Metabolism is the speed at which you burn calories. Your metabolism changes throughout your lifetime. Your metabolism can slow down as you age. Physical activity levels and the type of food you consume can also affect your metabolism. A sluggish metabolism can be unhealthy because the toxins sitting in the colon can be reabsorbed into the blood and can cause weight gain.
A fast metabolism can improve your overall health and increase weight loss significantly due to its detoxifying effect. Healthy Switches to Boost Metabolism:
1. Drink hot water. This will improve digestion, stimulate metabolism and detoxify the body.
2. Drink water 30 minutes before your meal to aid digestion, boost metabolism and help prevent overeating.
3. Move every 15 minutes. Walk rather than run. Stand rather than sit.
4. Switch canola oil to olive oil or coconut oil. MCT in coconut helps to burn fat rather than store it.
5. Drink green tea or matcha. Studies show that the antioxidant in matcha helps with metabolism and weight loss.
6. Switch from tomato sauce to salsa. Chili in salsa is a metabolism booster. Sugar in tomato sauce causes a sluggish metabolism.
Enjoy these healthy switches for your metabolism boost,
