Since the 1980s, businesses have come out with products that guarantee a quick-fix to improving a slow metabolism. Between pills, teas, and dietary routines, consumers fall for one fix after the next, with hopes that their metabolism can be expedited. However, in the last decade, researchers have released studies that support a healthier, safer way of speeding up the metabolism than consuming pills and enhanced teas.

This way encourages the consumer to increase their exercise routine and implement specific foods into one's every day diet to boost one's metabolism. Boosting your metabolism alone will not lead to significant weight loss. Nevertheless, boosting your metabolism in addition to eating healthier, and exercising frequently will lead to weight loss; and it will have you zeroing in on your goal weight in no time.

Below, check out the eight healthy tips, two workout routines and six dietary suggestions, that will inevitably speed up your metabolism faster than you could have ever imagined.

Drink Green Tea

In the last few years, articles have come forth debunking the idea that green tea can actually speed up the metabolism. From researchers arguing that green tea does little to nothing, to researchers arguing that green tea does everything, it's hard to tell which one is right and even harder to know which one to listen to. That is until now. Unlike the HIIT workout routines and cardio-based routines we just mentioned, green tea is not a guaranteed drink to speed up the metabolism.

Instead of increasing the production of hormones, green tea increases one's enegry expenditure, which, in turn, increases the amount of calories and fat burning. So, although green tea does not increase the metabolism with time, it does have short-term effects of increasing the burning of calories, which can result in weight loss. Nevertheless, make sure while consuming green tea, you aren't adding too many additional sweetners or fluids, otherwise the goal of weight loss becomes counterproductive.
