Formula for boosting metabolism.

Generally speaking, everyone’s metabolism works pretty well. But just as you’d maintain your car, you need to fill your body with the right fuel to ensure it runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The best metabolism-boosting strategy involves starting your day well rested, after 7 to 9 hours of sleep, to keep your hunger, stress, and sugar-metabolizing hormones balanced. Follow that up with a breakfast that’s high in protein and whole grains, to get your body working soon after rising. Always keep a bottle of water handy to keep your engine well lubricated. Avoid skipping meals, and when you do eat, say no thanks to ultra-processed foods. Go easy on the booze, too; your body will focus on getting rid of the alcohol first, before metabolizing the food. And while you’re at it, call in reinforcements: nurture your gut microbiome so the good bugs can help you digest foods efficiently and maximize your metabolism potential. All of these habits, along with exercise and getting more steps in your day, can set you on a path to a healthier, more energy-efficient you.
