4 Best Ways to Increase Metabolism

Metabolism plays an important role in the human body. It helps the body to convert calories into energy and is responsible for all the chemical reactions that keep the body alive. As some might think that metabolism is something people are born with and can’t be changed is simply not true. There is an understanding of slow “low” or fast metabolism. Slow metabolism usually burns less calories at rest than fast metabolism. Fast metabolism burns a lot of calories even at rest. It is worth mentioning that fast metabolism can slow down with time (depending on the diet and lifestyle too).
Here are 4 best ways to increase metabolism:
1. Consume more protein. Protein consumption with every meal helps a person feel fuller and burns more calories while digesting it.
2. Exercise more. HIIT & weight training in particular can make a big difference in improving hence speeding up the metabolism. As body muscles burn more calories at rest.

3. Consume enough water. Water is an essential drink for overall health. Drinking water also stimulates metabolism as the body uses energy (calories) to warm the water to body temperature.
4. Get enough rest time. Good night sleep in particular is important for regulating metabolism and appetite. Not getting enough sleep can cause a person to overeat and consume more unhealthy carbohydrates which can slow down metabolism.

Make sure to consult your physician before making any dietary changes. Stay well and healthy!
