It is known that bodies differ from each other, and this in turn applies to burning fat. While some people burn calories quickly and effectively, others complain about the slowness of this process, and their inability to reach the desired number on the scale.

Metabolism is a term that describes all the chemical reactions that occur in the body, which are very important for the efficient functioning of the body, also known as the “metabolic rate”, which refers to the number of calories you burn. The higher the metabolic rate, the higher the calorie burn, which helps in effective weight loss, and gives you the energy to complete your tasks throughout the day.

There are easy ways to increase metabolism, according to the “Times of India” website, most notably:

– Starting the day early

To start the day on a healthy note, get a good night’s sleep of at least 7 to 8 hours, as good sleep is associated with greater chances of successful weight loss. You can do stretching exercises in the morning and before eating breakfast to maintain your health.

Keeping active while working

Most people occupy desk jobs, but you must stay active at work in order to maintain your metabolic rate. If you work at a sedentary job, take short breaks for movement as it is not only beneficial for losing weight, but also for increasing your productivity and ability to focus at work.

Eat a nutritious meal for lunch, which includes protein and other metabolism-boosting ingredients, and avoid snacks such as chips, chocolate, cake or candy.

– Eat smart

There are some foods that can help you burn more calories, such as foods rich in protein, since they are more difficult to digest and support muscle mass growth if you do strength training.

The same applies to fiber, which needs to be chewed more vigorously and consumes energy to break down. Adding spices to your food is another way to increase your body temperature a bit to burn more calories.

Combining foods rich in protein and fiber can help curb cravings for long hours.

– Playing sports

There is no doubt that exercise is the most effective way to increase your metabolic rate, and intense exercise can rev your metabolic engine for hours even after your workout session.

Resistance exercises that help build muscle are beneficial in boosting your metabolism in the long run, even basic exercises that help burn calories.

Add protein to meals

Protein-rich foods increase your metabolic rate, make you feel fuller for longer and prevent you from overeating. A recent study found that people are likely to eat 441 fewer calories per day when protein makes up 30 percent of their diet.
