Can Foods Speed Up your Metabolism?
June 23, 2009
It’s the great news if you can found the food that increase metabolism, because you can eat delicious food but still lose weight. Speed up your metabolism will help you to burn calorie faster and as you know that if you can burn 3500 calories, you will lose one pound.
But how the food can speed up your metabolism? Well, that food will speed up your metabolism by raising your body temperature. The scientific name for this is "thermogenic" ("therm" means heat, and "-genic" means to create). Some studies show that these foods triple your body's ability to burn calories for fuel instead of storing them for fat! Really a great news, right?
And here another food that increase metabolism:
Cayenne Pepper
It's probably most obvious with cayenne pepper that spicy food that increase metabolism by raising your body temperature. So here's a tip: just use a pinch to achieve its metabolism-boosting benefit, and to ensure that you don't make your recipe TOO spicy! I use a pinch in my deviled eggs, add it to salsa, and I've even made a spicy chocolate sauce for duck that uses cayenne pepper.
Ginger
You can use ginger in its fresh (root) form or in powder form. You can find the fresh root in the produce section of your grocery store. Always peel it before you use it. Just break off a 1 to 2-inch piece, and use a paring knife or peeler to remove the skin. Then you can either grate it or slice it. If you grate it, try adding it to smoothies or salad dressings.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon can be used in just about anything sweet, but it also adds an exotic flavor to savory recipes. Try to add it about 1/2 a teaspoon in your coffee grounds before you brew the coffee. Sprinkle it over ice cream, or over your toast.
