Relax And Helping Your Metabolism
How Relaxing Can Help Give Your Metabolism A
Boost
-
We briefly noted yoga in the list of
Things to Do above, and that brings us to another key influence
of your metabolism: stress.
Believe it or not, but experts are now telling us that stress
can send unwanted signals to our body; signals that lead to
slower metabolism.
Essentially, what happens is that when the body is under
constant stress, it releases stress hormones that flood the
system.
These stress-related hormones actually tell the body to create
larger fat cells in the abdomen. The result can be both
increased weight (through increased fat cells), and a slower
metabolism.
Obviously, these are two very negative factors in the quest to
boost metabolism and lose weight. The last thing that we want
is more and bigger fat cells in our abdomen, coupled with a
diminished metabolism!
Yet this is, tragically, what happens to many people who
experience constant, continuous stress. And, alas, this is many
people; especially those of us who have to balance so many
competing objectives, such as work, family, and other vital
tasks.
So the advice here is indeed to “relax and chill out”, and
there are some simple techniques that can, and should, be added
to your life.
These include walking more, listening to relaxing music,
meditation, yoga, eating non-stimulating foods (e.g. no
caffeine, no sugar, and so on), and building a daily regimen
that includes periodic time outs where you can re-center
yourself and de-stress.
Remember: while relaxing is good advice for anyone, it’s
important for you to note that stress negatively influences
metabolism. So there is a link between how much stress you
experience and your ability to break down cells and lose
weight.
So if you don’t want to relax because you don’t have the time,
then you should realize that your stressed-out life is probably
playing a role in your weight gain/your inability to lose
weight.

This is a great little e-book that teaches you
how to maximize your metabolism in 30 days or less. Now I have
no idea if it can really help you that fast, but the product is
very good. Everything taught is very natural and safe. There
are not many programs on the market that can help you make use
of your matabolism this effectively. It comes highly
recommended. I give it a 8.5 out of 10.
