As we age, our metabolism slows down, which can lead to a sluggish metabolism and weight gain. Making small changes to your diet can help keep you on the right track. Here's a few tips to keep your metabolism running full steam.
- Weight resistance training. Muscle dictates metabolism. Muscle keeps your metabolism burning all day long even while you sleep!
- Eat small meals throughout the day. This encourages steady caloric burn and a consistent metabolism.
- Choose low glycemic carbohydrates. Replace refined, high-glycemic-index carbs with unrefined, low-glycemic choices. The latter do not cause the spikes in blood glucose levels that encourage the storage of fat.
- Use spices. Capsaicin (the compound that gives chili peppers their bite), black pepper and ginger all boost the generation of heat in the body, leading to more calories burned.
- Drink green tea. The main antioxidant polyphenol in green tea, known as epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG, stimulates the body to help burn calories. Drink a few cups of quality green tea every day .
Have a Healthy and Successful Metabolism Burning Day!
