What to eat in the morning to speed up your metabolism?
The right foods will help speed up your metabolism. But skipping breakfast is definitely not worth it.
Many processes in the body depend on metabolism. Its main task is to digest food and turn it into energy. Thus, metabolism “supplies” the body with the necessary “fuel” for vital activity. The process itself can be fast or slow. With a fast metabolism you can lose weight in a short period of time and without much effort, with a slow metabolism it will not be easy. To achieve the desired results, metabolism “accelerate”. For example, with the help of a proper breakfast. What products in the morning will help in solving this problem, tells nutriciologist Anna Berseneva.
We start with water
To start and accelerate metabolism, nutriciologist recommends starting the day with the restoration of water balance. Immediately after rising, you should drink a glass of water, preferably hot and with a slice of lemon. “Hot” does not mean “boiling water” – the temperature should be slightly above body temperature, that is 45-50 degrees. This will help to start all the important processes in the body, including metabolism.
What happens if you drink water on an empty stomach, see in the video “Championship”.
Do not forget about protein and fiber
The expert advises to eat something protein for breakfast. For example, an egg, a small piece of white meat or roast beef with whole-grain bread or crackers. Combine this with vegetables or greens that contain fiber.
Among vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, arugula, and green beans are great. Of the flavorful herbs you can use cilantro, dill, parsley and basil. As an option, as a healthy breakfast, you can prepare a sandwich of a protein component, vegetables and greens. Protein and dietary fiber together are good for metabolism.
Adding spices
You can also add spices to your food, such as in porridge, to speed up your metabolism. To accelerate metabolism include cinnamon, ginger, turmeric. You can also add special MCT coconut oil (a by-product of coconut oil).
Its usefulness is explained by the content of triglycerides: these compounds bypass the usual digestive process for fats and, breaking down already in the stomach into individual fatty acids, go directly to the liver. And there they are converted into energy. This not only gives additional strength, but also has a positive effect on brain activity.
