Boost your Metabolism with these Tools
Give your body what it wants rather than depriving it from what it needs. In the process you will get your healthy weight back and your body feeling great. Here’s how.
1. Eating the right foods: Which includes fiber, healthy fats with omega-3 fatty acids, fruit, vegetables, and spices, and friendly foods such as paying close attention to the foods that cause your body upset. Like glutens, certain proteins, and even dairy to some.
2. Get moving with exercise: When it come to metabolism the value of exercise goes beyond the amount of calories you burn. The bottom line though is any amount of exercise will increase your body’s power to burn food calories. Food is for fuel, not indulgence. Remember that.
3. You need to start to sweat: Pesticides, chemicals from factories, and metals such as mercury and lead even from the air, water we drink, and food circulation in the blood, these toxins wreck havoc on our body’s main metabolic regulator. The thyroid gland takes enough as it is with rapid weight loss in some, so in order to keep it normal and to help our bodies get rid of unnecessary metals is to sweat.
4. Breathe it all in: To relieve tension a great way is to breathe, but what does breath do for everything else? To reduce cortisol levels and normalize your metabolism, you must relax, body practices such as yoga and tai chi help reduce stress levels, but relaxing can also be as simple as slow down long enough to be conscious of your own breath for a few minutes a day.

Earthly Eating Recipe
Green Tea Halibut with Quinoa
Serves: 4
4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 tbs. peanut oil
1 pieces fresh ginger (about 2 inches) peeled and finely chopped
1 baby bok Choy (6 ounces ), thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed, thinlly7 sliced lengthwise
1 cup brewed green tea
1 tbs. light soy sauce
1 tsp. honey
3 scallions, sliced diagonal
Basil leaves for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season halibut with salt and pepper.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the filets until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the fillets from the pan (reserve the pan oil). Place the fish in an over proof dish and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (a paring knife will easily go through the fish fillets).
4. To pan, add the ginger, bok Choy, edameme, shiitakes, and snow peas; reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for minutes or until the shiitakes begin to soften. Add the green tea, soy sauce and the honey. Cook until the edamames are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Add the scallions to the pan. Place some broth and vegetables in each of the four shallow bowls. Top with the fish fillets and garnish with the basil leaves.
5. Season quinoa with salt if necessary and serve on the side in a separate serving bowl.
