Having alcoholic drinks makes ur body burn less fat when you are active & whatever fat is burned slower than usual. Alcohol is used as fuel in our body & it reduces the fat burning capability by up to 73%. So it is better to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages as much as possible.

2. If you don’t fuel your body properly, your metabolism will slow down and your body will cling to the remaining fuel. So the best solution is to eat properly and more often to keep your body fueled up so that you don’t get exhausted when you are active.

3. Protein helps your body get lots of energy and nutrition at once and you are less likely to eat food that is less energetic. Proteins will help you to grow muscle and give you lots of energy. You will gain muscles without bloating or gaining belly fat.

4. If you are constantly taking medicines for diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure, it is not good for your metabolism. It will drastically reduce the way your body stores energy

and it is better to consult your doctor before taking this kind of medication for too long and also get to know what kind of diet is appropriate if you are taking these medicines.

5. If you are constantly drinking water that contains fluoride & chloride it will slow down your metabolism. Both these chemicals interfere with normal thyroid function and you can feel it if your thyroid is dragging. Switch to drinking filtered water instead as much as possible.

6. Carbohydrates are not good for the body if you are trying to watch your weight. HOWEVER, boycotting carbohydrates completely will MESS up your metabolic system and make you lose fewer calories when you exercise.

7. Cooler temperature helps our metabolism to boost up as brown fat becomes more active in cooler temperatures to help keep us warm. This is because we are endothermic mammals and our body releases heat to keep us warm.

8. Having non-organic food most of the time raises the level of hormones in our body, which makes it hard for our body to keep us lean, & energized. Thus, our body cannot balance out all the hormones to keep our metabolism running smoothly.

Switching to organic food is the most viable option to avoid nasty hormones.

9. It has been proven by studies that having caffeine in the morning can boost your metabolism. However, having tons of caffeine throughout the day will go against your metabolism.

Having caffeine all the time will make you unaware of your hunger and you will fill full all the time until you have dinner when you eat more than necessary all at once.

10. Being constantly sleep-deprived can mess up the metabolism of ur body & don’t be surprised if you start to gain a few pounds. Lack of sleep can cause you to burn fewer calories than you usu do with ur normal routine, lack appetite control & experience an increase in body fat.
