The key to a fitter, healthier you lies in your metabolism and how clean your internal body is. Metabolism is a biochemical process that governs how quickly you turn calories into energy.
You use energy and burn fat when you are doing physical activity and digesting food, but you also continue to burn fat even while you are at rest. The rate at which you burn fat when you are resting is called your basal metabolic rate (BMR) . There are actually ways to speed it up so that you can burn fat faster even when you’re not doing much.
Every coin has two sides, and the flipside of speeding up your metabolism is slowing it down. You might be doing things that slow down your metabolism and allow your body to store excess fat without even realizing it. Some of the things that slow your metabolism down are:
Eating Poorly - Quit the sodas and snack cakes! Treats are fine; just make them organic,healthy, natural foods. Avoid high processed fat foods.
Not Enough Sleep - If your body is exhausted then the efficiency with which it burns calories goes down the toilet. A well rested body is more efficient.
Being Stressed Out - Stress causes high levels of a hormone called cortisol in your body, which leads to belly fat . Relax and let go…of the extra pounds!
Dieting - Believe it or not, strict dieting can lead to lower metabolism. Avoid fad diets and super low calorie diets. Low calorie diets cause your body to switch to starvation mode, your metabolism slows down to keep you from burning too many calories, then when you eat again your body stores the calories as fat. Fad diets may work in the short term, but the true path to a healthier you is to improve your overall eating habits over the long term.
A Toxic Body - The accumulation of toxins in the body slows down the metabolism because the body has to work extra hard to eliminate these toxins on a daily basis. I suggest performing a colon cleanse, liver gallbladder cleanse or harmful organism cleanse to rev up your metabolism in a natural way.
