So what are these magical foods that people swear will boost our metabolism and help us with our overall health? Read on to find out and then see if they work for you, as well.
Pistachios
Maybe it’s the fact that it takes forever to consume these because they are so hard to crack, but they also make your metabolism work just a bit faster. We recommend it because it’s going to help your metabolism work harder.
Papaya
It contains something that regulates your digestive system, which then makes your metabolism work a bit harder. It’s also delicious and very summery. It makes you want to have a fruity drink and a few hours by the pool.
Almond Butter
Yes, butter. Well, almond butter; but it’s good. Since it’s low-glycemic, it helps to keep your blood sugar where it needs to be. Since sudden spikes are what slow your metabolism, it helps to have something on hand that will make it possible for you to stay regulated.
Kale
It’s filled with both protein and fiber. These are great because they help you to feel full for a longer period of time. When you feel full longer, you make it possible to eat less. It also boosts your metabolism so that you can lose weight while doing nothing.
Salmon
We all love salmon, so the fact that it contains things that help us boost our metabolism is a good thing. This is a great meal to have once or twice a week when it’s been baked with lemon. It’s healthy, and it encourages a more powerful metabolism.
