A Breakthrough For Your Metabolism

There are several methods for how to enhance metabolic rate, and anyone can speed up a sluggish metabolic rate by following one or more of these methods.

Your metabolic rate naturally decreases as you get older, losing 2-3% every decade after age 20. A slow metabolic rate is one of the reasons why many individuals put on bodyweight as they get older. Even though they're eating less calories than when they were younger, they're burning less calories because of a slow metabolism.

The faster your metabolic rate, the more calories your system burns to sustain itself. This is why individuals with quick metabolisms can eat more food than individuals with slow metabolisms and still not obtain bodyweight.

Here are five methods for how to enhance metabolism:

1. Lift weights.

The loss of lean muscles can begin as early as your mid-20s. Lean muscles is metabolically active tissue, so the more muscle mass you lose the slower your metabolic rate becomes. The loss of muscles is mainly the result of a sedentary lifestyle - if you don't use your muscles they waste away. Bodybuilding/Weight lifting is the most effective way to build and sustain muscles.



2. Do high intensity interval training (HIIT).

HIIT dwells with the alternating intense "work intervals" with low to average concentration "recovery durations." For example, you sprint 50 yards and then walk 50 yards, and then keep alternating these work and recovery intervals. Or you pedal at a quick pace on a stationary bike for half a minute and then you pedal at a slow or average speed for half a minute, and then keep these work and recovery durations.

HIIT can boost your metabolic rate for hours after the exercise is over because it increases Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). EPOC, commonly known as the afterburn impact, refers to how many additional calories your system will have to burn in order to repair, recover and return back to the way it was before a exercise took place

3. Eat breakfast

Skipping breakfast after a night of fasting results in your body go on longer timeframe without food, and this causes your metabolic rate to slow down as your body tries to preserve power. Eating a healthy breakfast that includes 
basically of lean protein and some kind of complex carb will prevent this metabolic rate in slowing down.

4. Eat small, more frequent foods.

Eating five or six small meals or snacks throughout the day will boost your metabolic rate because of the energy required to process the meals or snacks. Just make sure that the meals or snacks consist mainly of lean proteins, complex carbs or fibrous vegetables, as these foods need the most power to digest. Simple carbohydrates and fats need much less power to digest and don't have the same impact on metabolic rate.

5. Don't drastically reduce calories.

Going on a very low calorie diet is one of the worst things you can do for your metabolism. Your system reacts to a drastic reduction in calories by going into meal deprivation method. Once your body is in meal deprivation method, your metabolic rate decelerates considerably as your body tries to preserve power.
