5 keys to speed up your metabolism to lose weight while eating healthy and well

Daily Quote:"Exercise helps you lose and control weight in two ways. First, you burn more calories by boosting your metabolism. Second, you burn even more calories by building muscle - which requires more energy to maintain your body cleanse!" -Paul Bragg

“Deep, full and complete breathing energizes the body, calms the nerves, fills you with peace and helps you stay young.” -Paul Bragg

A very important part of a healthy lifestyle is exercising your body properly and consistently and breathing deeply. These keys are of course alongside good nutrition and healthy eating. Let me emphasize that the starting point to improving your health and losing unhealthy weight is to eat healthy, live, organic, whole foods and stop eating denatured, packaged, unhealthy, dead-processed, man-made “foods” loaded with toxins, unhealthy fats, sugar, salt and excit0 toxins. In other words, first focus on a healthy, nutritious diet that supports your body and gives it the nutrients it needs to function properly, then add healthy daily exercise and deep breathing.

A few years ago, when I was trying to improve my health and lose weight, I completely changed my diet and eating habits for the first time. I began to lose weight quickly and enjoyed better health. However, my weight loss slowly came to a halt after I lost about 15 pounds. I couldn't figure out why until I realized I wasn't exercising.

As soon as I started exercising daily, something changed in my body and I started losing more and more weight. I now believe that “something” was my metabolism changing from a slow metabolism to a higher metabolism. In other words, because I added regular exercise to my body and routine, my metabolism accelerated and adjusted to burn fat more efficiently and stop storing fat like it was before. This one change had a huge impact on my weight loss and personal fitness. Not only did I lose another 10-12 pounds, but I also became physically fitter.

Regular exercise can benefit your body in many ways. Firstly, exercise helps to reduce stress and tension and release them from the body. Stress is negative energy that wears down your body, but exercise allows it to leave the body. Secondly, exercise leads to more oxygen in the cells, which is necessary for life and vitality. Third, exercise stimulates every cell in the body to eliminate toxic waste. Each cell produces its own toxic waste, and each cell needs stimulation to eliminate this toxic waste and stay healthy. Fourth, exercise increases the movement of lymph fluid in the body, which is an important factor in the elimination of toxins. Most people's lymphatic systems are dangerously sluggish and congested, and moving the body through exercise helps move the lymph fluid. Fifth, exercise opens the channels in the body to allow electromagnetic energy to flow freely and unhindered. This energy gives life to the body's cells, but it must not be blocked or congested so that it can flow freely throughout the body and do its job of providing energy to the body's cells.

5-STEP EXERCISE ROUTINE FOR FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS

I would like to share with you the 5-step exercise routine that helped me get over the hump and lose even more weight as well as become more physically fit. I encourage you to follow my lead and start implementing a daily training plan that includes these 5 steps. One of the keys to my exercise routine was incorporating both aerobic and anaerobic exercise daily.

One of the main reasons for my weight gain was that my metabolism had slowed down. When I was younger, I could eat almost anything without gaining weight because I had a fast metabolism. However, as I entered my forties, my metabolism really slowed down and I started gaining quite a bit of weight because I wasn't eating properly and not exercising. There are certain glands and organs in the body (such as the thyroid, pancreas, liver, stomach, small and large intestines, and colon) that regulate how well the body burns food for fuel and how it converts food into stored fat. When some of these glands and organs become clogged, sluggish, or not functioning properly, a person's metabolism slows down and begins to convert more and more food into fat instead of fuel.

What are the two main reasons for a slow metabolism? The first major cause of slow metabolism is the amount of toxins you put into your body. Most of these toxins enter your body through what you eat and drink, i.e. through an unhealthy diet. These toxins include artificial food additives, chemical residues from growing food that are transferred to your body, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and excito-toxins such as MSG, prescription and over-the-counter medications, and the toxins in the water supply such as fluoride and chlorine. These are toxins that slow down your metabolism, which in turn causes your body to store your food energy as fat.

The second major cause of slow metabolism is low muscle mass in your body and lack of regular walking exercise. The more muscle your body has, the higher your metabolism will be. Unfortunately, most Americans have an unusually small amount of muscle in their bodies, meaning they don't burn calories as efficiently as they could. A lack of walking exercise also significantly lowers a person's metabolism. The human body is designed for walking, and when a person stops walking daily, their metabolism adapts and begins to slow down.

KEY I – Do a quick “POWER WALK”

30-60 minutes in the sun every day. Your body was designed to run. Walking every day will help you get lean and stay lean because it gives your body the kind of exercise it needs and because it helps you reset your metabolism by speeding it up to burn fat more efficiently and stop storing energy fuel as fat. The common denominator of thin, slender people around the world is that they walk more than 5 miles per day, while the typical American only walks a tenth of a mile per day. Remember, don’t just take a slow, casual “walk” through the park. A power walk means you have to walk quickly with effort so your heart and lungs have to work harder. If you wish, you can combine walking with jogging. I would recommend that you use your 30-60 minutes of walking time to pray, meditate, or listen to inspirational music on your iPod. After you get into the habit of doing your daily power walk, your body will crave this activity and you will look forward to it every day. It will not be drudgery, but joy and pleasure. Oh, I almost forgot. Do not do your power walk on busy roads filled with toxic gases from cars, buses and trucks. Find a peaceful, quiet place like a local park where you can breathe in fresh, clean air.

KEY II – Practice DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES

to increase oxygen levels in the lungs and body. Most people don't breathe deeply enough to stimulate their metabolism and fat burning. You can do this throughout the day, but be sure to do this especially when you're doing your power walk. Learn to breathe in very deeply, from your stomach up through your lungs, filling your lungs with more and more oxygen. I'm usually a very shallow breather; However, through deep breathing exercises, I was able to increase the amount of oxygen in my lungs, which had an impact on my entire body. I would recommend that you practice deep breathing throughout the day. Write the words “Breathe Deeply” on a small index card and post it in front of your desk or computer and in your car as an hourly reminder.

KEY III – LIFTING SMALL WEIGHTS

every other day to increase your muscle strength. To get started, get a set of 3-pound or 5-pound weights. After a few months, you can increase the weight from 3 to 5 pounds or from 5 to 10 pounds. Develop some simple lifting routines to work your various upper body muscles. Record how many repetitions you do and then try to increase them each day. When I first started doing this, I actually combined my small weight lifting routine with a small stair stepper so I was working my lower body as well. You can find a small stepper at your local sporting goods store. It is a small 1 foot by 1 foot machine that you can stand on and walk up and down on. It has small hydraulic pumps that create resistance so that you feel like you are climbing stairs. I recommend doing this along with your weight lifting routine so that you work both your upper and lower body. Start by lifting weights slowly for about 10 minutes every other day, then slowly increase this time until you're doing this 20 to 30 minutes per day. Remember to only lift weights every other day, not every day, as your muscles need time to rest and rebuild. You'll be amazed at the difference 20 minutes of light weight lifting per day can make to your body.

KEY IV – Use a “REBOUNDER” for 5-10 minutes per day.

A rebounder is a mini trampoline with a diameter of around 1.20 m on which you gently bounce up and down. This allows you to stimulate and strengthen every cell in your body at the same time, stimulating your lymphatic system and increasing your metabolism. It is also very effective for weight loss.

KEY V – DAILY SEXUTION.

Enjoy the pleasure of vigorous sex with your spouse every day. Start incorporating sex exercises into your daily exercise routine, but don't make it routine. Keep it creatively spiced with variety. Various studies have shown that intense daily sex burns fat and improves your health. If you don't believe me, try it. It's fun, it's free and it feels amazing!
