When people think of losing weight they think about plates piled high with lettuce and quinoa or slaving away at a treadmill until you can’t see straight. But did you know that your body is burning calories all day long?
Your body needs energy to maintain your temperature, keep your heart pumping and make your neurons zing.
This is your metabolism, and most of us aren’t using it properly.
A fast metabolism will not only give you energy to keep you looking lively, but that energy has to come from somewhere. The more calories you burn, the more energy you have and so pumping up your metabolism should be priority number one for anyone looking to lose weight.
How? Easy. We’ve got 10 things you can do today for metabolism maximisation.
1. Omega
Regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids stimulates the secretion of leptin. This handy hormone regulates metabolism, so they more you have, the faster it goes.
2. Green Tea
Caffeine wakes you up for a reason, it kick-starts your cells and their internal metabolism. Green tea combines the caffeine-boost with anti-oxidants which help your new found energy keep on coming.
3. More sleep
Sleeping less than 6 hours a night can cause you to store more fat. 8 hours, on the other hand, gives your metabolism the break it needs so it can work up a sweat tomorrow.
Learn more on how to speed up your metabolism.
