A slow metabolism can be fixed and improved. And it’s usually a lot more straightforward that you may think.

How to boost your metabolism

We'll look at the many way's in which we can boost our metabolism in just a while.

But before those, I'll share with you my number 1 way you can safely do this for yourself, today.

Stop Crash Dieting

If you take nothing else away from reading this post other than stopping (or considering) a crash diet to lose weight, then I'll consider that to be a success.

Crash dieting over long periods of time can severely disrupt our hormone function within out bodies.

And for some people this takes months, even years to correct. 

These types of diets actually result in more weight gain due to the hormone imbalance.

Anyway....

...that's enough of a rant about crash dieting for now. 

I've found a great video by Dr Axe which explains how to naturally boost your metabolism. 

He's a pretty cool guy, and I really liked this video.

It's only a few minutes long and he'll walk you through each of the steps to take to increase your metabolism. 


Increasing Metabolism

As I mentioned above, boosting your metabolism is not as complicated as you may have thought.

If you use the steps in the video about - plus some common sense as to what to eat and when to rest your body, you'll do just fine.

The important thing to remember is that this will not be an overnight process. It will take a bit of time - but it will be worth it.
