You can trick your body into burning calories more efficiently, here are some ways you can help revive and boost your metabolism.
Never skip breakfast
your metabolism slows down, every time you don’t eat breakfast, sending the body into “hoard mode,” thinking it’s starving because you’re going a long period of time without food.
Leave less for last
Dinner should be your lightest meal, and some experts recommend you shouldn’t eat any later than 3 to 4 hours before bedtime, to help your body process and burn the food when you’re awake and moving around, burning more calories.
Don’t starve
If your calorie intake is below 1,000 calories a day your body will send signals of starvation, and will slow down your metabolism.
Avoid or minimize snacking
Contrary to popular opinion, it may be better to eat three scheduled meals, and avoid snacks. This allows the body to go into fat-burning mode.
Get moving
As much as you can, its really a big help for your metabolism, and if you do it in the morning, you’ll raise your metabolism all day.
Build muscle
Add weight training or progressive resistance exercises at least two to three times a week to build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat.
Water
The energy burning process of metabolism needs water to work effectively, therefore, water, water, water!!
Chinese Herbs
Schizandra, a Chinese herb that is used for fatigue may help as well as ginseng for energy.
Try mate tea
Mate, is an herbal tea native to South America. Mate is considered far more nutritious than black tea or coffee, and though it also has some caffeine, its effects are energizing, rather than making people jittery.
