CureYourBody.com is excited to announce the launch of
its new forums. The next several months will be critical to setting up the
forums the way you want them to be. So
if you feel we should add more categories or sub forums, please let us know.
We'll add sub forums on our own as well, if we feel a
large number of posts are being made on a specific topic. For example, "Colon Cleansing" was added as a sub forum to the Gastroenterology forum since there seems
to be a lot of posts for that specific subject.
Among the best ways is exercise. This includes aerobic workouts to burn more calories in the short term, and weight training to build the muscles that will boost your metabolism in the long run.Define your goals and choose the right equipment. While good nutrition is vital to getting the most out of any exercise program, it's especially important for weight training. And if you're thinking fruits and vegetables, you're only partly right. Experts say muscles also require protein.
One of the things I usually express to patients is that the only way they are officially "excused" from exercise is if they do NOT have any arms and legs - and even then, pelvic thrusts, etc... may certainly be appropriate.
That said, movement of any type is usually encouraged, but I will have to suggest as BB above that in order to achieve true long-term weight management, resistance training of any capacity is likely superior in this plight.
The rationale is a bit more complex however, but it can be read about in much greater detail in my e-book:
When comparing resistance vs. cardio, the ideal strategy would be to increase the number of relative mitochondria present in the body and while it is true, more oxidative metabolism occurs with cardiovascular training, it is the muscle fiber type trained that dictates resistance training's superiority. Cardiovascular activity usually stimulates what is known as a type I muscle fiber and resistance activity, a suggestive subset of type II's. While type II fibers are subject to more hypertrophy (growth) and type I's are not, there is more relative increases in the number of mitochondria with resistance training versus cardio, even though gram for gram or pound for pound, there are more mitochondria per type I fiber.
If this went too far in depth, please feel free to ask questions, continue to discuss below.
Every exercise that you can think of increases your metabolism. When you do exercises ,especially gym exercises, muscles in our body use the calories for energy in building and strethening our muscles. The more you do exercises, your metabolism rate increases and you are also building muscles in your body.

So if you stop exercising does your metabolism plummet?
Yes, less exercise lowers your metabolism. Whenever you do exercises or just move your body increases your metabolism and it is a good way to lose weight also.
Yes, it is. Metabolism is a key to dieting and losing weight. The higher the metabolism, the faster it is to burn foods as energy. If the metabolism is slower, it also slows down burning the food hence it is stored in the body as fats.
That’s why people who do not exercise have a slow metabolism rate and become obese. Raising your metabolism rate can help you lose weight and tone your body.
Along the with a good exercise regimen, there are certain foods that can aid in boosting your metabolism.
Foods such as:
Soybeans, Garlic, Peppers - cheyenne, chilies, horseradish, Almonds, Spinach, Turkey, Peanut Butter, Berries and it is said that Eggs are the best food at speeding up the metabolism.
Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, Asparagus, Carrots, Celery, Beets, Cucumber, Radishes and Lettuce are also said to aid in fat elimination by the minerals they individually carry which vary between them ( magnesium, iodine, sulphur, asparagine, carotene, calcium and iron ).
Cheyenne and chili, are you sure these will speed up our metabolism?
Spicy foods contain chemical compounds that kick the metabolism into high gear. Eating a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili pepper can temporarily boost your metabolic rate by 23 percent. Some studies suggest the effect only lasts about half an hour, but if you eat spicy foods often, the benefits may add up. For a quick boost, spice up pasta dishes, chili, and stews with red-pepper flakes.
In the past five years cayenne pepper has been used in fat burners. Cayenne has thermagenic (heats up your body) properties. When your body has to cool itself down it requires calories to do so. Thus, creating a fire for your metabolism.
You don’t have to eat spices to speed up your metabolism and you need exercise also. This is not applicable for people who don’t eat spicy food or spices. Better to have a daily exercise because it also helps boosting your metabolism.

A exercise regiment of some sort should be appplied regardless of what you eat. But for all of us that love spicy food it is good to know that it does benefit your metabolism.
Yes, Cj is correct. You need to exercise in order to speed up your metabolism. Being lazy and not doing any activity is one factor that slows down the metabolism.
