Well, you’ve been walking…..

It’s one of the most powerful and direct methods of speeding up your metabolism since it’s one cardio exercise that helps to hike up your metabolic rate, causing you to burn off excess fat (or excess calories) from your entire body, to lose weight.

Then, the next important thing to speed up metabolism is this – DO NOT skip breakfast.

This is because your body’s metabolism tends to slow down over the night when you sleep and “fast” on food.

You thus need to eat food first thing in the morning to jump start your metabolism for the day lest your body thinks you’re facing starvation, hence continues to slow down your metabolism, to help you conserve energy by not burning it off……

Here’s a more detailed guideline on how to increase metabolism naturally:

Eating chillies are a natural way of speeding up metabolism. Also eating little and often throughout the day and drinking water. Walking is a good gentle exercise instead of going to the gym.

Eat 5-6 small meals a day every 2.5 to 3 hours. Eat negative calorie foods like strawberries, celery, and others. Take the stairs, take a 10 minute walk at lunch, or get up and talk to a coworker instead of emailing.
