What is metabolism? Metabolism is the amount of energy (calories) your body burns to maintain itself. Regardless of what you are doing (eating, drinking, sleeping) your body is constantly burning calories to keep you going. Everyone is different and has different metabolisms based on a variety of different factors such as your size, body composition, gender, age and genetics. Ways to increase your metabolism can be through exercise and eating more of the right types of food at the right times (smaller meals more frequently). One way to WRECK your metabolism is waiting too long between meals, skipping meals and excessive-extreme dieting. I work with clients to understand their specific body metabolism, and how to eat the right foods at the right times for their body. Everyone is different. Many clients are surprised that they can actually eat more of the right food and lose weight. Below are samples of some natural metabolism boosting spices, herbs and foods that can be easily added into your daily meals:
*Cinnamon
*Dark Leafy Greens
*Jalapeno Pepper
*Poppy Seeds
*Garlic
*Ginger
*Green Tea
