How to boost your metabolism

1. Eat Plenty of Protein at Every Meal

Eating more protein can reduce the drop in metabolism often associated with losing fat. This is because it reduces muscle loss, which is a common side effect of dieting.

Eating protein has also been shown to help you feel more full and prevent you from overeating.

2. Drink More Cold Water

People who drink water instead of sugary drinks are more successful at losing weight and keeping it off.

This is because sugary drinks contain calories, so replacing them with water automatically reduces your calorie intake.

Studies have shown that drinking 17 ounces (0.5 liters) of water increases resting metabolism by 10–30% for about an hour.

“One study of overweight adults found that those who drank half a liter of water before their meals lost 44% more weight than those who didn't”

3. Do a High-Intensity Workout

It can help you burn more fat by increasing your metabolic rate, even after your workout has finished.

4. Drink Green Tea or Oolong Tea

Green tea and oolong tea have been shown to increase metabolism by 4–5%.

These teas help convert some of the fat stored in your body into free fatty acids, which may increase fat burning by 10–17%.

As they are low in calories, drinking these teas can be good for both weight loss and weight maintenance.

5. Get a Good Night's Sleep

Lack of sleep is linked to a major increase in the risk of obesity. This may partly be caused by the negative effects of sleep deprivation on metabolism.

Lack of sleep has also been linked to increased blood sugar levels and insulin resistance, which are both linked to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Overall, making these small lifestyle changes and incorporating these tips into your routine can increase your metabolism.

Having a higher metabolism can help you lose weight and keep it off, while also giving you more energy.

Communicate. Even when it’s uncomfortable or uneasy. One of the best ways to heal, is simply getting everything out.

Fitness Life Hacks

•Drink water before a meal to fill you up more to avoid over eating.

•Label/section off a water bottle so each hour you have to drink a certain amount and you get the right amount each day.

•Use honey to replace sugar.

•Bag and freeze smoothie ingredients, that way when you are craving something sweet just pour it in the blender.

•Instead of stress eating, listen to your favourite music and go for a walk.

•Try using a smaller plate when eating meals. It will trick your mind into thinking it’s eating more.

•Portion out your treats, if you feel like m&ms divide the bag into multiple zip lock bags.

How to maintain healthy hair

1. Comb wet hair

You should always comb wet hair with extreme care as it is fragile and prone to breakage. Take a broad toothed comb and run it from the roots to the ends of your hair as gently as possible.

2. Get your hair trimmed regularly

Trim your hair every few weeks to get rid of those split ends to make you hair look and feel healthier. Cut about half and inch of your hair every 6/8 weeks to avoid the split ends to grow out again.

3. Avoid washing your hair everyday 

Washing your hair everyday will make it more oilier and more prone to getting greasy. Try to wash you hair at least every 2 days and use dry shampoo the days you don’t wash it. If you don’t have oily hair try to go longer than 2 days. 

4. Conditioner 

Always make sure to condition the ends. Rinse the conditioner off with cold water as it is good for both strength and shine.

5. Hair masks

There are a range of hair masks you can get to suit your hair, whether it be for greasy hair or for frizzy hair. Ideally you can use hair masks every time you wash your hair, but once a week is okay.
