Add These Metabolism-Boosting Foods to Your Diet;


We all know that if we want to lose, gain or even maintain weight is determined by the amount of calories. Exercise contribute less to the energy in the body while diet and metabolism have great effect on burning calories.


The calories you use when breathing, digesting and generally being alive are known as your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Increase your BMR, and you’ll increase your daily calorie burn.


According to the Nutrition & Metabolism journal, diet induced thermogenesis accounts for 5-15% of your daily calorie burn.


Food in general dont boost metabolism in long term but it can help in short term after eating.


4 FOODS THAT BOOST METABOLISM

Portien takes more energy and time to be digested so it boosts metabolism and thermic effect of food. You can enjoy protein from either plant or animal sources. Good options include chicken, lean beef, eggs, legumes and pulses.


Second, you can add chilli peppers as capsaicin is a chemical found in peppers that may play a slight role in boosting metabolism. According to a research consuming 135–150 milligrams of capsaicin might result in burning an extra 50 calories each day. That might not sound like much, but do a little math, and that accounts for about 5 pounds per year.


Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant and thus can help you burn more calories and possibly burn more fat. According to one study showed coffee can increase your metabolic rate by up to 11%, while another study found people who consume 270 milligrams of caffeine daily can burn an extra 100 calories.


Finally, caffeine in tea may boost metabolism is small amount. Studies show oolong tea may increase your body’s energy expenditure by as much as 10% over a 2-hour period, and that tea may also be effective in increasing fat oxidation.


You need to know that eating some food may help to boost your metabolism but you need to adapt a well balanced diet in addition to exercise.
