Why Is It Important to Help Boost Your Metabolism

Have you ever started a weight loss program with a friend

and found that your weight loss buddy lost much more weight

in the same time period? It seemed like the weight just

melted off of him or her with little effort on their part.

While you had to sweat for every ounce you lost their extra

pound just seemed to melt away. Well, this is not

necessarily because you did something wrong.

Nor does it signal any shortcoming on your part. It may

simply be a matter of the difference in your friend's

metabolism as compared to your own. But what is your

metabolism and can it be boosted?

The best approach this problem is to find an effective way

to boost your metabolism and increase your level of fat

burning.

Metabolism is simply speaking the rate which food is

consumed by the body and converted into energy by various

processes. The word metabolism is derived from the Greek

word 'meta' meaning change or transformation.

Metabolism is an essentially important function of the body.

It allows the body to break down the food consumed to

perform various tasks.

Metabolism is responsible for the successful actions like:

- maintenance and upkeep of the muscles and tissues

- repairing and healing damaged and injured parts of the

body and

- keeping the body running by providing energy and ridding

the body of harmful toxins.

Metabolism is essential for a healthy body because it aids

in the system of digestion. It also allows the body to

comfortably absorb nutrients in food.

The kind of food you consume affects the metabolism of the

body. If you eat healthy nutrient rich food you will more

positively affect the metabolism of the body.

The body's metabolism is affected by a few key factors such

as...

- proper nutrition

- adequate quantities of water, and

- properly planned physical activity.

Each of these factors is crucial to maintaining a perfectly

balanced rate of metabolism. If we ignore even these

factors then the metabolism of the body tends to decrease.

The process of losing excessive weight and weight management

is also related very closely to your body's metabolism.

Weight loss is achieved by burning the excessive fats

accumulated by the body. The rate or speed you burn fat is

dependent upon the your body's metabolism.

Therefore, the easiest way to lose or manage your weight is

to boost your metabolism. The trend du jour is for people to

adopt a certain diet low in sugar, carbohydrates, fats, or

calories.

-- Beware Trendy Diets --

What tends to happen in low calorie diets is you often lower

your weight but at the -- expense of your metabolism.

Avoid diets built on the myth: ALL FAT IS BAD!!

The body cannot function without fats. In fact if any one

of the basic food groups is eliminated from the diet then

the metabolism and the overall health of your body will

suffer.

The most effective way to boost your metabolism rate is to

follow an exercise and good nutritional program. The

program should allow you more energized physical activity

that will increase your metabolism.

To bust a very powerful and popular myth, your metabolism is

not something you are born with. You can increase your

metabolic rate.

Take care of your health with a sensible diet and exercise.

These simple steps will help to increase your metabolism

rate.

The metabolism of your body is directly related to the

intensity of the exercises done by you. It is important to

maintain continuity and a consistency when working out to

increase your metabolism.

A few simple exercises when performed with rigor and

intensity can yield very good results. Moreover changing

your food habits, does not mean you discard all familiar

foods and replace them with tofu.

Carefully chart out a plan where you specifically name which

exercises and with what frequency you will adopt them.

Cardiovascular and strength training is a great way to

increase metabolism. The body's metabolic rate responds

enthusiastically to rigorous activity and trying new

exercises with greater intensity forces the body to use up

its fat reserves and activates your metabolic rate.

Sports nutritionists understand that the more fat that can

be eliminated from the body the better. Proper

supplementation can help get rid of stubborn fat. We found

a product called Cardio-Stack™ available from Amazon and

www.BODeStore.com, that show great promise to release fat

from the body into the blood stream where it can more easily

be eliminated.

You can increase your metabolism provided you eat healthy

and exercise regularly. Don't forget to drink lots of water

to consistently flush out the toxins in the body. Fitness

guru Austin suggests drinking cold water helps boost

your metabolism because your body has to expend energy to

help keep you warm.
