Start boosting you metabolism

Boosting your metabolism

Some people believe, Some people don't.
But it is fact that their is Certain foods out here that will literally scorch  as you chew because they have a very high thermogenic effect. Other  that we eat contains nutrients and compounds that tickle our metabolic fire.

Whole grains

Your body burns twice as many calories breaking down whole foods (especially those rich in fiber such as oatmeal and brown rice) than processed foods.

Lean meats 

Protein has a high thermogenic effect: You burn about 30% of the calories the food contains during digestion (so a 300-calorie chicken breast requires about 90 calories to break it down).

Low-fat dairy products

Rich in calcium and vitamin D, these help preserve and build muscle mass—essential for maintaining a robust metabolism.

Green tea

It’s the healthiest drink on the planet full of antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful affects on the human body.
It’s full of flavonoids and catechises which are powerful antioxidants and these substances reduce formation of free radicals in the body such as protecting cells and molecules, These free radiants are known to play apart in the ageing and all sorts of diseases. Drinking four cups of green tea a day helped people shed more than six pounds in eight weeks, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports. Credit EGCG, a compound in the brew that temporarily speeds metabolism after sipping it. Green tea also has a small amount of minerals that are so important for health.

It does contain caffeine which is a stimulant but doesn’t contain near as much as coffee but enough to produce a response with out causing any side affects that is know when using coffee. However green tea does not just contain caffeine it has the amino acid L-theanine, which is able to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Lentils

One cup packs 35% of your daily iron needs—good news, since up to 20% of us are iron- deficient. When you lack a nutrient, your metabolism slows because the body’s not getting what it needs to work efficiently.

Hot peppers 

Capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their kick, heats up your body, which makes you melt additional calories. You can get it by eating raw, cooked, dried, or powdered peppers, introduce as much as you can in to your diets.
