Answer 2

Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body's motor is running.

The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic rate. It's how fast your "motor" is running when you're still in a reclined position or sleeping.

About 60-75% of energy is expended by the body at rest in such activities.

The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher metabolism than others that are less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than
fat. Some people have a slower metabolic rate and have a harder time staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of the increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight gains.

How to build muscles to improve metabolism? What type of exercise is ideal that speed up metabolism so that you burn calories even at rest or sleep? There are simple exercises that speed up the metabolism.

Causes for Low Metabolism

* Fasting
* A low calorie diet
* Snacking throughout the day on high sugared foods (candy, colas, cakes, gum).
* Eating or drinking too much sugar containing foods.
* Lack of physical activity.
* Underactive thyroid.

Metabolism Boosters

There are some natural metabolism boosters (natural foods) that improves your metabolism. Do not take over the counter pills containing animal thyroid extract that claim to boost up metabolism. These products may have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc...

How to Improve (Speed up) Metabolism

* Do not skip any meals
* Exercise daily
* Build your muscles
* Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings
*Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
*Eat foods with high nutrition values

proteins cause the greatest thermogenic effect of the 3 macronutrient groups (protein, carbs and fats). 25% of the calories that a serving of protein provides is used during the digestion process. this effect however is typically not seen in those that are obese or severely overweight. their bodies do does not expend much energy digesting foods and this is believed to be one of the causes of easy weight gain for them.

Answer 4

If you are looking for some good snacking foods, reach for CELERY!!!! It is one of the only foods that have negative calories. In other words, it takes more calories for your body to digest the celery than the celery has. So basically, when you eat celery, it satisfies your hunger AND burns fat. Also, try to do a few yoga poses before bed. Even after you're done doing yoga, your muscles continue to burn calories so, you can burn calories while you sleep! And one more thing...WATER! Lots of it makes you loose weight fast, my friend. Hope this helped. :]
