5. Caffeine is everything! Coffee lovers will be happy to know that daily consumption of caffeine is great not only to wake up in the morning, but also to improve metabolism. Caffeine activates the digestive system, speeding up the journey from digesting food to transforming it into energy. In the short term, this method works great.

4. Drink more! When your body is dehydrated, your organs, especially your liver, work less efficiently, causing your metabolism to slow down rapidly. Research shows that if you lose at least 3% of your weight through fluid output (for example, if you weigh 63 kg, fluid = 2 kg), you slow down your metabolism by 2%. Dehydration can also cause fatigue and decreased muscle function. If you are actively exercising, then the water consumption may increase.

3. Eat as much protein as possible. Your body burns calories for energy. This is called the thermic effect of food, and it accounts for about 10% of total calorie expenditure. In other words, if you consume 2000 calories per day, you will spend 200 only on digestion. And some products, or rather, macronutrients, require more energy for digestion than others. According to research, your body needs a lot of energy to digest protein - about 30% of your total calories. If you eat 200 kcal of protein foods, you will spend 60 of them on digestion. Carbohydrates take the second place - 10% of the total, fats - less than 5%. For one kilogram of weight should be from 1.4 to 2 grams of protein. A person weighing 63 kg needs 89 to 127 grams of protein per day.

2. Pump your muscles! The more muscle a person has, the more metabolically active they are. Even at rest they burn more calories than fat. 0.5 kg of muscle per day burns 6 calories, 1 kg of fat - 2 kcal. If you replace 1 kg of fat with 0.5 kg of muscle, you will increase your BMR by 8 calories per day! When people lose weight, they not only shed fat but also muscle, which in turn kills metabolism in the bud. But moderate pumping of muscles will help not to ruin the metabolism, but to disperse it even more!

1. Move more! The only 100% effective way to speed up your metabolism and increase your daily calorie expenditure is to move. Studies show that the effect of being active is 15 to 30% of your daily calorie expenditure. Accordingly, the more you move, the sooner you will get to 30%. The easiest way to burn a couple of hundred calories effortlessly is walking. However, it should be remembered that the movement is not limited to walking. Even if you are carrying heavy bags, gardening or cooking dinner, you are burning calories. The main thing is to diversify your day with various movements.

Don't ignore your body signals.

Cause if we ignore them constantly rushing around, circumstances will stop us: colds or quite serious illnesses, accidents, fires... Everyone should be attentive to the symptoms that the body sends. It is important to remember the following: any pain is a defense mechanism of the body. Using painkillers not figuring out the nature of our pain doesn't solve the problem but exacerbates it. Take a pause — listen to yourself. Your body will thank you.

Working as a food delivery man is bad for the psyche.

Food delivery couriers and taxi aggregator drivers are more likely to suffer from mental disorders than other professions in the geek economy. This is due to a small salary, lack of time for oneself and family, heavy workload, stress, monotony of work and lack of sufficient freedom and emotional support - delivery men and taxi drivers rarely see their colleagues. These conclusions were reached by Dutch scientists from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. They analyzed the data of 3.6 thousand employees of taxi and delivery services.

This manual technique is also called “plastic face massage”. During the session, there are no unpleasant sensations, but the muscles tense up and tone up.

Split face massage.

Split massage was formed as a method aimed at combating age-related changes in the face and neck, by reducing swelling, more even distribution of adipose tissue, normalizing muscle tone and skin turgor. Rejuvenation is mainly achieved through a more balanced distribution of tissues on the face, which returns the "status quo" inherent in a young face. Split massage will also prevent further unwanted deformation of the face, neck and décolleté area. Split massage is carried out in a prone position, and this technique does not involve the application of any cosmetics or oils. At the same time, professionals use a variety of manipulations - such as rubbing, kneading, squeezing, myofascial release, post-isometric relaxation, as well as chiromassage, facial fitness, etc.

Buccal facial massage.

Buccal massage is the development of the French cosmetologist and biochemist Joel Siocco. This is a type of massage that is aimed at sculpting the face, by acting on the muscles and skin of the face from the outside and through the mouth. The meaning of this technique lies in the intensive study of the facial and masticatory muscles of the face with a bilateral grip (from the inside and outside), and the purpose of the manipulations is to return the muscles to their original length, tone and elasticity. Using a special technique, a specialist kneads each muscle and moves the tissues, literally “putting the face in place”. No wonder the technique of buccal massage is called "non-surgical lifting."

Lack of sleep increases the risk of developing chronic diseases by 20%.

These conclusions were made by scientists from University College London. They interviewed seven thousand people aged 50-70 and analyzed their medical records for the last quarter of a century. The increased risk of developing chronic diseases may be due to the fact that due to lack of sleep, brain cells do not have time to repair the damage to the genome that accumulates during wakefulness. Also, due to lack of sleep, failures in other recovery processes may begin.
