How to speed up metabolism? A few simple tips!

Metabolism is the whole of biochemical reactions, and the transformations of energy associated with them, that occur in living organisms. Metabolism can be slowed down by many factors, including sleep deprivation, poor diet, stress or low intake of liquids. Can you actually speed up your metabolism? There are several effective methods to achieve a faster metabolism.

1. Regular and valuable meals

It seems that we all know about this rule, but many people are trying starvation diets. Failure to reach the right level of calories for a long time doesn’t work well. It is only a false impression that a longer starvation diet will work. The beginnings can be promising, but let’s try not to be too short-sighted. Small but regular and quite frequent meals will help you speed up the metabolism, so you will burn more calories. The longer the breaks between successive meals, the slower the metabolism. If, after a few hours break, you eat a huge dish, your body will treat this meal as if you have starved for a long time and will start to store calories in case the lack of food would be repeated.

2. Systematic training

It's good to start the day with morning exercises, which won’t only wake you up but will also speed up the metabolism, increase creativity and oxygen. Many specialists recommend interval training. If you want to burn a lot of calories in a short time, choose intense exercise, for example during aerobic training. In the long run, weight lifting will help you strengthen your muscles. Muscles burn more calories than fat, even if we lead a sedentary lifestyle. These recommendations are also for women. Don’t be afraid to lose your womanly figure, moderate training won’t hurt you!

3. Appropriate hydration

Warm water with lemon, often also with ginger, drunk in the morning, right after getting out of bed, is one of the best habits you can have for your body. If you don’t have the time/inclination to heat water and add lemon, try to start the day with a glass of mineral water. Certainly not coffee! A glass of water on an empty stomach will cleanse the digestive tract and overall improve your digestion. Try to drink in small quantities about 2 litres of water a day. Also, remember about vegetable juices (without sugar) and green tea.

4. Use lots of spices

The speed of pickling is also influenced by the right seasonings added to the dishes. You’ll find suitable properties in:

• cinnamon - lowers cholesterol, has an indisputable effect on weight loss, and is particularly important for people with diabetes and those struggling with some extra kilograms;
• chilli - it has a warming effect, stimulates the digestive system to increase work efficiency, it is said to also increase the sense of satiety;
• ginger - in addition to warming and helping digestion, it also prevents bloating, contributes to the detoxification of the body and lowers cholesterol; also accelerates fat burning stored in the stomach and in the internal organs;

Many fat burners are based, among others, on spices. Fat burners are the only external method to effectively accelerate fat burning. Most high-quality burners are safe and constitute a condensed source of thermogenics, such as the extract of cayenne pepper, bitter orange or garcinia cambogia. The synergistic effect helps burning body fat by accelerating the metabolism.
