Five incredible tips to improve your metabolism

Here are a few incredible tips to boost your metabolism,

Eat 5 to 6 times a day

Eating frequent, small meals throughout the day keeps blood sugars stable (so you avoid the dreaded sugar crash!) and gives your body a steady stream of energy.

Don’t overeat.

Instead of eating until you feel full, eat until you’re about 80% full. It can take up to 20 minutes for your brain to register your stomach is full, so if you always rely on feeling full to stop eating, you’re likely overdoing it.

Drink more water.

Every cell in our body needs water to function, so it’s no surprise that dehydration will cause our metabolisms to come to a screeching halt. Drinking water (about 17 oz.) increases metabolic rate by 30 percent in healthy men and women. Try drinking one gallon per day.

Lift weights

The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest. Lifting weights raises your resting metabolic rate, which increases metabolism. Many people walk, run, cycle or swim but they don’t lift weights. If you want to boost your metabolism you have to increase your muscle to fat ratio. One of the best ways to do that is by lifting weights.

Get more sleep.

Sleep isn’t a luxury: your health depends on it. Getting enough rest is a precursor to good health. Insufficient sleep increases the risk for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity (all metabolism crashers!). Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
