Foods That Will Boost Your Metabolism

By Dora Hector


There are many types of metabolism boosting foods that a person can incorporate in his or her diet in order to lose weight quickly, and maintain the desired weight. Safe and long term weight loss only occurs when a person exercises, eats the right foods and burns more calories than he or she intakes on a typical day. The following are some of the best metabolism boosting foods available in the market.

Broccoli and Spinach - Metabolism is the process of turning fat into energy. Broccoli and spinach are two foods that help to speed up this process. Spinach is a good source of many nutrients including Vitamin C, iron, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants and these can help to improve your overall health. Broccoli is also a great source of Vitamin C, which may help the body absorb calcium more efficiently. Since calcium is considered to boost metabolism, this can be a good food choice for those looking to lose weight.

Green Tea & Coffee - Green tea is a common ingredient in many diet pills because it contains EGCG or epigallocatechin gallate, which boosts metabolism by speeding up brain function and the nervous system. Adding a bit of cinnamon to the tea can lower your cholesterol and maintain sugar levels while improving the taste as well. Coffee contains caffeine, a stimulant which will force the body to increase metabolism to provide enough energy to keep you active through the day.

Jalapenos and Curry - One of the best metabolism boosting foods is jalapenos, which contains capcaisin. This compound is known to increase the body's metabolism and heart rate for several hours after being ingested. Curry also has the same benefits as jalapenos. When preparing your meals, you can always add cayenne pepper, among other spices, to not only enhance the taste of your meals but also to increase your metabolism.

You should always take care to balance the meals you are eating on any diet plan. Proteins should come from white meats like chicken or tuna or from legumes such as beans. You should avoid processed foods, deep fried foods, and alcoholic beverages. Also avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Drink plenty of water, increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat, and you should start to see improvements in just a few weeks.
