Tasty Tuesday: Boost Your Metabolism

Here are a few simple ways to get your metabolism pumping in no time:

1. Drink Up! If you're even just a tad thirsty (or dehydrated) you run the risk of slowing your metabolism.
2. Get Moving in the Morning. An early morning sweat-session will get your metabolism running and therefore burning more calories for the rest of the day. Here are a few ways to get your heart pumping: two-mile jog, a quick cross-fit workout or abs/push-up/triceps dip (e.g., 100 crunches, 3-minute plank, 50 push-ups, 100 triceps dips) routine.
3. Eat Breakfast! The worst thing you can do to kick-start your day (and your metabolism) is skip breakfast. Click here for healthy breakfast options.
4. Eat Whole Grains. Complex carbs and fiber-rich foods help to speed up your metabolism. Whole grains are good, multigrain are not. If anything, just remember that!
5. Eat More, Smaller Meals. According to WebMD, if you divide your meals into smaller portions and eat more often, your metabolism will speed up. So, try to eat smaller bites throughout the day instead of three large meals. Click here for some healthy snack ideas!
