Before we go to the answer of the question, we should start with "What is metabolism ?". Metabolism is the process of breaking down protein, carbohydrate, and fat in to energy so we can survive. Then the answer of "How to increase metabolism ?" is increase your need of energy, as above that we all need energy to survive.
Many of you already know that we can increase our need for energy by "movement" or what we called "exercise", however we cannot "exercise" all the time especially people who works in office. And here are some tips that can help you to increase your metabolism:
1. Keep Moving: Try to move your body all time, stand instead of sit, walk instead of stand.
2. Eat Protein: Since protein is harder for body to digest so it will need more energy to break down protein.
3. Eat More: This might confuse you, but if you eat small meal every 2-3 hours. Because every time you eat, it will trigger your metabolism process so be careful of what you eat. (Recommend eggs,
chicken, nuts, and vegetables)
4. Be a Sleeper: When you rest (sleep) your body can burn up to 70% of your total calories during daytime.
5. Afterburner: After intense exercise, your body can burn extra calories for 24 hours. (this call "Afterburn")
