Metabolism

Keeping our metabolism on is important to burning calories and staying a healthy weight.  Burning body fat and calories with simple everyday gestures is a kind and loving thing to do for oneself.

Parking further in a parking lot from the front door; taking the steps instead of the escalator/elevator; lifting weights and adding muscle to our body (muscle burns more calories than fat); eating smaller, more frequent meals are all good ways to keep our bodies burning calories.  When we do not eat for a long period of time, out metabolism slows down to conserve energy; hence burning less calories.

After we exercise, our bodies still burn more calories during the period after exercise then if we didn't exercise at all.

I'm going to try today to keep my metabolism up and burning.

Metabolism - the physical and chemical process in our bodies for which energy is made available.

Is your metabolism happy?
