Speed Up Your Metabolism Part 1

The Shopping

Choose organic products

Canadian researchers have found that people who are subjected to diets with the high level of organochlorine (chemicals found in pesticides), that stores in fat cells, have altered mitochondria activity and disruption of thyroid function. In other words their metabolism is at a standstill. You can not afford a full replacement of organic? Learn about the most (and least) contaminated food, and therefore adjust the list to purchase.

Spicy Food

Kapsaicin, a chemical that makes chilli peppers taste-specific, may heat up your metabolism. One tablespoon chopped red or green chili peppers stimulates the body to produce heat and activates the sympathetic nervous system. These facts are found in published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology.

Grab the iron

Women lose iron each month during menstruation. The iron helps to bring oxygen muscle. If levels of iron is low, muscles do not receive enough oxygen and the metabolism slows down. Therefore, eat more iron-fortified cereals, beans and dark leafy green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

During exercise

Increase intensity

Are you always looking for a way to shorten the duration of exercise, right? Increase the intensity of exercise, and you'll spend the same number of calories or more in less time. In one study, women are riding a bicycle for 40 minutes uninterrupted pace or in 20-minute intervals. After 15 weeks, those conducting accelerated cardio training lose three times more fat, compared with those who rode a bicycle constant pace.

Combine

Combine regular exercise with supplements of fish oil increases fat-burning activity, reports a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Volunteers took six grams of fish oil a day and exercising three times a week. After 12 weeks, they lost an average of 3,4 pounds, while those who had practiced only minimal weight loss.

At Home

Eat fish

Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and sardines are full of omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help run the speed signal of satiety to your brain. 100 g salmon contains 90 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin D that will help preserve precious muscle tissue.

Skip another drink

Two glasses of wine or two bottles of beer puts the brakes on fat-burning to incredible 73 percent! The reason for this is that the liver converts alcohol into acetate, which, instead of fat, began to be used as fuel, report researchers from the University of University of California, Berkeley.

Go to sleep earlier

When you sleep less than they should, you reduce the level of leptin and greline, hormones that help regulate appetite and energy use. Researchers from Stanford University found that people who sleep less than 7.5 hours of experience increased body mass index. Therefore, try to make at least eight hours of rest a day.
