7 Natural Ways To Boost Your Metabolism For Faster Fat Loss

Good morning!

In this post, I would like to talk about 7 natural ways you can boost your metabolism for faster fat loss.


1. 7-9 Hours Of Sleep
Getting plenty of sleep (7-9 hours is recommended) has a tremendous effect on your metabolism. Sleep affects hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism. If you are not getting enough rest, chances are you will notice an increase in your appetite, and a decrease in your metabolism. The basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is a measure of the rate at which a persons body burns energy, in the form of calories, while they are resting.

2. Eat Several Small Meals Daily
Another metabolism booster is to eat several small meals daily (6 is recommended) instead of the usual 2-3 large meals. These meals can be simply an apple to a salad, sandwich (chicken, tuna on whole grain wheat, etc.), etc. Eating several small meals daily will keep your digestive system active, thus boosting your metabolism for faster fat loss and to lose weight. It'll also keep your blood sugar level constant.

3. Green Tea
Researchers say that substances found in green tea known as catechins may trigger a boost in your metabolism by stimulating the body to burn calories and for faster fat loss. 1 cup of green tea a day is ideal.

4. Drink Ice Cold Water
Drinking ice cold water is not only a refreshing beverage on a hot summer day or after your workout, but is very important to boosting your metabolism, fat loss, and your overall health. It is recommended that you drink at least a gallon of ice cold water a day for maximum benefits.

5. Oxygen
Okay, I know you're thinking - "Oxygen? If I didn't have oxygen, I wouldn't be reading this article!!" Let me explain. When I say oxygen, I'm talking about breathing exercises. With breathing exercises, you will be delivering fat-burning oxygen to your cells, increasing your metabolism, burning fat, and increasing energy. A simple exercise to do is to take a deep breath through your nose and hold it for 4 seconds, and then exhale through your mouth for 2 seconds. Repeat this exercise 10 times in one session. I recommended to do 3-4 sessions a day. You'll notice afterwards a nice quick boost of energy and stress relief!

6. Weight Train
When people think about losing weight and burning fat, the first thing they think about when it comes to exercising is aerobics. Lifting weights is incredibly important for your fat burning and weight loss efforts. Building lean muscle burns calories...even while resting! Combine resistance training along with cardio exercises for an effective boost in your metabolism to burn fat and lose weight.

7. Spice It Up
Spicy food has been shown to boost your metabolism, help with faster fat loss, and keep fat from building in your body. The best spicy food would be chili peppers. Chili peppers decreases fat deposits in your arteries and also has been shown to decrease your cholesterol level.
