May 8, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Remember to check if you have any medical condition that slows your metabolism there are several condition that decrease metabolism such as hypothyroidism for example treating the cause will inhance the metabolic rate :
here are several ways to inhance your metabolism naturally:
-Eating a healthy balanced diet is recommended for many reasons. One way to help increase metabolism is to include some metabolism boosting foods(which are more in fiber food and vitamins and others)as part of a healthy balanced diet.
-Drinking enough water is a good idea. Many people do not drink the recommended amount of water. Drinking enough water can help to increase your metabolism. Drinking cold or "iced" water can help to increase your metabolism even more because when you drink ice-cold water, your body also uses energy to warm it up to body temperature.
-Use of stimulants such as drinking coffee are said to help increase metabolic rate - but do bear in mind that excessive consumption of caffeine isn't recommended for various other reasons.
-Don't drink too much alcohol. The human body can't store alcohol so must metabolize it immediately. When alcohol is broken down (in the liver) it can affect the body's transport mechanisms for fats - leading to more fats in the blood stream, and so ultimately laid down as fat around the body. As stated above, fat tissues do not use energy when the body is at rest, but muscle tissue does.
-Eating breakfast, i.e. a meal early in the day (not necessarily a "Full English" or an American-style tower of pancakes!) rather than eating most of a daily dietary intake later in the day can help to increase metabolism.
-Eating small/modest amounts of food several times per day instead of eating the same amount in one large meal helps to increase metabolism because of the effect of insulin, a hormone involved in metabolism.
