How to speed up basal metabolism

Everyone metabolizes every day. Fast metabolism is not good, and slow metabolism is even worse. Only normal metabolism can ensure the normal operation of our body, and metabolic balance can ensure that people are relatively healthy. However, if you want to lose weight, you also need to speed up the basal metabolism, because only when the metabolic consumption is greater than the energy generated by dietary intake can you lose weight. Therefore, many people in life think of speeding up the basal metabolism. So how to speed up the basal metabolism? The following is a detailed answer to this question.

1. Intermittent exercise. It’s easy to develop “exercise boredom” when spending a whole block of time each day exercising, and the same goes for your body. In daily exercise, interspersing interval training with different intensities can help prevent exercise boredom and burn more calories in the same amount of time. For example, after walking for 5 minutes, jog for 1 minute; after cycling at a normal speed for 5 minutes, ride a bike at a fast speed for 1 minute.

2. Move your hands and feet when you have nothing to do. Studies have found that regularly moving your fingers and shaking your legs can burn at least 500 more calories a day. Based on this calculation, you can lose 1 pound (about 0.9 kilograms) in a week. Prepare an elastic fitness ball so that you can hold it in your hands and squeeze it anytime and anywhere. This simple and easy move helps to strengthen the hand muscles while burning a lot of calories.

In our lives, everyone needs to metabolize, and the speed of metabolism is related to our physical health. Therefore, it is better to maintain a normal metabolic level. However, for people who want to lose weight, they need to speed up their basal metabolism, because this will help them lose weight. The methods introduced above to speed up basal metabolism are recommended for everyone to actively learn in life.
