Which foods increase metabolism?
Your body converts food into fuel. The faster your metabolism is, the faster your body can turn nutrients from food into energy. Having a slow metabolism means your body tends to store nutrients as fat instead of burning them up. A high metabolism diet aims to make your metabolism faster, so you burn fat instead of storing it.
For most people, processed foods, breads, pastas and grains are foods that block a properly functioning metabolism!
Switching to a whole-food diet is the first step to boost your metabolism. Certain foods that aid in the process are:
- Almonds
- Beans
- Berries
- Celery
- Chia seeds
- Apple cider vinegar
- Cinnamon
- Coconut oil
- Fish
- Grape fruit
- Green tea
- Lean Turkey
- Lean meat
- Egg whites
- Lentils
