturizing the body and your skin. Drink a glass of hot water in the morning in which you have rubbed 1/2 lemon. This will activate your body and at the same time detoxify it.
- DO NOT STAY HUNGRY FOR LONG. Do not skip meals and always consume a healthy breakfast. If you want to speed up your metabolism, you must eat in the morning hours. When you don’t, your body attracts stress hormones, thus, your muscular tissue decreases.
- LIMIT COFFEE, ALCOHOL AND SUGAR INTAKE, all responsible for slowing down your metabolism.
- BEGIN TO WORKOUT. Exercise speeds up your metabolic rate, so calories are burnt faster.
- SLEEP WELL. Chronic sleeping problems slow down our metabolism, according to a recent study at the University of Chicago. This is why you should get a good quality sleep for at least 8 hours.
