Fit metabolism - 4 tips for a more active metabolism
Reading time: 2 minutes
If you have a well-run metabolism, you feel fit and alert, because the processes in the body seem to run by themselves: Food is digested quickly and end products do not weigh the body down for long, on top of that the body climate is pleasant and there is also a healthy urge to move. With increasing body weight and the older we get, our metabolism slows down. But that is no reason to resign! We are tackling it and have the best tips for you on how to keep your metabolism active. Would you like to know more about whether you have a good or slow metabolism? Then take a look at this magazine article: "Metabolism and weight - what's behind it?
Tip 1: Increase basal metabolic rate through muscle mass
Muscles need more energy than fat mass. That's why it's beneficial to build up your muscle mass through endurance and weight training. The double advantage is that you get your whole body moving. A rolling stone gathers no moss: once you are in motion, you have to motivate yourself to keep moving much less than someone who is at a standstill. So even in stressful times, make sure you get enough rest, but also enough action for your body.
Tip 2: Reduce and maintain weight in a healthy way
Regardless of the importance of a good, positive body image, a healthy body is the be-all and end-all of a good metabolism. People who tend to be overweight should have regular medical check-ups and work on a healthy weight. This should not be reduced through dieting, but with the help of healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle. The "30-day Xucker Challenge" helps you learn a healthy eating style with many delicious savoury and sweet recipe suggestions, without having to sacrifice enjoyment.

Tip 3: Vegetable and high-fibre diet.
Animal and high-carbohydrate foods weigh you down and slow down digestion. For people who tend to have a slow metabolism, such a diet can cause many problems: it makes you sluggish and prevents you from feeling positive about your body. Plant-based diets, on the other hand, contain a lot of fibre, which keeps you full for a long time and stimulates digestion. They also stabilise blood sugar levels. Stick to the rule of thumb of eating at least three portions of vegetables and a maximum of two portions of fruit a day, and avoid convenience foods and fatty meats as much as possible.
Tip 4: Drink enough water
We consume unnecessary calories and sugar, especially through sweetened drinks. But it is so important to supply the body with enough water. Make sure you drink at least 1.5 litres of water or unsweetened tea. If you are active in sports or sweat quickly in summer temperatures, your water needs will actually increase and you should increase the amount you drink. If you are used to enjoying your drinks sweetened, you can continue to do so with Xucker Light - pure erythritol - without worry. In general, however, it is good to gradually shift your taste preferences to unsweetened, especially when drinking.
