ccelerate Your Metabolism And Change Your Life Even Though You’re Over 40

The metabolism is comprised of all physical and chemical processes occurring in the body. Our body uses food as an energy fuel to be able to function normally, which is converted into energy by the numerous chemicals in the digestive tract.

The pace of the metabolism is controlled by the nervous system and our hormones, and it slows down as we age.

Caroline Apovian, MD, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at Boston Medical Center and the author of The Overnight Diet: The Proven Plan for Fast and Permanent Weight Loss, explains:

“The main culprit that slows metabolism and often leads to yo-yo dieting is what I call shrinking muscle syndrome.”

Additionally, Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a Prevention advisory board member and the director of fitness research at Quincy College in Massachusetts, says:

“The average sedentary woman may have lost nearly 15 pounds of muscle by the time she reaches her late 50s, a change that could cause her to gain nearly the same amount in body fat.”

After 40, it is also much more difficult to drop the excess pounds and speed up the metabolism.

Yet, here are several ways that will help you accelerate it and become refreshed and full of energy:

A healthy diet

You need to follow a healthy diet, rich in minerals, vitamins, and nutrients. Increase the intake of dairy, fruits and vegetables, and meat, and limit the consumption of processed foods, carbohydrates, alcohol and salt.

Plenty of water

To accelerate metabolism and detoxify the body, keep it hydrated and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.

Protein and fiber

To speed up the metabolism and help digestion, consume foods rich in fiber and protein every morning.

Sleep

Sleep reduces stress, burns fat, improves mood, and soothes the muscles. Opt for at least 10 hours of restful sleep every night.

Exercise

Try walking, swimming riding a bike, or running, to improve heart health and function, drop a few pounds, and relieve the postmenopausal syndrome manifestations.

Okra Controls Diabetes and Hunger, Lowers Cholesterol And Removes Fatigue

Native to Ethiopia, okra, Hibiscus esculentus, or also known as kiabo, lady’s fingers, gumbo or okro, is a powerful natural greenish herb that effectively treats numerous health issues and ailments.

According to Dr.Mercola:

“Okra is the color of a fresh corn husk, has the shape of a spike (which is why it’s also known as lady’s fingers and, in some cultures, bamia pods) and the texture of a grooved cucumber. Sliced, it might remind you of a tiny star fruit.

Okra pods measuring 2 to 3 inches long grow on a large, leafy and perennial plant with beautiful, hibiscus-type flowers. From the Malvaceae (mallows) family — surprisingly along with cocoa, hibiscus and cotton — it bears the botanical name Abelmoschus esculentus and may have a history as old as the pyramids.”

It is a rich source of numerous nutrients, and thus offers countless health benefits, like:

--    It prevents food cravings

--    Strengthens immunity

--    Regulates cholesterol levels

--    Prevents kidney disease

--    Controls diabetes and reduces fasting glucose levels

Okra is a real natural miracle, so why don’t you start using it and reap all its health benefits?

The popular doctor and surgeon, Vladimir Petrovich Filatov, advised his patients in the eye clinic in the 60s to try his alternative medicine along with their medical treatment, in order to improve their vision and prevent further complications.

He recommended a beneficial vitamin bomb recipe which became a hit as soon as he revealed it since numerous patients tried it and were thrilled by its effects!

Vitamin Bomb- Recipe
Ingredients:

• 300 grams of honey
• 500 grams of crushed walnuts
• Squeezed juice of 3-4 lemons
• 100 grams of Aloe Vera juice (aloe arborescent)

Method of preparation:

Initially, you need to make the aloe Vera juice. Therefore, you should get rid of the upper, middle and lower leaves of the plant.

Then, wash the rest of it, the ¾ leaves and its top with cooled boiled water in order to remove the spikes. Then, chop it into small pieces, and strain the juice with double gauze.

According to Dr. Filatov, you should not chop the leaves immediately, but leave them on a plate in the fridge for 10-12 days.

In this way, the aloe Vera will form the biogen stimulators which are responsible for the cells’ activity. Afterward, wash the leaves and prepare the aloe Vera juice.

Then just mix it with all the other ingredients, and your natural remedy is ready for use. Consume a tablespoon of it 3 times daily, 30 minutes before meals.

Follow this procedure until your eyesight is completely improved.

Furthermore, this vitamin bomb is excellent for the overall health.

Moreover, the aloe Vera should not be older than a few years.
