4 Super Quick Ways to Boost Your Metabolism in The Morning

By Maegan Ross

If you're looking to get rid of some extra pounds and/or replace them with a little muscle, this is for you.

You see, all the training that you do or want to do is right for your health, and of course, the result will make you look fantastic. However, many women are not doing the most important thing to accomplish the goal. What's that?

The most important thing you can do to lose pounds and build muscle is to boost your metabolism - especially in the morning.

Where is the Core Issue With This?

Far too many women go straight for coffee in the morning, perhaps eat some toast or cereal, and go on with a day. There's nothing wrong with a routine, but if your routine is limiting your weight loss, then you're not moving closer towards your goals to get in shape.

This is why it's essential to take care of your metabolism first thing in the morning, and it's actually not that difficult to do.

Here are 4 Things To Get Your Metabolism Going

1. Balance your pH. One of the most overlooked aspects to health and fitness programs is the pH balance. You may remember this from chemistry class in high-school. PH is the acid/base balance, and when it comes to your body, high acidity can lead to obesity, fatigue, and other health implications.
• Balancing your pH levels in the morning can be a great way to start your day off on the right foot, enabling your metabolism to function as it should. The best way to balance your pH in the morning is to eat dark fruit and green, leafy vegetables.
• Not only will they help you balance your pH, but they'll also increase your intake of fiber, which has been shown to decrease appetite and lead to weight loss.
2. Exercise. Running, walking, biking, lifting weights - it doesn't really matter what you do as long as you're making your muscles, heart, and lungs work.
• Although research has shown that you won't be able to train as hard as in the evening, a morning workout is one of the most effective methods to increase metabolism leading to weight loss.

3. Hydration. Coffee is not hydration. In fact, it has a negative hydration effect due to its diuretic value. Although drinking coffee in the morning can make you feel more energized, it doesn't promote a faster metabolism in the long run. But real hydration will.
• Drinking 7 or 8 glasses of water daily is recommended in order to stay as hydrated as possible.
4. Eat iron-rich food. This is especially important in a world where food is processed, and nutrients are being stripped from their original sources. Iron does more than you think, and emerging science is showing that it can have massive benefits to metabolism and overall vitality.
• Lack of iron can lead to anemia, fatigue, and overeating.
• Iron plays a crucial role in hemoglobin and erythrocyte production, both of which help to transport working nutrients and oxygen to muscle and other internal systems. New science is even showing that iron may be an important mechanism to assist in protein digestion.
• Eating iron-rich foods can help you to increase your metabolism and live a life with greater vitality and lack of fatigue.

Habits shape who we are.

Perhaps you have a habit of having a cup of coffee with a muffin each morning. Of course, this is not the end of the world, but if your goals are to get stronger, boost metabolism, and lose weight, then it becomes important that you look to all aspects of your routine.

If you're looking to rev up your morning metabolism and seriously lose weight, take care to balance your pH, exercise regularly, hydrate, and eat iron rich foods each morning.
