Change Your Metabolism - Burn More Calories – Part 5

Chill Out and Heat Up

Do you enjoy a nice long soak in a hot tub full of water hot enough to blister your skin? Who doesn't? How about spending time in a steamy sauna with sweat pouring off your body?

Maybe you like turning your thermostat down in the winter until it's so cold you can see your breath in the house when you talk?

If these activities appeal to you, then slap yourself on the back (yes, that will burn calories too) because heating yourself up and chilling yourself down have been shown to boost your metabolism by about 20%.

Speaking of heat, add a bit of spice to your life and your food. Studies have shown that eating spicy foods, those with cayenne pepper or jalapenos or chili peppers, will give a boost to your metabolism as well.
