When starting a physical fitness program, you already know that you need to do things like join a gym or set up some sort of workout plan. You’re also probably aware that diet and nutrition are going to have to play a big role in helping reshape your body while nourishing it. Keeping your metabolism in check throughout the day is another great way to make sure that you continue to see the results you expect. Following are a few ways that you can help boost your metabolism, even when you’re at work.
Take the Stairs
If you have access to your building stairway, take the stairs a couple of times a week. Just those regular, random bursts of energy can help speed up your metabolism and keep your heart racing. You’ll burn more calories, and you’ll feel more fit.
Sip Green Tea
A delicious cup of green tea every day can help boost your body’s levels of caffeine and epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG. EGCG has been shown to speed up metabolism, so drink your tea throughout the day to keep your motor burning!
Eat a Low-Sugar, High-Protein Breakfast
Eating breakfast is one of the best ways to boost your metabolism. Kick it up a notch by making it a high protein, low sugar breakfast. This combo works best at firing up your system. If you don’t have time to eat breakfast at home, bring it to your office and have it with your morning coffee (or green tea).
