Here are some healthy ideas for improving your flab-burning metabolic process:
(1) Nutritionally healthy food choices - It's about eating more nutrition-dense food to crowd out the empty calories and keep you full all day. (2) Go to bed earlier – A study in Finland discovered that sleep deprivation and high stress produced more visceral fat. (3) Eat more protein - Your body needs protein to maintain lean muscle according to a 2006 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. (4) Go organic when you can – Studies have shown pesticides make it harder to lose pounds and other research hints that pesticides can trigger weight gain. (5) Get up, stand up - Whether you sit or stand at work may play as big a role in your health and your waistline. (6) Drink cold water -German researchers found that drinking 6 cups of cold water a day (that's 48 ounces) can raise resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily. (7) Rev up in the morning - Eating breakfast jump-starts your metabolism and keeps energy high all day. (8) Drink coffee or tea - Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, so your daily java jolt can rev your metabolism 5 to 8 percent. (9) Fight fat with fiber - Fiber can rev your fat burn by as much as 30 percent. (10) Eat iron-rich foods - Iron is essential for carrying the oxygen your muscles need to burn fat.
