Essentially, metabolism is the speed at which the motor of our body is running and the rate can be referred to as the amount of calories we burn per day. Approximate 60 to 75 percent of energy is used by the body in such activities when we are at rest or sleeping.
There are many ways you can boost your metabolism which include: not skipping meals, exercising everyday especially in the morning before breakfast, drinking plenty of water, eating foods with a high nutritional value, avoiding alcohol and sugar-laden foods, not fasting, and strengthening your bones and muscles to increase lean muscle tissue.
I recommend drinking green tea before exercising 30-60 mins before breakfast and then make sure you eat a snack if exercising longer or a well-balanced meal of protein, good fats and carbohydrates.
