15 Creative yet Easy Ways to Put Your Metabolism in High Gear
8. Make It Hot and Spicy
Your food, we mean. When you are looking for a little extra flavor for your next meal, pass on the salt shaker, and reach for the chili powder or hot sauce.
Chilis contain capsaicin, a chemical that has that thermogenic effect that we are all looking for. This means that, by adding some chili or hot sauced to your meal, you can burn about another 90 calories after that meal. In fact one study showed that chilies activate our brown fat, which means we will burn more calories.
You’re going to have to really love that hot sauce, though, because you need about ½ a teaspoon per meal. Bring on the Tabasco sauce and some tissues please!
