Metabolism

[Guest guest]

Here are a few ways to boost your metabolism, which determines how

much your body burns when you are sittin still.

1. eat or drink water first thing in the morning, when you wake up

the first thing you do should be to eat or drink something. If you

give your body something to burn first thing in the morning, it will

continue to burn throughout the day even when your stomach is empty

and and you are watching tv.

2. exercise in the morning, I know some people prefer to exercise at

night and that is fine, but in the morning it will get your body

burning so it will burn throughout the day and it also give you a

lot of energy.

3. Drink water before your work out, then for every 15 minutes you

should have 6-8 ounces of water during your workout. Then have 6-8

oz. after your workout also. This will keep you well hydrated as wll

as keep your body burning more efficiently.

4. If you work out longer than an hour have a snack, a combo of

protien and carbs is the best. This will help you recover from the

workout faster and keep your metabolism up instead of shutting down

because of exhaustion.

5. eating small meals throughout the day. Eating 6 small meals and

maybe a few snacks is better than filling up 3 times a day plus

snacks. With 6 small meals you always have something in your stomach

for your body to burn which helps it burn better though the night

when you aren't eating. This is the most efficient way to fuel your

body. Think of it as fueling your car you don't wait until your car

runs out of gas to put gas in it when it starts to get low you put

gas in it. So why would you wait until your stomach starts growling

and you can't go without food any longer before you eat. Just eat

every 2-3 hours and you will never run out of " gas " .
