How to Increase Your Metabolism
A healthy metabolism is required to keep your body in natural homeostasis. Being overweight is not natural. This is a sign that your metabolism has slowed down.
Your body's metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down large molecules, for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration. Anabolism, on the other hand, uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.
To determine what is influencing your metabolism, you must look at the food and drink your putting into your body. You must also look at your activity levels. There are hereditary and other external influences that can also slow down and damage your metabolism. In this post, the focus is on what you put into your body from food / drink and your activity levels.
I always tell my clients that everything you put into your body directly affects your metabolism. Your activity levels directly affect your metabolism.
Ways to repair your metabolism
Calculate your resting metabolic rate (RMR) (BMR)
As easy way is to take the number 10 and times it by your lean body weight, (weight minus the fat weight) then add 100 calories to your total.
Adjust your diet accordingly.
Create your diet based on the total number of calories you got from your RMR/BMR or let a professional do this for you. Make sure you use the right macro nutrient ratio for your activity levels and performance levels. Your macro nutrient ratio is just as important as your daily caloric requirement.
Eat small, frequent meals
It's important to eat 5-6 small meals a day. These meals include a pre-workout and post workout meal. You need to make sure your insulin levels are stable throughout the day for fast weight loss, good energy and to keep the muscles fueled. Eating smaller meals is also better for digestion and absorption into the bloodstream.
Drink water.
A no brainer. Drink water, not because it has no calories, but because it's important in keeping you hydrated and more important in helping with daily metabolic processes.
Boost metabolism temporarily with aerobic exercise
Get on the cardio equipment, to condition your cardio vascular and cardio respiratory systems. Perform no more than 20-30 minutes of cardio at least three times a week and no more than 6 days a week.
Boost metabolism in the long run with weight training
Train with weights. This is the most important tip to blast your metabolism. Build muscle which will keep you in an anabolic state. Create a workout program, that takes you through levels of progression and promotes proper adaptation and good recovery. Contact me for more info.
