Sports, good sleep, and even nutrition can speed up basic metabolism. We tell you what you should add to your daily diet to burn more calories.
- Ground hot red pepper
The Oxford Polytechnic Institute found that this spice (also called cayenne pepper) accelerates metabolism by 15-20 % within 2-3 hours after eating.
- Cinnamon
The substances contained in cinnamon, acting on insulin molecules, improve the carbohydrate and fat metabolism of a person, on average, by 20 % (data from the research unit of the US Department of Agriculture).
- Ginger
This root contains organic acids that stimulate the production of gastric juice enzymes. Moreover, the effect of such an impact is significant — human metabolism accelerates by an average of 20 %.
- Mustard
Just half a teaspoon of strong mustard will accelerate the metabolism by an additional 20-25 %. The fact is that the isothiocyanates contained in mustard stimulate the production of hormones responsible for the processing of fat into energy.
- Water
After a glass of cold water, the body will have to mobilize energy from fat cells to warm it up, and it will accelerate the metabolism by 30 % at once. However, to achieve this effect, you must cool the water to 5 °С.
