5 Metabolism-Boosting Foods


You might be helping your body burn fat without even knowing, if you are one of those people who pour hot sauce on everything. Studies have shown that spicy foods will improve your heart rate and raise your metabolism in effect. Read our article to know more about foods that will boost your metabolism.

How Does Metabolism Work?

Your metabolism is in charge of your body. It controls how your body produces energy from food. Our metabolism controls our everyday activities, as well as breathing, thinking, digesting, circulating blood, and much more.

The metabolism includes our resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is our body’s energy for breathing, blood circulation, and other basic functions; the thermogenesis of the activity that is any activity or practice; and the thermal effects of nutrition. We consume calories only by eating to turn the food into energy.

How Does Food Affect Your Metabolism?

Many foods can boost or slow down the metabolism, which may influence weight loss. But the relationship is not basic or direct. For example, protein-rich foods increase our metabolism, but typically it is transient. The energy consumption at the meal is higher.

On the other side, it will encourage the body to use muscle for energy, which can result in lack of muscle mass, without consuming enough calories. Metabolism will stall as the body attempts to preserve its energy reserves.

5 Best Foods to Boost Your Metabolism

Spicy Food

Capsaicin is known as an appetite suppressant which gives chili peppers (such as Serrano peppers) spiciness. Indeed, one study showed that capsaicin can help turn white cells into brown (burning fat).

Avocado

The avocados are rich in good polyunsaturated fats, which encourage satiety. Avocados are large. A study published in the Diet Journal in November 2013 showed that adding half an avocado during lunch may contribute to the overweight happiness of people and the willingness to eat within hours of the meal.

As avocados are anti-inflammatory, they may have secondary effects. Inflammation can definitely interfere with many great things in your body including your metabolism.

Be conscious of serving sizes while you are trying to shed weight. A quarter of  avocado has 80 calories and 8 g of fat.

Beans

Beans are an ideal protein source to keep you satiated — and amino acids, protein building blocks can preserve your mass and thereby consume more calories while your body is at rest.

Green Tea

If you are desperate for something to drink, green tea is a perfect choice (as long as cream and sugar do not drown it). It is not only calorie-free, but also can help you burn additional calories.

Green tea has a metabolism-enhancing antioxidant called EGCG. You should drink around five cups with traditional green tea to get sufficient EGCG to affect your metabolism.

Whole Grains

As compared to processed grains, whole grains contain fibers that will fill you up, are anti-inflammatory and can help to control weight.
