As a child, your metabolism was high. Anything you ate was turned into energy. As we age, our metabolism slows down. What we eat seems to stick on our bodies a little bit longer. Here are some suggestions to boost your metabolism.
Breakfast
Adding breakfast to your morning does help in teh long run. Those who skip have a tendency to snack on wrong foods late in the morning. As little as a 250- calorie snack for breakfast gets the metabolism in motion.
Spices
Certain spices alone increases your metabolism. Cinnamon is one spice that increases it by 20 fold! Just add 1/4 to 1 teaspoon per day to your diet.
Fruit
Certain fruits have more fiber and metabolism than others. For example, kiwis before exercising helps you burn 39% more fat. And they’re loaded with vitamin c. Overdoing the vitamin c, however, will cause bloating and even diarrhea.
Drinks
It’s the time of year we add ice to most of our drinks. Ice alone makes your stomach work harder, thus increases your metabolism. Along that line, caffeine drinks raise your heart beat and increases your metabolism, too.
Vitamins
A simple multivitamin added to your diet helps burn calories. Chromium, found in tomatoes, also burns the way you burn fat.
Eating
Eating smaller meals throughout the day helps, too. each time you eat, your metabolism rises. Small healthy eating throughout the day actually keeps the metabolism from getting sluggish.
