4 Ways to Boost Your Morning Metabolism

We’re all looking for ways to lose weight and build a little muscle. It's good for your health and it looks great. However, many of us are not doing the most important things to achieve these goals.

One of the most important things you can do to lose weight and build muscle is to boost your metabolism - especially in the morning.

The Issue

Far too many of us go straight for coffee in the morning, perhaps eat some toast or cereal, and go on with our day.

There’s nothing wrong with a routine, but if your routine is limiting your metabolism, then you’re not moving closer towards your goals to get in shape.

The Solution

Boost your metabolism. For some reason, many people view metabolism and weight loss as a challenge, when truthfully, it's quite easy if you do it right.

Get your morning metabolism going with these strategies:

1. Balance your pH.

One of the most overlooked aspects to health and fitness programs is the pH balance. You may remember this from chemistry class in high-school.

PH is the acid/base balance, and when it comes to your body, high acidity can lead to obesity, fatigue, and other health implications.

● Balancing your pH levels in the morning can be a great way to start your day off on the right foot, enabling your metabolism to function as it should. The best way to balance your pH in the morning is to eat dark fruit and green, leafy vegetables.

● Not only will they help you balance your pH, but they’ll also increase your intake of fiber, which has been shown to decrease appetite and lead to weight loss.

2. Exercise.

Running, walking, biking, lifting weights - it doesn't really matter what you do as long as you’re making your muscles, heart, and lungs work.

● Although research has shown that you won't be able to train as hard as in the evening, a morning workout is one of the most effective methods to increase metabolism leading to weight loss.

3. Hydration.

Coffee is not hydration. In fact, it has a negative hydration effect due to its diuretic value. Although drinking coffee in the morning can make you feel more energized, it doesn’t promote a faster metabolism in the long run. But real hydration will.

● Drinking 7 or 8 glasses of water daily is recommended in order to stay as hydrated as possible.

4. Eat iron-rich food.

This is especially important in a world where food is processed, and nutrients are being stripped from their original sources.

Iron does more than we think, and emerging science is showing that it can have massive benefits to metabolism and overall vitality.

● Lack of iron can lead to anemia, fatigue, and overeating.

● Iron plays a crucial role in hemoglobin and erythrocyte production, both of which help to transport working nutrients and oxygen to muscle and other internal systems.

New science is even showing that iron may be an important mechanism to assist in protein digestion.

● Eating iron-rich foods can help you to increase your metabolism and live a life with greater vitality and lack of fatigue.

Habits shape who we are. Perhaps you have a habit of having a cup of coffee with a muffin each morning.

Of course, this is not the end of the world, but if your goals are to get stronger, boost metabolism, and lose weight, then it becomes important that you look to other methods.

If you're looking to rev up your morning metabolism, take care to balance your pH, exercise regularly, hydrate, and eat iron rich foods each morning.

5 Ways to Get Yourself to Eat More Veggies

Most doctors and health professionals will agree: there are no foods that are healthier than vegetables. Trouble is, most people find that eating vegetables on a daily basis is challenging.

Think back to when you were a child, slapping the broccoli out of your parent's hands. You weren’t into veggies in the first place.

Getting into it now, when no one is forcing you to eat it, can be even harder.

Truth is, vegetables are essential to your health. Let’s break down some of the best ways to motivate yourself to eat more veggies.

Juice Your Veggies

Juicing machines have become very popular in the past couple years for good reason. Many people don’t like to spend the time to cook and eat their veggies.

Why not juice them in a snap, drink a glass, and get 3-5 servings in a couple gulps?

Juicing your veggies with fruit will help to make the drink taste sweeter and still enable you to get much of the essential nutrients needed for healthy cell maintenance and growth.

Keep in mind that juicing your vegetables limits the amount of fiber that you get from them. You’ll need to get your fiber from grain-rich foods when you use the juicer.

Understand They’re Essential

Unless you’re willing to supplement with a multivitamin each day, veggies are essential to your diet.

Not only do they provide the bulk of your fiber, but they also contain critical nutrients like vitamins and minerals to balance hormones, enable growth, and strengthen hair, skin, nails, and much more.

Skipping your veggies means skipping a great source of low-calorie fuel to help your body maintain growth and performance.

They Reduce Onset of Disease

Many diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes have a treatment option of increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables.

They’re no substitute for medical advice but eating your veggies could be one of the best preventable measures you can take to ensure you are always getting the best spectrum of nutrients for optimal health.

Endless Variety

Don't like broccoli? No worries, there’s an endless variety of vegetables. From Asia to North America, vegetables are plentiful at any local supermarket.

You can enjoy a different set of vegetables each day, so you’ll never get bored with the same ones.

They’re Inexpensive

On a tight budget? No problem. Vegetables are likely the cheapest addition to your grocery list. It’s no wonder many people go vegetarian for this reason.

Research shows that you can save around $1000 a year on groceries by swapping meat products for more veggies.

We’re not saying take meat out of your diet - this is your choice. But if you’re on a budget, vegetables are a very inexpensive and an economically sustainable way to get your calories and nutrients.

At the end of the day, eating veggies comes down to a personal choice and your own motivation. If you consider all the health and cost benefits, surely, you’ll choose to take some time to get your daily dose of kale in.
