Effective Ways To Rev Up Your Metabolism

Metabolism has become a buzzword, and everyone seems to be talking about it for the right reasons.

- Luke Coutinho

But what most people don’t understand is that metabolism is beyond - weight loss. Even people who appear healthy on the outside can have a metabolic dysfunction brewing on the inside. There is a deeper meaning to metabolism.

Every single function in our body relates to our metabolic health, and so a dysfunctional metabolism can affect every process. Cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular condition, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s - are various manifestations of metabolic syndrome.

Even if one develops one or two of these, it is a perfect cocktail to pave the way for others leading to a Metabolic Syndrome. This means, that what may start as just diabetes can eventually lead to the development of hypertension and cardiovascular condition. All of this is for something that went wrong at a cellular level, which is the inability of cells to either metabolize sugar and lipids or handle inflammation. Metabolism, in simple terms.

The top five markers for an optimal metabolism are:

• Stable blood sugar levels

• High HDL and low LDL and Triglycerides

• Blood pressure

• Low body fat and good lean muscle (which is more important than your weight)

• Balanced hormonal health
