5. Caffeine is everything! Coffee lovers will be happy to know that daily consumption of caffeine is great not only to wake up in the morning, but also to improve metabolism. Caffeine activates the digestive system, speeding up the journey from digesting food to transforming it into energy. In the short term, this method works great.

4. Drink more! When your body is dehydrated, your organs, especially your liver, work less efficiently, causing your metabolism to slow down rapidly. Research shows that if you lose at least 3% of your weight through fluid output (for example, if you weigh 63 kg, fluid = 2 kg), you slow down your metabolism by 2%. Dehydration can also cause fatigue and decreased muscle function. If you are actively exercising, then the water consumption may increase.

3. Eat as much protein as possible. Your body burns calories for energy. This is called the thermic effect of food, and it accounts for about 10% of total calorie expenditure. In other words, if you consume 2000 calories per day, you will spend 200 only on digestion. And some products, or rather, macronutrients, require more energy for digestion than others. According to research, your body needs a lot of energy to digest protein - about 30% of your total calories. If you eat 200 kcal of protein foods, you will spend 60 of them on digestion. Carbohydrates take the second place - 10% of the total, fats - less than 5%. For one kilogram of weight should be from 1.4 to 2 grams of protein. A person weighing 63 kg needs 89 to 127 grams of protein per day.

2. Pump your muscles! The more muscle a person has, the more metabolically active they are. Even at rest they burn more calories than fat. 0.5 kg of muscle per day burns 6 calories, 1 kg of fat - 2 kcal. If you replace 1 kg of fat with 0.5 kg of muscle, you will increase your BMR by 8 calories per day! When people lose weight, they not only shed fat but also muscle, which in turn kills metabolism in the bud. But moderate pumping of muscles will help not to ruin the metabolism, but to disperse it even more!

1. Move more! The only 100% effective way to speed up your metabolism and increase your daily calorie expenditure is to move. Studies show that the effect of being active is 15 to 30% of your daily calorie expenditure. Accordingly, the more you move, the sooner you will get to 30%. The easiest way to burn a couple of hundred calories effortlessly is walking. However, it should be remembered that the movement is not limited to walking. Even if you are carrying heavy bags, gardening or cooking dinner, you are burning calories. The main thing is to diversify your day with various movements.

Three steps ahead.

The fairly common verb "calculate" literally means - the ability of a person to design or adapt for a purpose. Form good habits not only in business matters but in everything. Calculate any situation at least three steps ahead. This will help make the RIGHT decisions avoiding unnecessary risks. Logic games might be helpful to develop this ability. For example, playing CHESS is excellent to improve strategy and tactics, it will teach you to forecast and prevent the occurrence of unpleasant moments.

Don't ignore your body signals.

Cause if we ignore them constantly rushing around, circumstances will stop us: colds or quite serious illnesses, accidents, fires... Everyone should be attentive to the symptoms that the body sends. It is important to remember the following: any pain is a defense mechanism of the body. Using painkillers not figuring out the nature of our pain doesn't solve the problem but exacerbates it. Take a pause — listen to yourself. Your body will thank you.

Nature is the best teacher.

Only the strongest survive. This rule of the jungle is applicable to our lives. Somewhere in Africa, a gazelle wakes up in the morning and it keeps in mind it must run faster than a lion. Otherwise it will be eaten. There, in Africa, a lion also wakes up. It's mindful of the need to survive as well. It should run faster than the gazelle. What's there to learn? It absolutely doesn't matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you have to run. You don't have enough time to think about what to do next. It's not worth composing your thoughts for hours to start doing something. You have to get up and run. Run until you realize that today you are a well-fed lion, not a mauled gazelle.

In China, they tested the effect of coffee and alcohol on the reproductive functions of people.

There was no association between caffeine intake and live birth rate. But alcohol reduced the chance of having a live baby by 9%. And this is not only about women but also about men who drank alcohol before conception.

In Spain, they invented an exoskeleton that helps paralyzed children walk.

The Atlas-2030 exoskeleton allowed the test child to make a two-hour walk from home to the rehabilitation center without assistance.

American iguanas poison themselves with ant poison to survive.

Iguanas eat dead ants, receive a small dose of their poison and prepare their immunity for possible poisoning. This was proved by the experiment of biologists. They divided the lizards into two groups. For one to three weeks they were fed ants, and then they were allowed to sting. The second only suffered from bites. It turned out that in the blood of iguanas from the first group, the concentration of basophils increased and substances were produced that bind the poison molecules and prevent it from affecting the body. There were no such changes in the second group.

Scientists have found out why mosquitoes bite some people more often than others.

These conclusions were made by American scientists after experiments involving 64 people. The researchers placed nylon sleeves on volunteers' arms for six hours to collect volatile skin samples. Then these sleeves were placed in pairs in a chamber with mosquitoes - at the same time there were samples of two different people in it. The scientists observed which fabric would attract insects. It turned out - the one on which there are more carboxylic acids. Moreover, the leading sample was a hundred times more interesting for mosquitoes than the outsider of the list. The experiment was repeated a few months later. Some of the volunteers changed their skin care products during this time, but the attractiveness rating of their nylon sleeves for mosquitoes remained the same.

Working as a food delivery man is bad for the psyche.

Food delivery couriers and taxi aggregator drivers are more likely to suffer from mental disorders than other professions in the geek economy. This is due to a small salary, lack of time for oneself and family, heavy workload, stress, monotony of work and lack of sufficient freedom and emotional support - delivery men and taxi drivers rarely see their colleagues. These conclusions were reached by Dutch scientists from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. They analyzed the data of 3.6 thousand employees of taxi and delivery services.

Who is the best cook? Scorpio.

They know a lot about food. Hastily cooked scrambled eggs or sausage sandwiches are not for them. Scorpios love to surprise others with their talents, and in the kitchen they feel in their element. They like to prepare complex dishes, beautifully setting the table. Heaven has rewarded Scorpios with an innate talent for perfect cooking.

The most bitchy girls. 11th place - Aries.

Theoretically, Aries should have been given last place, but putting Aries against Virgo is just as cruel and pointless as releasing a young sheep into an enclosure for hungry hyenas. Therefore, Aries gets the penultimate place - for the lack of bitchiness in principle, because it is understood that the bitch is a cunning and prudent creature, which, in fact, is the complete opposite of the character of Aries: if anything, she will just bite off your head without multiplying the essence.

It is better not to make men of these 4 signs of the zodiac enemies. Leo.

Alas, a quarrel with a Leo man always begins "with a pinch." Yesterday you were friends like water, but today you are standing on opposite sides of the barricades, and all because of some nonsense. It is dangerous to quarrel with Leo, especially if you were friends and he knows all your secrets. Don't believe? Ask those with whom Leo has long been at enmity. There are pluses: Leo is proud, but quick-witted. Repent of all sins to him (for greater effect, you can attribute a couple of non-existent ones), and the king of beasts will change his anger to mercy.

Secret weaknesses. Cancer.

Cancer's biggest weakness is that he doesn't say what he wants. When something bothers the representative of this water sign, he keeps it to himself and pretends that nothing is happening and everything is in order. To deal with this weakness, Cancer must understand that their voice matters. This will make Cancer feel much better if he understands what he can say about his feelings and desires.
