Boosting your metabolism naturally is a far better choice than taking the countless central nervous system stimulation pills and potions on the market today.
A natural boost in your metabolism through proper exercise and balanced eating is more effective, longer lasting and a healthy solution to a sluggish metabolism.
Your metabolism is like a campfire.
If you supply it with good wood and stoke it at regular intervals you'll have a nice hot fire that will last all day.
Not giving the fire enough wood at the right interval causes it to become a slow burning fire or a fire that peaks when it's given fuel and then smolders.
If you put all the wood on at one time the fires slows or goes out.
This is how most people treat their metabolism.
What does this mean to you? Many people wake up in the morning and skip breakfast.
They don't get their metabolism fire started.
They wait until they are extremely hungry and then eat whatever is in sight usually making a sugary choice and eating too much.
This equates to putting on a lot of bad wood on the fire at one time.
This will result in a slowed metabolism and not a boost in metabolism.
The best way to boost your metabolism is to start your day with a good breakfast consisting of a balanced meal of proper proportions.
As you go throughout the day you need to stoke your metabolism with balanced meals of correct proportions on a regular basis.
A good rule is not to go any longer than two hours between meals.
Any longer time between meals will result in bad food choices and overeating.
Exercise is extremely important if you are trying to have a natural boost in your metabolism.
Not only will you burn calories while exercising you will benefit from the continued calorie burn after your exercise session has ended.
What's the best exercise for increasing your metabolism? In order to properly answer this question you have to understand that your metabolism is the rate in which your body burns calories.
Some people will tell you that lifting weights to build muscle is the best way to increase your metabolism.
Although we all know that muscle in more metabolically active than fat you will eventually reach a point of diminishing returns especially if you're a woman.
You can only develop so much muscle naturally.
Although weight lifting is important, the best way to increase your metabolism is doing cardiovascular exercises on a daily basis.
The key to cardiovascular exercise for increased calorie burn is to maintain the proper intensity level for at least twenty minutes not including a ten minute warn up and a ten minute cool down.
The intensity level required is much higher than you would expect and higher than you are probably currently experiencing.
You need to be at an intensity level that is uncomfortable, not much fun, and you are counting down the time hoping you can make it to the end of your twenty minute session.
Reaching this level of intensity with each cardiovascular workout will ensure the most calories burned and the biggest boost in your metabolism.
In conclusion, proper timing of balanced meals in correct proportions combined with efficient cardiovascular exercise on a daily basis is your best choice for increasing or boosting your metabolism naturally and consistently.
