Boost Your Metabolism
By Virgo27
Have you ever thought to yourself, "What's the big deal about metabolism?" In the simplest terms, it is the speed in which your body burns calories. Every time you eat, food is broken down and turned into energy by enzymes in your body's cells. This energy does everything from keeping your heart beating to helping your legs continuously move while jogging. From all of the "metabolism" talk, you've probably guessed one thing, a faster metabolism means more calories burned, making it easier to lose weight. With that said, I'm sure you've figured out what it means to have a slow metabolism. The good thing is, slower metabolisms 
can be revved up. Just follow the suggestions below and you could increase your metabolism's power and keep it working 24 hours a day.
can be revved up. Just follow the suggestions below and you could increase your metabolism's power and keep it working 24 hours a day. 1-Eat small and frequent meals. The body protects itself when necessary. By skipping meals, the body senses "starvation mode" or "hibernation mode," hence slowing down your metabolism to conserve energy and prevent starvation. The goal is the reverse, to boost metabolism by eating 4 to 6 small meals per day.
2- Weight training is essential to boosting metabolism. Muscle burns way more calories than fat does, so building muscle is key. Every muscle cell gained participates in burning calories for you, even while you're sleep.
3-Start moving. Three times a week, 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise should be completed; spinning, jogging, walking, running, rowing, kickboxing classes...The key is to elevate your heart rate and sustain it for the duration of your activity. 4-Stay hydrated. Drink H2O in other words. When fat is burned, toxic byproducts are released, which need to be flushed out of your body. Staying well hydrated will help that process. Also, because energy is used to warm cold water to your body's core temperature, your metabolism gets a small boost.
5-Get some shuteye. Sleeping fewer than 7.5 hours per night interrupts the 
hormone levels of leptin and ghrelin (your body produces these), which help regulate appetite and energy use. This, in turn, can cause an increase weight gain. GET SOME SLEEP.
