How to Jump Start your Metabolism

Improving your metabolism will help you to lose weight, stay energized throughout the day, and live a healthier life.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Will-power
• Self-discipline

1. Instead of 3 big meals per day, eat 5 small meals or snacks throughout the day. A steady stream of food throughout the day helps boost your metabolism more so than 3 separate meals.

2. Be active at least 20 minutes per day. This can be a merely going for a walk, or a game of basketball. Just move!

3. Drink 8-10 glasses of cold water per day, and stay hydrated.

Tips & Warnings

• While we don't specify what to eat, it's always best to eat nutritious foods.
• Don't over exert yourself with exercise, as this can sometimes have adverse effects on your metabolism.
• Do not skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day to start your day with a high metabolism!
• If you work at a desk all day, be sure to take your breaks. Get up and stretch your legs every hour.

on 5/18/2009 Yes, drinking plenty of pure water is vital for metabolism to work! Drinking a cup of cool, refreshing water when you get up is an excellent way to start your day and get your metabolism rate up for the day after sleep, when it's the slowest.Cheers,B.B.
