This article provides tips on how to detoxify the body and increase your metabolism. As we all know, a faster metabolism is the key to quick weight loss. So, let's get started, shall we?
Detox your Body Naturally
It is important to detoxify your body regularly to help it work at its best potential. Here are some foods you can have to detox your body naturally and very easily. Once your organs begin working more efficiently, they will aid in overall fitness of the body.
• Strawberries & Cherries: Cherries and strawberries are rich sources of ellagic acid, a nutrient that fights the toxins and pollutants in the body and gets rid of free radicals.
• Grapes: Grapes are a rich treasure-house of flavinols. They help the blood run smoothly through the body and keep the arteries working in mint condition.
• Citrus Fruits: All citrus fruits are great sources of vitamins C & E. They cleanse the liver and keep it work efficiently.
• Prunes: Prunes are known for their colon cleansing properties. In addition, they also stimulate the gut and help the body get rid of waste more efficiently.
• Apricots: Apricots are rich in Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Smokers especially will benefit from eating apricots since it repairs the damage caused by smoking to the lungs.
• Cranberries: Cranberries contain proanthocyanidin. These antioxidants cleanse the kidneys and flush out the toxins.
Increase your Metabolism
After having detoxified your body, it is now time to increase your metabolism so your body can process the stored fats faster and help you lose weight quicker.
• Drink Iced Water: While this suggestion might not be all that great for your throat, drinking iced water causes the body to burn up to one hundred calories since it needs to heat the water and bring it to regular body temperature.
• Green tea: Research has proved that having green tea, five times a day, can burn up to 80 calories. Just like that! The antioxidants present in green tea are known to boost your body's metabolism. So, no need to walk or pump iron or jog endless miles. Just sip green tea in the comforts of your home and lose weight.
• Mustard and Chilli Sauce: If you are not averse to hot & spicy foods, mustard and chilli sauce can boost your body's calorie burning capacity by 5 to 10%. These foods contain capsaicin, a compound that speeds up your metabolism.
• Low Fat Dairy Foods: Low-fat dairy food items are a great source of calcium. In an effort to break down and process the calcium, the body is forced to fat from the cells, thereby burning stored fat in the body. In addition, low-fat dairy products also reduce the amount of fat absorbed by the body. Not only do they help you lose weight fast, you can also keep it from coming back easily.
