10 Ways To Speed Up Your Metabolism

2. Drink Ice-cold Water

Drinking hot water with lemon and honey is quite a well-known therapy to treat slowed metabolism. However, the latest and the most workable theory says that drinking one glass of chilled water increases your metabolic rate. The researchers at the Utah University found out that volunteers drinking around 8 to 12 ounces of ice-cold water had much higher metabolic rate than those who drank four glasses of plain water.

According to Madelyn Fernstrom, the director and founder of the University of Pittsburg Medical Center Weight Management Center, the body burns a bit more calories when it has to heat up the cold water to bring it to core body temperature making you lose weight and speed up metabolism. Although, you will not notice a substantial drop in weight merely by following this method, when combined with the other tips, you are sure to get good results.
