If your metabolism isn’t what it used to be, you may need to do some dietary detective work. For example, when you eat may be as important as what you eat, so intermittent fasting may give your metabolism the boost it needs. And, while sugary beverages and sports drinks are best avoided, organic coffee and green tea may actually help your metabolism as long as you’re not adding sugar to them.
Needless to say, exercise (and high intensity exercises in particular) cannot be overlooked if you want to rev up your metabolic engines. If you are already fit, it’s possible that you are simply spending too much time sitting, which can be remedied by getting out of your chair to move more often.
Also, chronic low-level inflammation can stall your metabolism, which may result from food sensitivities, poor sleep, stress, and other lifestyle factors.
