4 Tips to increase your metabolism, burn fat and get back in shape!

What if I told you that the problems of overweight, low libido, lack of motivation or even that the tendency to depression could potentially come from a single cause: the drop of your metabolism. Do you want to know more?

In this article we will therefore talk about metabolism which is a physiological process of which we hear very little about but which happens to be very important because it is involved in the proper functioning of our whole body.

Understanding metabolism is an essential key to building iron health. To begin with, I will explain the role and importance of metabolism in our body. I will then show you 4 ways to increase your metabolism in a natural way and have a potato hell while keeping the banana 😉!

What do metabolism do for a while?

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that take place in our body, it is essential to keep our vital functions running.

It is he who will influence the rate of assimilation of our food, the rate of disposal of our waste, our body temperature but also all the chemical fluctuations in our body.

Our metabolism is never stable and is constantly fluctuating. It is the thyroid gland (located in our neck) that is responsible for increasing or decreasing the power of metabolism, much like a thermostat.

The more important our metabolism, the more energy we burn and therefore the more we burn our fat reserves, the hotter we are, the more positive our moods will be, the more our libido will be important: it is overall our body that works better.

Conversely, people with a slowed metabolism burn little energy and are more prone to being overweight. They are chilly people with a libido at half-mast and have a strong propensity for depression and negativity in general.

If you suffer from these symptoms it is probably because your metabolism (or more precisely, your thyroid) is no longer doing its job.

Concrete Solutions to increase your metabolism:

1. Find a restful sleep

Quality sleep is essential to regenerate energy and nerve reserves.

To operate a car it is essential to have a recharged battery. The body works the same way.

If I have the nerve energy needed → my body is functioning properly. To increase your metabolism it is very important to sleep properly.

Conversely, an exhausted person will "turn idle" and this may directly influence the functioning of his thyroid gland (which is responsible for regulating our level of metabolism...)

Exhaustion will drastically reduce the power of our metabolism and cause all the problems we have cited. This explains why it is common to say that lack of sleep and fatigue make us fat or depressed!

What is quality sleep? Most

people think that quality sleep is measured in "number of hours". They do not take bedtime into account when it is the most important measure.

You must:

• Protect yourself from electro-magnetic pollution by turning off your mobile phone and wi-fi, but also by unplugning all electrical appliances near the bed (lamp, alarm clock, etc.).
• Avoid screens (computer, TV) just before sleeping as they have an exciting effect and prevent us from sleeping.

2. Move as often as possible!

Physicalexertion is a very good way to increase your metabolism. So you understand the value of staying physically active on a daily basis.

You can practice regular sports activity or introduce physical exertion into your daily life by replacing the car with a bicycle, the elevator with stairs, the sofa with walking, etc. Make room for your imagination.

What counts is regularity and frequency, the goal being to strain your muscles throughout the week to keep your metabolism at a high level.

I guarantee you that a slight activity repeated every day makes all the difference!

It is interesting to know that some efforts will boost your metabolism more than others.

Intensive-type efforts lead to a marked increase in metabolism, up to 48 hours after exercise. That is, for 48 hours you will burn much more energy (and therefore fat) than normal. For more information I invite you to read my article on intensive efforts.

3. STOP RESTRICTIVE DIETS

Many people think that to lose weight, you have to resort to restrictive diets → Very bad idea!

When you find out a little you quickly realize that there are a multitude of diets of all kinds and colors. All these "diets" have one thing in common: they do not respect the physiological needs of our body.

Yet the basic idea may seem rather good: eat less to store less fat... Nevertheless, the reality is different.

When we deprive ourselves of food the body sets up an adaptive response:

During a diet, the body no longer receives enough calories and will decrease the level of metabolism (and therefore energy consumption) significantly to ensure that there is enough energy available to maintain our vital operational functions.

If this deprivation persists over time, the level of metabolism will remain very low even when you are going to start eating "normally".

And what happens when you stop your diet?

You regain more weight than before simply because you have weakened your metabolism.

Your body's energy expenditure has remained very low and it is no longer able to use the food you are consuming again → Fat Storage

Calorie restriction can have beneficial effects if it remains punctual as is the case for the practice of fasting.

Only, when it extends blindly over time (regime) it can become very harmful and even catastrophic!

4. Eat vegetable fat foods

"What?! fat to increase my metabolism, but I thought fat made me fat! »

Some beliefs make food fats pass as a major poison that should be avoided or you will find yourself obese and sick... Again, nothing more wrong.

Attention, when I talk about fats, I mean of course good quality fats (unprocessed and uncooked) and what's more vegetable fats!

These fats would greatly promote the rise of metabolism and would be a major health asset... (precursor of a large part of our hormones, anti-inflammatory, softening of the intestinal sphere etc.)

Coconut and especially coconut oil/fat would be fabulous to increase its metabolism.

Fat to help you lose weight and feel better, have you dreamed of it? Coconut did it for you 😉

Coconut is not the only food rich in vegetable fat, there are a multitude of them. .

Foods high in vegetable fats:

• All oilseed seeds and fruits: walnuts, coconuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds, Brazil nuts, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, squash seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds...
• Note: Some seeds and nuts need to be soaked or sprouted beforehand to increase their nutritional potential and eliminate the presence of toxic anti-nutrients.
• Nut and seed-based purees: peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, sesame...
• Lawyers
• Olives
• Vegetable oils (olive, rapeseed, sunflower, etc.)

To ensure the quality of the fats consumed, be sure to select the crudest and most natural foods possible. Foods that have not been processed or cooked!

Example of fatty foods to avoid:

• pistachios, peanuts, dry-roasted and salted cashews
• non-organic oils, hot-pressed
• roasted peanut puree

It is when the food is denatured that fats oxidize and they can become harmful.

Finally, we quickly realize that lack of sleep, physical activity, vegetable fats and restrictive diets are somewhat the hallmark of today's society:

We have completely unbalanced rhythms of life that are a source of exhaustion.

We live in a society marked by sedentary lifestyle and laziness, how do we find the motivation and energy to move when we are on the verge of burn out?

Our image is one of our major concerns, we are afraid to get fatter so we decide to make restrictive diets by eating less "fat" because we were convinced that this was the solution.

In no uncertain terms! No wonder people are idling more and more.

Reverse the trend and restart your body, you now have the keys to do it!
