The basic process of metabolism is the breakdown
and delivery of nutrients from the food that we eat into every cell in our
bodies. Body need burn more energy for these processes of digestion, absorption
and utilization of nutrients. What kinds of foods will need makes body need
more energy to process the food into nutrients?
1. High protein food
It has been clinically shown its thermic effect
on body. Body will burn more energy to produce body heat for every consumption
of protein. Protein also increases the satiety than carbohydrate or fat. (Velasquez
2007). For example, lean meat of poultry.
2. Eat more fiber
Fiber is indigestible in our body. However, body
will try hard effort to digest it. More energy burned in digesting and
breakdown of the food.
3. Small and frequent meal consumption
Eating small portion of meals throughout the day frequently will
increases metabolism than eating large portion of meals in once time if both
diet also same in calorie. This is because large portion of food provides large
amount of glucose which tend to stored as fat if excessive.
4. Don’t skip your meal
If you skip your meal, your body will be in starvation mode. To
reduce energy wasted in body or body tend to reserve more energy, your body
metabolism will decreased to reserve more energy.
5. Drink enough water
Water is needed in the metabolism process so as to help in
converting the fat into the energy.
6. Exercise
When you do exercise frequently, your body will know that you need
more energy for the daily activities or exercise. Thus, your metabolism rate
will be increased to suit the increased energy need of body. Even you are in
the resting mode, you body will burn more energy than other who less doing
exercise.
