Daily Fit Tip: 5 ways to burn calories better
Posted on Jun 6th 2008 6:00AM by Rigel CelesteFiled Under: Daily Fit Tip
Want to be the best calorie-burning machine you can be? Just follow these five tips from Natural Health:
#1 Eat a good breakfast
Yes, breakfast is the most important meal when it comes to getting your metabolism revved up -- eat breakfast and burn more calories all throughout the day!
#2 Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're not
If you pay attention to your body and eat only when you're hungry (and stop once you feel full), you'll burn calories at the most efficient rate -- which means pretty much using them up as you eat them.
#3 Drink more water
Staying hydrated helps your liver function more efficiently and considering its main jobs include flushing out toxins and converting fat to energy, that's a good thing!
#4 Take probiotics
Probiotics (found in yogurt, kefir, and probiotic supplements) help balance the digestive system and metabolism, which means improved weight loss.
#5 Spice things up
Eating spicy foods (those with chili peppers and paprika in particular) make you feel warm inside because they actually do raise your body temperature (and a higher body temp means a faster metabolism and more calories burned) for up to 30 minutes after you're finished eating.
