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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
