Walk-pic11. the best thing you can do is WALK!
When you are in the office get out of your comfortable chair and go visit your colleagues in or from a different department instead of mailing or phoning them. Use some time during your lunch break to take a refreshing walk in a nearby park.

 

2. Park your car a few blocks apart from the place you are going to and take a brisk walk to your office, grocery store, or a shopping mall.

3. Intend to walk at least 30 minutes every day. (if you have a dog, go take him/her with you for an extra walk or a longer walk.)

 

4. Try to take the stairs instead of an elevator.Walk-stairs-pic2

 

5. As you probably already know, our body needs minimum 1,5 liter water a day to fill the water that we daily lose through evaporating and sweating. A good thing to burn more calories besides this important fact is to several times during the day, drink natural coffee or green tea without sugar to boost metabolism

 

6. At dinner, choose a steak instead of pasta. The more you chew, the more calories you burn!

 

7. Eat frequent small meals, especially if they are not loaded with sugar or white flour,  this is more stimulating for your metabolism than stuffing yourself with big meals two or three times a day.

 

8. Choosing spicy dishes is another way to burn more calories during the day.

 

9. While you’re watching TV, do not use remote control. Instead, every time you need to switch channels, get up and do it manually. Or adopt a habit of moving your feet, stretching your legs, or squeezing a rubber ball while you are sitting. Can you believe that such simple movements can burn up to 500 calories a day?

 

10. In the winter, turn down the heat in your room, especially at night, and sleep under a lighter blanket. And in the summer, turn on an air conditioning. A colder environment makes your body produce more heat and, therefore, facilitates the utilization of calories.
