Four
Food To Increase Metabolism
-
Hot
Peppers:Eating hot peppers can speed up your metabolism
and cool your cravings, researchers at Laval University
in Canada has found.
This is due to capsaicin (a chemical found in
jalapeno and cayenne peppers) which temporarily
stimulates your body to release more stress hormones.
The hormones will speed up up your metabolism
and cause you to burn more calories.
-
Broccoli:Broccoli
is a good source of calcium and weight loss. Besides
calcium, broccoli is also loaded with vitamin
C, which boosts calcium absorption. This member
of the nutritious cabbage family also has plenty
of vitamin A, folate and fiber.
And, at just 20-calories per cup, this weight-loss
superfood not only fights fat but also contains
powerful phytochemicals that boost your immunity
and protect against disease.
-
Low-Fat
Yogurt:Dairy products can boost weight loss efforts,
according to a study in the April issue of Obesity
Research. People on a reduced-calorie diet who
included three to four servings of dairy foods
lost significantly more weight than those who
ate a low-dairy diet containing the same number
of calories.
Low-fat yogurt is a rich source of weight-loss-friendly
calcium, providing about 450 mg (about half the
recommended daily allowance for women ages 19-50)
per 8-ounce serving, as well as 12 grams of protein.
As far as superfood go Yogurt is right there.
It includes calcium, protein and a ton of other
nutrients as well as good bacteria for your digestive
tract.

Lean
Turkey: Rev up your fat-burning engine with this
bodybuilder favorite. Countless studies have shown
that protein can help boost metabolism, lose fat
and build lean muscle tissue so you burn more
calories.
A 3-ounce serving of boneless, skinless lean turkey
breast weighs in at 120 calories and provides
26 grams of appetite-curbing protein, 1 gram of
fat and 0 grams of saturated fat.
