What
Determines the rate of your
metabolism? How can you speed up
your metabolism?
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.
