Why should you boost metabolism?
What is metabolism anyway and what advantage will you gain in order to burn fat?
Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns fuel while at rest. Some people have a naturally slow or fast metabolism, but what you eat and drink and how you exercise can affect the rate at which you are able to burn fats.
Here are 5 simple and effective ways to get motivated and boost your metabolism.
1. Drink water. At least 2 litres per day, more if it is hot and more if you are exercising heavily. When you are dehydrated, your metabolism drops markedly.
If you drink half a litre at least 4 times a day, you can raise your metabolism by 30%. Another advantage of increasing your water intake is that water makes you feel full without adding calories, staving off hunger cravings. 
2. Eat breakfast. This meal is least likely to become body fat as your body burns up what you eat for breakfast throughout the day.
Breakfast kick starts your metabolism and sets you up for the day, so you should never skip it. Eat the right foods and you will create a calorie deficit.
3. Avoid alcohol and saturated fats. Saturated fat should make up no more than 10% of your daily calorie intake (but you can have another 20% worth of unsaturated fats, which are great energy boosters).
Both alcohol and bad fats will slow down rather than boost metabolism. They make you feel sluggish and disinclined to workout.
4. To increase your metabolism through exercise, either break up your routine into several shorter sessions or simply do more incidental exercise throughout your day.
Climbing the stairs instead of taking the lift, walking to a colleague’s desk rather than sending an email, parking further from the office and walking the distance and playing actively with the kids or dog will all help to increase your metabolic rate.
Look for ways to increase your incidental activity and your metabolic rate will improve.
5. The more muscle you have as opposed to fat, the better your metabolic rate will be. This applies to both lean and mass muscles.
As well as weighing heavier than fats, muscles require more energy than fat at rest, so the more toned and fit you are, the faster your metabolism will be.
