30 Seconds Summary
The easiest way to significantly boost your metabolism (and it’s not spicy food)

  • Boosting metabolism significantly can be achieved through increasing NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis), not through common misconceptions like spicy food, cold showers, or green tea.
  • Components of metabolism include BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), physical activity calories, and TEF (Thermic Effect of Food), with NEAT playing a substantial role.
  • NEAT varies dramatically between individuals and can explain differences in weight due to its impact on daily calorie expenditure.
  • Strategies to boost NEAT include increasing daily walking and standing more often, both of which can significantly enhance total daily calorie burn.
  • Incorporating simple actions like using a standing desk, going for walks, and opting for stairs over elevators can effectively increase one's NEAT and metabolic rate.
