Lipid Metabolism: What is it and 5 Tips to Boost it.

Lipid Metabolism is the function in your body that breaks down carbs and helps stop the accumulation of fat.

1-Carbohydrates
Eat the right kind of carbs to increase the lipid digestion, and to decrease accumulation of fat. You
don't have to cut carbs out, just learn to eat the right kinds and in moderation.

2-Protein
Don't eat refined and processed food, and eat natural grains and healthy fruits.
Eat the right amount and type of protein. It is important for boosting that lipid metabolism and for maintaining health. You should have some in every meal as this will increase your fat metabolism and build muscle. Some good protein sources are:
  • Lean beef
  • soy
  • milk
  • Beans
  • Lean chicken and turkey
  • eggs
  • yogurt
  • cottage cheese
  • tuna and salmon
3-Eat more often 
It is actually a good thing to do. Good for your body. You must eat more nutritious and smaller meals. Be careful in eating 4-6 meals a day, as the temptation to eat more each time is there. 

4-Exercise
You can boost your metabolism by moving. You can resolve many weight caused health issues by moving. Some each day. Start small. You can do it. Think about lifting weights and strength training. Just a little. Strengthen your body and it will be in an optimum condition for fat burning and that boosts your metabolism throughout the day.

5-Breathe
Learn to breathe correctly as that can make a big difference in sustaining your metabolism. We don't pay attention our breathing throughout the day and breathe more shallow that we should when we exercise/ Contrary to what you SHOULD be doing...

Pay attention and take deep breaths in through your nose, holding for a few seconds and releasing slowly. Your abdomen should be moving in and out when you place your hand on it if you are doing it correctly.
