Jueves! Ahh yes almost there 
Happy Thursday friends! Looking forward to a break in the heat with a little shower here and there. Yes, I like rain every now and again. All day for several days not so much. But a break in the heat and sun…definitely I remember when we lived in Sunny South Florida for several years, by friends up North would think I was nuts when I would be so happy to get a break from the perfect weather with a little rain. Kind of shakes this up & breaks the monotony I read an article this morning that I am going to share with you today. I have the misfortune of having a slow metabolism and have worked on getting it going my whole life. I’ve tried practically everything on the market that screamed “boost your metabolism and lose weight”. Quick fixes were my thing for many years. And yes I have to admit that every now and again I freak out when I slack off and I don’t like how I feel in my clothes. My brain spirals out of control and wish for that “miracle pill”. Truth is there is none and we have to maintain. Not go crazy. Enjoy life and implement a healthy lifestyle so that we/I don’t go crazy and ENJOY the experience not stress over it
Natural Metabolism Boosters Eating small meals every 2-3 hours has worked for me immensely in speeding up my metabolism, however any added advice is greatly appreciated According to The Mayo Clinic and Livestrong.com there are several natural ways that are key to boosting our metabolism which is critical in burning fat and managing weight.
- Gain Muscle: ahh yes we ladies hear gain muscles (at least for the most part) and we freak out. Forget “gain muscle” think TONE Muscles, unlike fat, is an active tissue that raises the rate of the metabolism. A little weight and resistance training can help loads. Very important to implement in your weekly schedule/routine.
- H2O: Nature’s gift Love it! Not only is it so important to release toxins from our body and keep our digestive system in track, but its also essential in the metabolism process. The lack there of slows the rate down greatley. Want an added boost? Drink your water ice cold. Your body needs to heat it up to room temperature and burns extra calories doing so.
- Cardio: Cardiovascular activity no matter how vigorous it is is also a natural & essential way to boost your metabolism, so GET MOVING!
- Coffee: Ahhhhhh Java Can’t, and so happy do not, have to live without you Coffee raises the metabolism friends! So sit back and enjoy. I know I look forward to my cup every morning. Knowing now that its helping with my metabolism….even more so
Get that Metabolism Going & Have a Great Day!
Besos y Abrazos…xoxo “…Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Alante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!”
