Lazy Mondays

Do you ever feel lazy or warn out on Mondays.  Here are some easy tips that will help you keep on track with you healthy lifestyle but still not cramp your lazy style

• 
•  Lazy Move No. 1: Protect Your Ticker by Snoozing

Some researchers speculate that insomnia might trigger your body to release more of the stress hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol have been linked with high blood pressure and diabetes, which are both risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

• 
• Lazy Move No. 2: Ward Off Weight Gain With Protein

By adding more protein to your dish could be your slim-down secret weapon. Past research has found that protein keeps you feeling full longer than either carbs or fat, so you can eat less and still be satiated.
Instead of . . . ½ cup granola with one cup berries (seven grams protein, 250 calories)
Try . . . ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese with one cup berries (15 grams protein, 131 calories)
Instead of . . . 1¼ cup mashed potatoes (five grams protein, 296 calories)
Try . . . 1¼ cup vegetarian baked beans (15 grams protein, 295 calories)
Instead of . . . six-inch pancake sans butter or syrup (five grams protein, 175 calories)
Try . . . one cup low-fat plain yogurt with ½ cup apricots (13 grams protein, 186 calories)

• 
• Lazy Move No. 3: Rock Out to Exercise Longer

Researchers at Brunel University in London found that runners who listened to upbeat, energizing rock or pop music (like Queen, Madonna, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers) exercised up to 15 percent longer — and felt great while doing it.

• 
• Lazy Move No. 4: Boost Brain Power With Chocolate

 A recent study found that those consuming the highest levels of chocolate had a 37 percent reduction in cardiovascular disease and a 29 percent reduction in strokes compared to those with lower chocolate intakes.

Boosting your Metabolism

Eat Your Breakfast

When you eat plays a major role in metabolism, especially when it comes to breakfast. After a good night's rest, the body needs fuel, but if you skip out on breakfast, it will conserve energy by slowing down your metabolism.

Spice Is Nice

Incorporating spices like like chili, turmeric, and cinnamon to your food is an easy way to add taste and calorie-burning properties to your next meal

Warm Me Up foods

• 
• Soup, Chilli, Curry

Vinegar

Vinegar packs a double whammy — not only does it help boost your metabolism, but vinegar can also act as an appetite suppressant

 

Caffiene

• Go ahead, take a break. The caffeine in coffee and green tea has been proven to increase your metabolism. Dark chocolate can help

Get Proper Sleep

•  Not catching enough Zs doesn't allow metabolism to function properly, and instead your metabolism slows down. Making matters worse, poor sleep causes an increase in the hormone ghrelin, which signals the body to eat more.

Intense Cardio

• Some intense cardio workouts to try: running, indoor cycling, or interval training

 

 

 

 

Muscle Power

•  While how much is unclear, one thing is known: muscle burns calories at a higher rate than fat. Depending on which study you read, a pound of muscle burns anywhere from 15-50 calories per day. Compare this to fat, which averages about two calories per day.

Hydrate With Water

• 
  Drinking water is rarely a bad thing, but it just got even better: a German study showed that after drinking 17 ounces of water, the participants' metabolism had an increase of about 30 percent.
