Fit By Sara: 5 Metabolism Boosters

Here are 5 simple ways to boost your metabolism!

1. Calcium- Speeds up basal metabolism. Get it through food vs. calcium supplements. Calcium rich foods include: milk, yogurt, and cheese. Non-diary options include tofu, calcium fortified soymilk, and salmon.

2. Fiber- Increases calorie consumption. Find it in beans, fresh fruit, veggies, and whole-grain breads.

3. Green Tea- Increases calorie consumption plus it has other health benefits. Green tea is loaded with anti-oxidants which can help reduce your risk for cancer and lower cholesterol!

4. Water- Aids in the digestion of food. Drink a minimum of 8-10 glasses per day.

5. Breakfast- Keeps your metabolism going so you’re less likely to eat too much at your next meal. My personal favorite is a combo of cereals- Kashi Go Lean Crunch and Autumn Wheat with 1% organic lowfat milk.
