Tag: Increase metabolism

According to a study published in the *Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry*, non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), which is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating, or sports-like exercise, can account for up to 2,000 extra calories burned per day between individuals of similar size. By understanding and leveraging both formal exercise and daily activity, you can significantly increase your body's energy expenditure.

Research has consistently shown that consuming protein can significantly boost metabolic rate due to the energy required for its digestion and metabolism, a process known as the thermic effect of food. This effect is substantially higher for protein compared to carbohydrates and fats.
