"You have a slow metabolism": The term metabolism is a very complex and includes all chemical reactions that occur in the human body. The body requires large amounts of energy every day to regulate the temperature, repairing internal damage and synthesize useful substances that enable the various organs of the function. In fact, the liver uses 27% of this energy, heart, only 10%, 19% of the brain and kidneys of 7%. Moreover, a large amount of energy expended as heat loss.

Your metabolism does not always remain constant and have a very low metabolism is impossible, because their bodies always need energy to function. However, it may be true that you burn calories at a slower pace than you should.

This way to improve your metabolism:

• Muscles are more metabolically active tissues in your body, so that weight training can help build some muscle mass and burn more calories. This does not mean you have to build huge biceps, just increase the proportion of muscle mass.
• Avoid a diet of deprivation, since reducing your metabolic rate.
• Eat more protein, since it has a high thermogenic effect and can increase metabolism by up to 40%.
• A dose of 200 mg of caffeine increases the basic metabolic rate by 5-8% and should be consumed immediately after lunch.
• You should eat regular meals (every 3 to 4 hours) to distribute the intake of calories during the day.
• Visit your doctor to make sure your thyroid hormones are at normal levels.

"You are under great stress": stress causes the body a series of reactions that is put under "survival mode". Thus, the body tries to conserve energy by reducing metabolic rate and the production of hormones such as cortisol, which causes the accumulation of fat, especially around the abdomen.

"Not enough sleep": the body must rest to function properly. Adequate rest means at least 8 hours of sleep until the age of 50 and 7 hours of 50-60. Lack of sleep activates the body's natural defenses and sends signals to store more fat.

"You do not drink enough water" if they become dehydrated, you will have trouble losing weight. Water is necessary for burning calories. Numerous studies of adults who drink 8 or more glasses of water a day, burn more calories than others.
