Metabolism refers to all of the chemical events that occur in the body. These chemical processes are necessary for your body to function properly.

 

The phrase is sometimes interchanged with metabolic rate, which refers to how many calories you burn each day. The more calories you burn, the greater your metabolic rate is. You will lose weight if you burn more calories than you consume.

 

Here are ways you can incorporate to better your metabolism-

1. Eat protein

For a short period of time, eating meals can speed up your metabolism. This is referred to as the food's thermic impact (TEF). It's the extra calories you'll need to digest, absorb, and metabolise your food.

2. Exercise

If you're strength training, high protein diets are more difficult to digest and support muscle building. Fibre is also more difficult to chew and requires more energy to break down. Spices are another technique to raise your body temperature and burn more calories by adding them to your food.

 

Combining protein and fiber-rich foods can lessen the overall tendency to overeat by curbing hunger pangs for hours after eating.

4. Exercise during work hours

5. Wake up early
