Green Tea Natural Energy Fusion provides 100 mg of the metabolism booster EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate/Green Tea Catechin) per serving! Many of the potential health benefits of Green Tea are attributed to the catechins, natural polyphenols that are powerful antioxidants. EGCG is the most potent of the green tea catechins to increase metabolism. Green Tea Natural Energy Fusion provides L Theanine, an amino acid whose only major source is green tea. L-Theanine is reported to support mental concentration and focus. L-theanine is marketed in Japan as a nutritional supplement for mood support. Organic Japanese Green Tea and South American Yerba Maté are believed to increase the break down of sugars and fats in the body into energy. Guaraná has been used for many years in South American energy drinks. The Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics published a study in June 2001 showing weight loss in a group drinking Yerba Maté and Guaraná.
Eat Right
Obviously, apart from exercise, the other key factor to boosting metabolism is to eat right. We need to begin the day right. Past research found that eating a healthy breakfast has a close link to keeping the weight off. When sleeping, our metabolism slows down, and breaking the fast with a morning meal increases one’s metabolism. So…. you must be thinking, “How does one rev up one’s metabolism?” Well, it’s a matter of consuming foods, drinks or spices that (i) have a thermogenic effect, (ii) fill your stomache with less calories or (iii) seem to contribute to weight loss itself.
Dark Chocolate
Research shows that Dark chocolate (not milk chocolate or dark chocolate consumed with milk) is a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments. To benefit from antioxidant properties and cocoa's polyphenols, stick with products that are 60 percent cocoa or more.
Dark chocolate has medically been proven to also reduce blood pressure, diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis and many more. It is also a histamine blocker, helping decrease stomach acid and possibly improving digestion. It has been found that dark chocolate and cocoa-based foods help stabilize blood sugar levels, increasing insulin sensitivity and proper glucose metabolism and as such, if the sugar in your blood is utilized properly, it doesn't convert into fat. Dark chocolate is loaded with key neurotransmitters like tryptophan, serotonin and dopamine. These nutrient chemicals in cocoa can lower the risk of depression and suppress one's appetite and block food cravings.
Theobromine, found in abundance in cocoa, is associated with weight loss and increased energy. Fiber in cocoa is linked to decreased weight and helps block some fat absorption whilst giving a feeling of fullness. Studies show that individuals who consume dark chocolate and cocoa-based foods tend to lose weight and have increased energy. Consumption: Remember, moderation is key.
Carrots are good source of Vitamin A. They make good snack food that can keep your metabolism going and help with satiety. Carrot sticks also contain less calories compared to a pack of potato chips. Plus, a bowl of carrots (about 100 calories) looks like a lot more food than a handful of potato chips. You can trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more.
Broccoli is high in water content. It also contains potassium and it’s full of folate, which helps to reduce blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium and boost immunity respectively. Moreover, its high water content makes it a “feel full” food.
A big low-calorie salad is an excellent way to start a meal. Simply add water-rich veggies like cucumbers, celery and tomatoes instead of creamy dressings and top with spices like basil and rosemary for added flavour. You can also fix yourself a flavour filled salad as a mid-day snack. Just be careful of the dressing you use. It’s best to opt for a low-calorie or just use less of a higher-calorie salad dressing.
CinnamonCinnamon is not only anti-microbial, which is beneficial to boosting one’s immune system, but it is also commonly used by Type 2 diabetics to help keep insulin levels in check. Too much insulin encourages fat storage in one’s body versus burning it. Hence, it’s good to add one-half teaspoon of cinnamon a day to foods such as yoghurt, oatmeal or even drinks like fruit juices.
GingerGinger contains capsaicin, thought to give one’s metabolism a little boost. It is also great for anti-nausea and detoxifying. Simply enjoyment: Cut off a piece of ginger root, boil it for several minutes in water, add ice to the liquid and drink it as a tea. You can also add ginger to smoothies or ice water with lemon.
Hot PeppersHot peppers are a thermogenic food because they contain capsaicin, which helps to raise your body temperature and energy usage. Sprinkling some cayenne pepper onto a meal or dicing up jalapenos and adding them to food even in smaller amount is still beneficial. Spicy foods are also good for your immune system and increase satiety.
SoupSoup prepared with vegetables is healthy yet filling. A big part of keeping your metabolism revved up is to take frequent small meals – without eating more calories. Soup has high water content and it’s lower in calories. Plus, you get the goodness from all the vegetables in the soup.
Low-Fat YogurtOpt for low-fat yogurt versus fat-free to get your calcium fix. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) found in low-fat yogurt has been thought to reduce body fat and improve body make-up.
OatmealBreakfast is the most important meal of the day and what you eat can make all the difference. Oatmeal is the perfect choice because it contains both complex carbohydrates and fiber. It takes longer to digest, providing a slow release of energy versus overproducing insulin, which causes sharp increase in energy and encourages your body to store fat. Eating oatmeal pumps up your metabolism by keeping your insulin steady.
