Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body’s motor is running. The metabolic rate is the speed at which our body burns calories. People with a higher metabolic rate burn more calories while at rest. About 60-75% of energy is expended by the body at rest.

People with a lower percentage of body fat have a higher metabolism than others that are less muscular because muscle needs more calories to maintain itself than fat. People who have a slower metabolic rate have a harder time losing weight. Dehydration can slow metabolic rate.

How to speed up your metabolism:

  • Do not skip any meals.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily (Hydr-8’s daily water intake bottles can help you remember!).
  • Exercise daily.
  • Include weight training exercises to boost metabolic rate.
  • Avoid refined sugar and alcohol.
  • Eat foods high in fiber and nutrients.
