Boost Your Metabolism
Boost Your Metabolism
Metabolism, is the process of transforming food (e.g. nutrients) into fuel (e.g. energy). The body uses this energy to conduct a
vast array of essential functions.
Your metabolism is a constant process that works in two seemingly opposite ways:
anabolism uses energy to create cells, and catabolism breaks down cells to create energy.
Exercise is a big part of boosting your metabolism and burning
calories.
Muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat. So the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn. You don’t even have to do anything. You’ll simply burn
more calories, because muscle requires more of an energy investment
Experts tell us, getting enough sleep actually improves metabolism. People who are constantly sleep deprived, typically
find that they have less energy to do regular, daily activities.
Fresh on the heels of the discussion on calories, it’s also helpful to note that eating frequently throughout the day can be very good
for boosting metabolism.
Now it’s time for action. The next step to boosting your metabolism is up to you. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy your better, leaner
healthier life.
