Daniel Lambraia details 10 snacks and foods that double for an excellent boost of metabolism, helping your body regulate and function with a healthy focus.
2. One of the main keys in losing weight is
actually to review your metabolism and to
find an eating schedule and diet that
caters to or increases the strength of your
body’s metabolic habits.
In this list, I’ve outlined 10 snacks and
foods that will help to increase your
metabolism naturally, keeping the goal of
a healthy and happy lifestyle in mind.
3. EGG WHITES
This healthy and light meal will help to
increase your metabolism and provide
you with loads of other good-for-you
nutrients. Packed with amino acids,
egg whites are always a good option
when hungry!
4. CHILI PEPPERS
The secret ingredient within chili
peppers that gives your metabolism a
boost is a chemical compound called
capsaicin. These spicy peppers also
give your body a healthy dose of
Vitamin C.
5. COFFEE
A surprise for many is that coffee is
actually good for you in the right
quantities and uses. It has even been
reported that the metabolic rate of
caffeinated coffee drinkers is about 16%
higher than for those who opt for decaf.
6. DARK CHOCOLATE
Perhaps a surprising addition to this
list, dark chocolate has a lot of health
benefits. Not only will it curb cravings,
it is full of rich antioxidants that make
the body more likely to absorb the
nutrients it needs.
7. AVOCADO
This protein packed snack is chock-full
of all 9 essential amino acids as well as
some omega-3 fatty acids – all in
addition to being great for your
metabolism.
8. TEMPEH
A more adventurous snack, this nougat-y
textured option can be added to any meal
and is especially great over a light salad.
9. ASPARAGUS
When it comes to nutrients, asparagus
reigns supreme. Packed with healthy
vitamins and more, this veggie can be
added to nearly any dish for a boost of
metabolism and plenty of other good-for-
you nutrients too.
10. TUNA
A delicious and lean option, tuna also
contains a good amount of omega-3 fatty
acids, creating an instant regulation of
metabolism in your body. This snack can
be used in various dishes such as in sushi,
or as the main protein of your dish.
11. ALMOND BUTTER
Almond butter is a great alternative to
the more hearty peanut butter usually
found in stores. With the nutrients of the
almonds and the texture and taste of
peanut butter, this creamy snack can be
added to anything!
12. GRAPEFRUIT
A sweet and tart treat, grapefruits are
also an excellent source of vitamins and
help to satisfy your citrus cravings all
while building you a stronger metabolism.
