Gain Muscle
- Think of your muscles as your body's engine. The bigger your engine, the more energy you can burn.
Keep Hydrated
- Drink 2 liters of water daily.
- Water is responsible for several metabolic processes, including digestion, waste management and temperature regulation.
- You can fight hunger as well as raise your metabolism by drinking a glass before each meal.
- To provide an extra boost, make sure your water is ice cold. Your body burns extra calories heating it up to room temperature.
Cardiovascular Exercise
- Cardiovascular exercises such as walking, jogging and cycling are all effective ways to burn calories and keep your metabolism stoked.
Coffee
- The caffeine naturally present in coffee raises metabolism and can improve fat oxidation.
- Drinking a cup before exercise can also improve alertness and help fight fatigue.
