Don’t give up yet if you have a slow metabolism. There is one
natural method that may help reverse it. For survival a slow methabolism is
beneficial but it may not be optimal for your lifestyle. Take a look at this 3
steps that can reverse metabolism naturally.
Step 1: Identify the slow methabolism trigger:
·
Not eating enough
food
Think of your body
like a house to make an analogy. What do you do if you’re not making enough
money to pay electricity? You may not turn the lights on as often and you turn
the heat in your house to compensate. The body works in a similar way. The body
saves energy by reducing body temperature, turning down digestive juices,
reducing pulse, and slowing thyroid function, when there are not enough
calories coming in. To help you go longer on les food, this is a built-in
survival response by the body. And this is not a bad thing. Because it’s going
to help kepp you alive in an emergency or famine it’s actually a good thing.
1. You feel stressed all the time
2. Low energy
3. Trouble falling or staying asleep
4. Food cravings
6. Cold hands and feet
7. Poor apetite
8. Your food journal resembles that of a loddler
9. Low body temperature (below 97.8 upon waking)
10. Labels on your food say “fat free”, “sugar free”, or
“low calorie”
·
Not eating enough
carbohydrates
When it comes to the
metabolism carbohydrates are really the most important macronutient. All
macronutrients are extremely important, and none should ever be limited in any
fashion intentionally. Because the convertion of T4 to T3 is dependent on
enough glucose and stored glycogen in the liver, adequate carbohydrates in the
diet is very important. So you need regular carbohydrates to set the stage fot
that to happen.
·
Other causes
There are few other
thing that you may want to think about if you are eating enough calories,
carbohydrates, nutrients, and you are still having issues. Consider is any of
the following could apply to you and support your slow metabolism:
Ofen caused by not
enough high quality proten is malnourished liver. Common in those with a
history of veganism or low protein vegetarian diet.
Due to the popularity
of low fat diets , as well as some other common nutrients deficiencies, fat
soluble vitamin deficiences are common.
The appetite is often
reduced by weak digestion due to bloating, constipation and often causes you to
not be able to take in as many calories.
By interfering with
the body’s abillity to convert thyroid hormone (from t4 to T30) , low
progesterone levels or estrogen dominance can slow methabolism.
You can further
burden your methabolism with excess toxins in the diet and lifestyle as well as
poor liver detoxification.
Cortisol the stress
hormone blocks thyroid hormone conversion, which will protectively slow the
methabolism over time.
·
Inflamation: food
sensitivities, food allergies, polyunsaturated fats are common causes of
inflammation.
·
Over exercising:
especially when the diet is poor too much exercise is a sure way to send your
body running for safety by slowing the methabolism.
Step 2: Support the slow methabolism trigger with food
It’s time to make
some changes once you’ve discovered the cause that is contributing to your slow
methabolism.
·
It’s time to eat more
food and stop counting calories if the cause is not eating enough food and
nutrients
·
It’s time to work
some nutrient dense carbohydrates into your diet gradually if the cause is
eating too few carbohydrates.
·
It’s time to fill in
the nutrient “holes” in your diet if the cause is nutrional deficiencies.
·
It’s time to nourish
the liver with the right foods if the cause is a malnourished liver.
·
It’s time to learn
about what foods are the easiest to digest and work with your body to
up-regulate your digestion over time if the cause is poor digestion.
·
It’s time to ensure
you are supporting hormone production by giving your body enough of the raw
materials it needs to make hormones If the cause is hormonal imbalance.
·
It’s time to ditch
the toxins from your food, and detox your lifestyle if the cause is toxins.
·
It’s time tomake sure
that you are supporting energy balance on a day to day basis if the cause is
over exercising.
Step 3: Be consistent and patient
Be patient with your
body. Recovery won’t happen overnight, and you don’t get a slow mehabolism in a
day. Understand that your body is doing the best it can to re-balance and to
find homeostasis once again.
