Products to Help Speed Up Metabolism

Metabolism is the chemical response in the cells of our body that turns the food from fuel into energy so that we can move, think, exercise and everything else. If the metabolism stops running, then the living thing will die. The metabolism function is like that of a furnace. If we feed it (fuel), then it will burn and run smoothly, but if we don't feed it (with fuel) then it eventually will slow down and not put out as much energy. It's important to keep our metabolism running high so we can burn fat.

CLA

• CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. CLA is a supplement that aids in speeding up the metabolism and is used by both men and women. The benefits of CLA can help you burn fat, improve your muscle or fat, improve the immune system, maintain a steady and normal insulin level and most of all improve energy.

  You should only take the recommended dosage that is directed on the bottle and consult your doctor before taking any type of medication that may interfere with other medications that you may be taking.

Cayenne Pepper

• Cayenne pepper is a good spicy spice that will fire up your metabolism fast. Any spice that is spicy acts as a thermagenic, which means it heats up the body. It takes calories and energy to cool your body down therefore speeding up the metabolism.

  Cayenne pepper is commonly used in the household as a spice that is ground but there are red pepper flakes that can be used as well. Red pepper flakes are cayenne or hot peppers seeds that have not been grounded. Try a sprinkle of the flakes on some of your foods to spice them up and at the same time fire up your metabolism.

Protein

• Protein is one of the best sources to speed metabolism. It takes the body longer to process the protein than it does fats or carbohydrates. Protein also helps keep you fuller longer. When you take in protein, it helps feed the muscles, especially after a workout. Protein helps build and repair muscles which in turn, will help you burn fat even at rest.

  Some of the best protein sources you can eat are chicken breast, turkey, egg whites, peanut butter, salmon, whey protein and fish. Out of this list, eggs are the best source of protein you can eat to speed your metabolism.
