Perhaps (like most of us) you weren’t quite certain what metabolism is, and perhaps (again, like most of us) you probably didn’t quite know all that you needed to know in order to accomplish your goals.
Maybe you started a rigorous exercise program of jogging and muscle toning, or eating several small portions a day, rather than three large traditional meal-sized portions, or maybe you even started taking all kinds of supplements that promised to boost your metabolism.
The thing is, is that all of these methods can indeed work. Exercise, eating strategically, and ensuring that your body has catabolism-friendly supplements are but three of many generally good ideas.
So what’s the problem?
The problem is that many of us have no real scientific understanding of what methods boost metabolism, and how or why they work. Some of us, in fact, don’t really even know if they work, we just think that they do.
To give an example, supposing a person were to start a vigorous exercise program that includes significant aerobic cardiovascular movement, such as jogging or cycling. And indeed, after a week, they noticed a drop in weight.
The obvious reason that many would conclude for this is because that person has boosted their metabolism. But have they really boosted their metabolism? May be, may be not. Could it be due to water loss through perspiration that hasn’t been adequately replenished? May be, or may be not.
The point here is that many people – at risk to their health and wellness – don’t quite understand what methods boost metabolism, and the strategies, techniques, and tips, to make it happen for them. And that’s what we’re going to rectify in the blogs ahead.
You won’t come across any casual information that a friend of a friend heard on TV. Nor will you be subjected to off-the-cuff information of how to boost your metabolism.
Rather, we’re going to look at the popular, easy, fun (yes, believe it or not), and successful ways to boost your metabolism.
To most easily introduce and discuss them here, I have taken key ideas and broken them down into 3 broad categories:
1. Exercise
2. Lifestyle
3. Diet
As you go through each of the key points, you are bound to note that there is some overlap between them. For example, it’s hard to imagine that introducing exercise into your life isn’t, in many ways, a lifestyle choice.
Similarly, integrating all kinds of metabolism-boosting foods into your diet is surely going to influence how you spend your time (less time in fast food line-ups for sure!).
So, please don’t get bogged down in the categories, they are merely provided here to help organize key points, and to help you easily refer to them in the future. The important thing for you to do is understand each of the points, and evaluate how you can responsibly integrate them into your life.
Till next time
Best Wishes
Sandra
