You can trick your body into burning calories more efficiently, here are some ways you can revive and boost your metabolism.
Never skip breakfast!
Your metabolism slows every time you don’t eat breakfast, sending the body into ‘hoarding mode,’ your body thinks it is starving because you’re going a long period of time without food.
Leave less for last
Dinner should be your lightest meal, most experts recommend not eating anything 3 to 4 hours before bedtime to help your body process and burn calories when you’re awake and moving around. Going to sleep on an overly full stomach slows the digestive process.
Don’t starve
If your calorie intake is below 1,000 calories a day your body will send signals of starvation and slow your metabolism.
Get moving
As much as you can, it’s a big help for your metabolism, if you do it in the morning you’ll boost your metabolic rate all day.
Build muscle
Add weight training or progressive resistance exercises 2-3 times a week to build muscle, muscle burns more calories than fat.
Water
The energy burning process of metabolism needs water to work effectively, drink enough water, we cannot emphasize this enough!
Chinese Herbs
Schizandra is a Chinese herb used for fatigue and may help as much as ginseng to boost energy.
Try mate teammate is an herbal tea native to South America. It’s far more nutritious than black tea or coffee, and though it has some caffeine its effects are energizing, rather than making people jittery.
