Using Food To Boost Your Metabolism
from:When most of us think about our metabolism it is mostly just in terms of losing weight. Our weight and our metabolism is what we use to define our bodies these days. The only problem with this is that we are also likely to forget that dieting does mean an absence of food, but the moderate intake of food. It is not healthy nor is it smart to take on all of those fad diets like the Atkins, South Beach or Zone diets that force you to completely give up certain foods because they only work for the length of the time that you are following that diet. If you do not continue that way all of the weight that you loose is only temporary. Food is the key to boosting your metabolism and when it comes in its most natural forms, it can also be your best tool in maintaining a great weight for your body size and type. When I say natural forms I mean for example, when you eat vegetable and fruit it helps to eat them in the form that they naturally come in. if you eat fruit from a can, it is contained in syrup and sugars that will not be good for you so eating them raw is the best choice. When you are eating vegetables it is best to eat them raw and steamed because it keeps all of the vitamins and minerals in them. You should also avoid processed foods and fried meats. Don’t get me wrong fats are a necessary aspect of nutrition however saturated fats are not. The right balance of foods in a day can give your metabolism a boost that pills and fads can’t. It is best to eat at least three meals a day that are balanced with each food group as prescribed by the food guide pyramid and in between snacks as well. What people don’t know is that it is ideal that you eat five small meals a day instead in order to get the most our of your metabolic system. The more foods that you intake in a day that are healthy the better to boost your metabolism. It is not always easy for most of us to follow the food guide pyramid; however, it is still the best way to ensure that you get the most out of your efforts. Diet and exercise combined is the best way too boost your metabolism naturally, but if you can’t do both walking and eating right is the way to go. There is no real excuse not to do both, but it was necessary to mention them.
