Nay Fit's video: How to boost your metabolism Part 2 read caption

Metabolism is a term that describes all the chemical reactions in your body. These chemical reactions keep your body alive and functioning. However, the word metabolism is often used interchangeably with metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn. The higher it is, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off. Having a high metabolism can also give you energy and make you feel better. Here are 5 easy ways to increase your metabolism. 🔥 5. Drink Green Tea or Oolong Tea - Green tea and oolong tea have been shown to increase metabolism by 4–5%. These teas help convert some of the fat stored in your body into free fatty acids, which may increase fat burning by 10–17% 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep- Lack of sleep is linked to a major increase in the risk of obesity. This may partly be caused by the negative effects of sleep deprivation on metabolism. Lack of sleep has also been linked with increased blood sugar levels and insulin resistance, which are both linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 7. Replace Cooking Fats with Coconut Oil - medium-chain fats increased metabolism by 12%, compared to long-chain fats, which raised it by just 4%. Due to the unique fatty acid profile of coconut oil, replacing some of your other cooking fats with it may have modest benefits for weight loss. 8. Drink more coffee - the caffeine in coffee can boost metabolism by 3–11%. Like green tea, it also promotes fat burning. However, this seems to affect lean people more. In one study, coffee increased fat burning by 29% for lean women, but only 10% for obese women. 9. Eat Spicy Foods- Peppers contain capsaicin, a substance that can boost your metabolism. of capsaicin, at acceptable doses, predicted that eating peppers would burn around 10 additional calories per meal. 10. Compared with sitting, an afternoon of standing up at work can burn an extra 174 calories. If you have a desk job, try standing up for short periods to break up the length of time you spend sitting down.
