One major aid to losing weight or maintaining a weight is boosting your metabolism. I am here to list some dietary supplements that should be in your diet in order to assist in boosting metabolism. Exercise is a great way to boost your metabolism but I am here to talk about supplements that can assist you in doing so.
Supplements:
Chromium
Chromium, most often found
in the soluble(able to break down by our bodies) form of chromium
picolinate, in which our body seperates the two to use the Chromium.
In terms of metabolism Chromium assists in the breaking down or
metabolizing of Carbohydrates and Lipids(includes Cholesterol, fatty
acids, triglycerides & phospholipids).
Chromium plays a key role
in helping insulin control the body's blood sugar levels. Insulin is
a hormone that your body uses to manipulates to change starches
sugars and other carbohydrates into more manageable forms. Chromium
can assist in gaining lean muscle mass and reducing the overall
amount of body fat, more muscle mass means increased metabolism.
A
bonus side effect that often plagues people that are in need of a
diet and exercise, Chromium helps to lower blood pressure. However
consuming too much can have negative effects. Chromium has also been
shown to help reduce anxiety and depression. The amount needed on a
daily basis ranges from 15-30 micrograms or 15-30 millionths of a
gram.
Multivitamins have all varying amounts of Chromium in them. How
to consume Chromium naturally, brewer's yeast(breads), certain
cereals, whole grains, molasses, certain cheeses, organ meats, lean
and processed meat. That’s a Chromium in a nutshell.
