Quick tip - Speed up your metabolism!

Your metabolism is the rate at which your body burns energy. If you enjoy the occasional delicious morning tea or yummy dessert, make sure you eat the right foods to burn of those calories quicker!    

Try to regularly include metabolism boosting foods in your diet such as chilli, cayenne pepper, spices, low fat dairy, rolled oats, raw almonds, grapefruit, apples, eggs, spinach and beans.   Broccoli, cauliflower, celery and lettuce are also great as they require lots of energy to be broken down.  

DID YOU KNOW? 
If you under-eat it actually slows down your metabolism! To maintain a good metabolism, your body needs regular fuel and time in-between meals to digest.  So try to eat at least every 4-5 hours to maintain a good metabolism.
