Now that spring has sprung and summer time is just around the bend , I thought, it was time to put away my winter blues food.
Spring is also the time to step up my exercise routine so I can get into the clothes of summer. However, if I can eat foods that supercharge my metabolism that would mean I don’t have to work out extra hard.
Here are some of the foods that I will begin to eat and drink to jump start my metabolism, which kinda gets clogged up as we climb the ladder of age.
Matcha
Matcha is another name for green tea. Had no clue that green tea goes by another name. Matcha (green tea) is packed with caffeine, which speeds up your heart rate and thus your metabolism, but it also has norepinephrine-stimulating EGCG, a nutrient that helps boost your metabolic rate.
Gotcha Matcha!
Almond Butter
Almond Butter sounds so delish! This nutty spread is a low-glycemic food, which means it will help keep your blood sugar level stable. That’s crucial because regular blood sugar spikes and drops slow down your metabolism.
As I age my blood sugar is spiking, so on my next shopping run Almond Butter will be carted home.
Pistachios
This is a nut that can take a long time to eat. So I guess the slower we eat the better it is for our metabolism. So it is recommended that we eat small meals and snacks, like pistachios, throughout the day which will allow our bodies to process them.
