How often have you blamed genetics for your weight problems? Well, there is some truth to it. Those genes. Add in age and gender and it may seem like controlling the rate at which the body burns calories is completely uncontrolls passed down from generation to generation do play a part in fat-burning. The speed of everyone’s metabolism is partially based on geneticable.
Combat a Slow Metabolism
Fortunately, that’s not true. While genetics and age can’t be changed or altered, there are a variety of ways to naturally boost your metabolism. Make some, or all, of these lifestyle changes and watch your metabolic rate start to rise.
Start Small
It may seem counterintuitive, but your metabolism is more efficient when you eat more often. Note, that does not mean consuming large meals. Small meals and snacks spread throughout the day, like a handful of almonds at 1pm, some baby carrots and hummus before your 4pm workout, helps the body maintain balance.
Starving and then stuffing yourself causes the body to go into starvation mode, which means it may burn calories slower and store that fat. Experts recommend eating small meals or snacks every three to four hours.
Get a Los Angeles IV Vitamin Therapy
Infusing vitamins straight into the bloodstream is a great way to bump up the metabolism. Nenergy Boost offers a menu of IV therapy treatments that can help you burn fat faster and more efficiently. Unlike vitamins that are ingested, IV therapy treatments are delivered directly to your body’s cells, so you benefit from the effects immediately.
Fat Burn, a combination of B12, MIC (methionine, inositol and choline) and taurine, is one of the boosts that can help your body burn those calories faster. Also, B12 plays an essential role in the metabolism. Nenergy’s My BFF provides a combination of vitamin B12, biotin and folic acid.
Sip Some tea and Drink H20
Yes, it’s seriously that simple. Some studies show that green tea may help boost the body’s metabolic rate. Staying hydrated is also essential. One study found drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day reduced the average weight and body mass index in a group of women.
Pump Some Iron
Any exercise that builds muscles can help the body burn fat faster. Don’t just do cardio, add some resistance training into your workouts. Weights, resistance bands, or exercises that use your body as weight, all fall into this category. You can also add a Los Angeles IV vitamin therapy formulation from Nenergy Boost, called Pre/Post-Op to improve your body’s muscle repair after workouts.
Train Intensely
Slow and steady doesn’t win the race when it comes to fat burning. Those high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts aren’t just a fad. Instead of running, swimming or cycling at the same pace, alternate your routine with quick bouts of high-intensity exercise. That may mean sprint for one minute and then walk for two during the recovery periods.
