The body is a complex masterpiece that the human race tries to understand to date. When it comes to fuel burning, here are four methods to accomplish it more efficiently.
Sleep early
Sleep is associated with developing children and leisure. As adults, late nights and early mornings are said to pave the way to success. But such unchecked rhetoric is the reason the human body doesn’t burn fuel as effectively as it’s supposed to.
The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone that is released naturally around 2am at night; it is responsible for muscle repair and burning fat while the body is at rest. If awake during this crucial window, the risk of missing out on natural body processes is imminent.
Build muscle
Building muscle is not only a great stress reliever, but it is also a great way to burn fuel more efficiently. When you gain muscle, fat is stored there later for use.
Additionally, muscular tissues across the body provide support for the skeleton as the human body ages. As far as metabolism goes, the rate at which the normal human body burns fat during rest is increased threefold for those who exercise muscles.
Intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting isn’t about starvation or attaining instant weight loss. Intermittent fasting is about cleansing the body. IF (intermittent fasting) fulfills the switch from the body consuming glucose to the body relying on fat and ketones.
Although IF looks different for everyone, the basic concept encompasses fasting somewhere between 14 and 16 hours. Mitochondria and damaged protein are done away with during this process, while fat stored in the adipose tissue is tapped into as an energy source.
Drink water
For the body to burn more fuel, hydration must take place. Water acts as a component for most chemical reactions in the body. Overheating? Cool down with some sweat; for indigestion, use water as a solvent. Even fat burning in the body is not possible without water.
Water is so crucial that without it, metabolism slows down completely. Maintaining a consistent hydration plan also reduces instances of false hunger, which could lead to excessive food consumption, which is later converted into fat if it has no place to go.
When it comes to fuel burning, there’s a great divide amongst various schools of thought. With these tips in mind, find out what works effectively.
