7 Foods That Help Boost Metabolism
(CBS4) DENVER One of the best ways to lose weight is to speed up your metabolism, and one way to speed up your metabolism is to eat. But what you eat is key, CBS4's Dr. Dave Hnida reports.Food and metabolism has been studied quite a bit, and turns out there are foods that are the true "fast foods" (foods that can rev up the rate at which you burn calories.)Green tea: An extract in green tea speeds metabolism. Grapefruit: The Scripps Clinic says some special chemicals in grapefruit help trigger weight loss.Low Fat Yogurt: The combination of calcium and protein puts this on the list, with or without fruitLean Turkey: It's the best fat burning meat out there, and the reason has something to do with the proteinChicken and Rice Soup: A study from Penn State finds chicken and rice soup speeds metabolism, especially when eaten before a meal.Broccoli: Hnida says he really dislikes broccoli, but it doesn't mean it doesn't belong on this list.Hot Peppers: "If you like Mexican food you're in luck," Hnida said. "It's not really the burrito that will speed your metabolism up, but the chili peppers that you put on top of them. These things contain a secret ingredient called capsaicin, and it not only makes your nose run but it makes your metabolism run, and not only does it burn your mouth but also helps you burn calories."Other things that will speed your metabolism include eating smaller meals, drinking lots of water and exercise. The best exercise is weight training, since muscle burns more calories than other tissues.Things that slow your metabolism include lack of sleep, lack of exercise and fasting.CBS4 Video:
