How to Boost Your Metabolism

Let's face it - the "Calorie in, Calorie out" idea is an old-fashioned paradigm. We all know people who can literally "eat like horses" without putting on a single ounce of weight, while others "watch their portions" and never get anywhere near slim. You are looking for healthy ways to boost your metabolism? Then check out our tips!

Disclaimer: Please have your thyroid checked before applying these tips, as they are the thyroid is responsible for regulating your metabolism (along with other factors).

Here's what to do in order to boost your metabolism naturally:

- Get up! Never sit more than one hour in one go, as this can lower your metabolism. Make a short set of dips, push-ups or burpees every hour, or at least take a short walk of five to ten minutes

- Green tea is known to get your metabolism buzzing, but don't overdo it. Too much caffeine puts a strain on your body.

- Aim for short aerobic exercises like Tabata

- Do strengh training - the more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you use - even when you are resting

- Add cayenne pepper to your foods - this spiece is know to make you burn more calories, but stay moderate here - you don't want to irritate your stomach!

- Try meditation or progressive muscle relaxation, as too much stress can cause weight gain

We hope these tips are as useful to you as they are too us! And please let us know how they worked for you!
