Simple Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

Feeling sluggish? Maybe time to give your metabolism a boost. Metabolism isn’t only about burning calories, it’s also how your body uses energy. Here are some easy tips to help you rev up your metabolism and feel more energetic.

Basal metabolic rate is the number of calories your body is using on a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour basis when at rest, simply to keep going,” — Dr. Adam Collins, University of Surrey

1. Know Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

   Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) tells you how many calories your body needs at rest. Understanding your BMR helps you know how much to eat for weight management. Dr. Aron offers metabolic testing to provide you with a clinical measure of your resting metabolic rate.

2. Get Moving

   Exercise is key to boosting metabolism. Activities like cardio and strength training help burn calories and keep your metabolism active even after your workout. Being fit has immense benefits to your overall health. Hate fitness? Try this

3. Eat Protein

   Foods high in protein take more energy to digest, increasing your calorie burn. Including lean proteins in your meals can help keep your metabolism healthy. Factoring plant proteins and their fiber benefits make for a mega health boost.

4. Drink Enough Water

   Staying hydrated is crucial. Drinking 2 cups (500 ml) of water can temporarily increase your metabolism by about 30% for a short time. Your body needs and uses water for all its metabolic processes.

5. Get Good Sleep

   Adequate sleep is essential for hormone balance, which helps regulate your metabolism. Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and cravings.

Using these simple strategies can help you feel more energetic and improve your metabolism.

The most important element of achieving and maintaining successful weight loss is the development and persistence of good nutritional habits. Dr. Aron is keenly aware of the multitudes of diet programs out there that over-promise and under-deliver. The protocols and procedures she follows are based on true medical science, clinically proven methods, accompanied with her medical expertise in diagnosing and treating obesity related health disorders.

Healthy Habits for You

It’s a great starter — talking about habits — good habits, and ones to go on. Reese had it right recently to post a short list of ones she seeks to maintain.

Dr. Aron also suggests you make your own list of motivations to give you self-guidance. What are some simple principles you strive to live by?

“Let’s talk about habits! Are there any that have improved your daily life? Here are some I’m working towards:

1. Start the day with a big glass of water.
2. Get 10 minutes of outdoor light…
3. Spend 30-60 mins reading without distraction everyday.
4. In bed by 10pm. *no late night TV binges. Try to get 8 hours of rest!”

Fast Facts

It’s a real game changer to drink water before coffee in the morning. It’s more than just another cup of water it’s a real hydration tip — your body hasn’t had any water until the night before.

After that? Well just keep drinking water all day, right?

10 minutes of [morning] light … we sure hope you’re getting much more than that, especially in winter.

Reading and Rest; well we’ve blogged often about getting enough sleep so you know we’re good with that one.

• Hydrate

  Before you reach for that morning joe, get some water into your system. Consider you've been fasting all night and likewise needing to rehydrate too. You may even find your caffeine urges will temper once you've had some morning water, before, during and after a workout too.
