That Sounds Great, but…What Is Metabolism?
Metabolism is the process of the body turning calories into usable energy. Briefly: it regulates how well you can burn calories. Beyond it is critical for maintaining general health, metabolism has a big impact on your appearance, mood and energy levels.
Although it is determined by several factors, like genetic, gender, hormonal health, and age, there are some proven metabolism boosters. Sport, enough sleep, eating breakfast, drinking enough water and smart eating (more fresh, green vegetables) all can take control of your metabolism.
Why Should We Eat More Salads?
Salads have plenty of health benefits. Eat salads for the Green, for the Fibre, for the Health Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables. Salads can cut calories, protect your heart and reduce risk of diabetes.
