How do you increase the metabolism in your skin?

I was just wondering how to increase the metabolism in skin that way wounds can heal faster? Or how do you just increase it period.|||Never heard of that one.





Metabolism is essentially the speed at which our body%26#039;s motor is


running. The speed at which our body burns calories is called the metabolic


rate. It%26#039;s how fast your %26quot;motor%26quot; is running when you%26#039;re still in a


reclined position or sleeping. About 60-75% of energy is expended by the


body at rest in such activities.





The metabolism is based on the number of calories we burn throughout


the day. Our body constantly burns calories to keep us going whether we


are eating, sleeping, cleaning etc. People with a lower percentage of


body fat (i.e. muscular) have a higher metabolism than others that are


less muscular because muscle uses more calories to maintain itself than


fat. Some people have a slower metabolic rate and have a harder time


staying slim. Younger persons have higher (faster) metabolism because of


the increased activity of cells. A slow metabolism actually causes to


store fat. The slower the metabolic rate, the greater the weight gains.


How to build muscles to improve metabolism? What type of exercise is


ideal that speed up metabolism so that you burn calories even at rest or


sleep? There are simple exercises that speed up the metabolism.





Causes for Low Metabolism





* Fasting


* A low calorie diet


* Snacking throughout the day on high sugared foods (candy, colas,


cakes, gum).


* Eating or drinking too much sugar containing foods.


* Lack of physical activity.


* Underactive thyroid.





Metabolism Boosters





There are some natural metabolism boosters (natural foods) that


improves your metabolism. Do not take over the counter pills containing animal


thyroid extract that claim to boost up metabolism. These products may


have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive


sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc.





How to Improve (Speed up) Metabolism





* Do not skip any meals


* Exercise daily


* Build your muscles


* Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings


*Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.


*Eat foods with high nutrition values
