Metabolism: How to Increase Your Metabolic Rate?

Metabolism is a process by which the body burns the calories and convert them into useful energy. High metabolic rate uses up the energy stored in the form of fat. Metabolism to some extent depends on:

a) Our Body Structure (our genes, our health conditions).

b) Depends on our daily schedule, our daily activities.

c) Depends on our age.

d) Depends on the type of food we have.

CAUTION: Pills with the tag "fat burning", "increases Metabolism " do not work for long time. They disturb your digestive system.

To increase Metabolic Rate,

a) MUST MUST MUST..... Do Exercise. Doing regular Exercise uses up the extra calories and in turn increases the Metabolic Rate. Most important of all. Muscle Building and Aerobics is one way to increase Metabolic Rate.

b) Diet also plays a major role. Right food do increase your metabolism. Taking proper meals at proper time with proper nutrition increases the Metabolic Rate. Makes sure you have your breakfast as it sets up the momentum for the day. Other wise you are starving yourself which is decreasing your Metabolic Rate. Least number of calories per day for a good Metabolism is 1200 calories.

c) Don't get duped by false pills. Keep patience and follow normal workout.

d) Try to eat more carbohydrates. It shoots up your Metabolic Rate.

e) Avoid alcohol.

f) Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don't work.

g) Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism. The magic key lies with the walking or running on treadmill as per your body need. YOU CANT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

h) Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.
