Many factors play a role in the efficiency of our metabolism including fitness, nutrition, hydration, oxygen intake and sleep…

Exercise to Boost Metabolism
Among the best ways to boost your metabolism is through consistent exercise. This includes aerobic workouts, to burn more calories, and weight training to build the muscles that will boost your metabolism. Since muscle burns more calories than fat -- even while at rest -- the more muscles you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. This means your body will be burning more calories just to sustain you.

How Nutrition Affects Metabolism
Along with exercise, you can follow some dietary guidelines to increase your metabolic rate. For instance, small, frequent, meals help keep your metabolism in high gear, and that means you'll burn more calories overall. When you wait too long between meals, your metabolic rate slows down to compensate. The best advice is to eat 3 regular meals and a couple small snacks each day. Eating frequently also helps you eat less at regular meals.

Eat to Maximize Your Metabolism
Always eat breakfast. A healthy breakfast starts your metabolic furnace. Studies have found that people who eat a healthful, balanced breakfast every day have significantly lower body fat, and those who eat before working out have a longer and stronger after-burn. The “after-burn effect”, more officially known as “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption” or EPOC — is basically the number of calories that are burned post-exercise.

Hydration and Your Metabolism
Staying adequately hydrated also moves your metabolism, as dehydration can contribute to an ineffective metabolism. Your body temperature drops slightly if you are dehydrated causing your body to store fat as a way to maintain the temperature. Water helps mobilize fat stores, while dehydration stimulates fat to stay put.

Breathing, Oxygen and Your Metabolism
When you breathe more oxygen into your body, several things happen to speed up your metabolism. First, the heat in your body rises. If you've ever had a backyard barbecue, you understand the principle of heat and oxygen. When the charcoal won't ignite, you blow on them to create a flame. Likewise, the logs in a fireplace won't burn without enough oxygen. Therefore when you are exercising, your optimum metabolic burn happens when you are working hard, but able to take in enough oxygen to maintain a conversation.

Less Sleep Makes A Sleepy Metabolism
The number of zzz's you get can also effect on your waistline. Research shows that sleep deprivation can send your hunger and appetite hormones out of whack. A four-year joint study by the University of Wisconsin and Stanford University found that adults who regularly slept for only five hours a night increased their levels of hunger-inducing ghrelin by 14.9% and lowered their levels of appetite-suppressing lepton by 15.5%. Sleep deprivation resulted in most eating more than they needed and had extra pounds to show for it. Some people swear by a few hours, but experts recommend 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
