This is where we are today. No one knows how to effectively boost metabolism.
We have a population that doesn’t really realize how they gained weight, or where to go to correct the problem. Half of them don’t even think about the problem of obesity in America.
Many of the obese will tell you they are satisfied with their weight,
and don’t want to put forth any effort to change anything.
They don’t intend to do anything until they are diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid conditions. Then they realize maybe there is a problem and they want someone else to pay for their poor choices in the past.
The down side to this; by the time you reach this stage, it is often too late and too difficult to correct one health problem without creating another.
Your biggest punch for weight loss. Boost Your Metabolism.
UNDERSTANDING METABOLISM
In the simplest terms, metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. The rate differs significantly from person to person.
You and your friend can have the same activity level, diet, and weight but still gain or lose weight at different rates based on differences in metabolism.
To quickly boost metabolism perform some metabolism boosting exercises; they only take 7 – 10 minutes per day and they can be done in the comfort of your home.
Facts regarding metabolism:
- Metabolism generally slows 5% per decade after age 40.
- Men generally burn calories faster than women.
- Heredity influences your metabolic rate.
- Your thyroid gland can slow or quicken your metabolism.
- Metabolism increases with muscle mass.
According to Laurie Hudlund L.P.N. certain factors determine your metabolic rate, the amount of calories your body uses every day, the rate your body uses energy for vital body processes, how fast you burn energy during physical activity and the rate you use energy during digestion of food.
To boost metabolism you only need to alter what you eat and change what you do slightly to experience a difference in how you look and feel.
One effective way to jump-start your metabolism is to exercise. The right exercise will reduce body fat and increase lean muscle mass. By increasing lean muscle mass, your metabolism will increase and aid in the weight-loss process. Additional calories will be burned off long after you stop exercising.
Muscle tissue uses more calories than fat tissue because it has a higher metabolic rate.
Weight lifting, resistance or strength training, does not speed up your metabolism, but it does burn fat and increase your lean muscle mass which increases your resting metabolic rate.
Guaranteed Weight Loss
A combination of fast moving exercise and resistance training is best for optimal fat burning and metabolism boosting.
Exercise in the morning and you will reap the benefits of a faster metabolism throughout the day, exercise in short 1 or 2 minute bursts multiple times through the day to keep your metabolism pumping.
Exercise any time you can fit it into your day and you will burn that fat away. By exercising just a little more than usual you can boost metabolism and lose stored fat in the process.
