Metabolize Food

Foods That Make Metabolism Faster

Do foods that make metabolism faster really exist? I have heard that they do. Or is it just that these foods that boost metabolism which create their effect by making your metabolism work harder not faster?

First, what are we comparing these metabolism boostingfoods with? Before you can say there are foods that increase metabolism, you have to have some sort of control foodsfor comparison.

In our rush-along, daily lives, many of us consume ready-to-eat processed foods so, for the sake of argument we'll use these as our control group to compare our metabolism boosting foods with.

Almost all processed meals are so refined they are a simple matter for our bodies to consume and turn into energy. So, you might ask, surely that's no bad thing? Actually no, not really. As we have all been told, processed foods are anything but good for us because they are crammed full of salt, fat, refined sugar - you name something that's not good for you and it's more than likely it's in your preferred processed food.

Let's not kid ourselves, our bodies developed to digest and metabolize foods as they occur in their natural state so it stands to reason that there are likely to be problems if we interfere with that natural state too much. Unsurprisingly, all these negative factors involving processed foods induce problems for our [metabolic system|metabolism}. When our bodies are booged down with fats and toxins, our digestions struggle to cope, and the effect is our metabolism appears to slow down.

So, on the other hand, it would seem to be true to say that just about any unprepared food (i.e. natural food) would speed up your metabolism! Indeed, that does seem to be not far short of the truth. After exhaustive investigation into foods that speed up metabolism, it appears there is one common factor throughout them. That is, quite simply, that they are in their natural state.

Rather than list them individually, I have drawn up three simple groups as examples of foods that speed up metabolism.

Fruits and Vegetables.

Supporters of Vegetarian and Raw Food diets will agree with me here I am sure - because they contain complex carbohydrates and fibre, fruits and vegetables take a greater amount of energy to digest than processed foods. This energy is created by metabolism which has to speed up to cope.

Lean Proteins.

Turkey & Chicken and fish are the greatest source of lean protein as they are naturally lower in fat than red meats. Research has proven that protein helps to increase metabolism because just like fibre it is less easily digested and consequently burns more energy to digest.

Hot Spices

Cayenne Pepper and Chillies have been proven to temporarily speed up metabolism for around 3 hours because they have properties which cause your body to heat up (remember how you break into a sweat if you eat hot chillies?) after you eat them by causing your body to create extra stress hormones which increase your heart rate and, as a result, your metabolism.

On this evidence it appears to me that although the thermagenic foods do really make your metabolism work faster, in general foods that 'speed up' your metabolism do not so much speed things up as make your metabolism work harder to create the end product.

Ultimately I suppose it doesn't matter if our metabolism goes faster or works harder. The end result is that more calories are used to fuel the process of metabolising these foods, so there is less excess energy to be stored as fat.
