1. Overall Health and Longevity: Enhancing cellular health and contributing to longevity by promoting efficient body systems and natural repair mechanisms.

2. Improved Blood Sugar Regulation: Can prevent insulin resistance and reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders by maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

3. Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly reduce the risk of 

obesity-related conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

4. Muscle Maintenance and Growth: Preserve lean muscle mass to maintain strength, mobility, and metabolic health - especially as we age.

5. Increased Energy Levels: Higher energy levels improve daily function, facilitate an active 

lifestyle, and enhance participation in regular exercise, which benefits overall health.

6. Improved Fat Loss: Reducing excess body fat not only supports weight management but also 

lowers the risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

7. Better Blood Circulation and Oxygenation: Efficient circulation improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, benefiting cardiovascular health and overall bodily function.

8. Digestive Efficiency: A well-functioning digestive system aids in nutrient absorption and waste 

elimination, supporting metabolic health.

9. Mood Enhancement: While often seen as a secondary benefit, improved mood and reduced stress levels contribute to mental health and overall well-being.

So, how do we increase metabolism?

First, it's always best to increase your metabolism naturally - through lifestyle choices and actions. So, this article will focus on those natural ways.

The quickest measures to take - to naturally increase your metabolism - in order of most effective, are as follows:

1. Engage in High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT workouts are among the most effective in boosting metabolic rate. They involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods, which can increase calorie burn even after the workout is over (which is called the afterburn effect).

2. Build Lean Muscle Mass: Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting, increase muscle mass. Since muscle tissue burns more calories than fat at rest, this can raise your resting metabolic rate.

3. Increase Protein Intake: Eating more protein can temporarily boost metabolism through the 

thermic effect of food (TEF), which is the energy needed to digest, absorb, and process nutrients. Protein has a higher TEF compared to fats and carbohydrates.

4. Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for optimal metabolic function. Studies suggest that drinking cold water may temporarily increase metabolism as the body works to warm it to body temperature.

5. Incorporate More Whole Foods: Eating whole, minimally processed foods, especially those rich in fiber, can increase the energy expenditure needed for digestion and improve metabolic health overall.

6. Prioritize Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy metabolism. Sleep deprivation can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and energy use, leading to metabolic decline.

7. Drink Green Tea or Oolong Tea: These teas are believed to have metabolism-boosting properties due to their caffeine and catechin content, which may increase fat oxidation and energy expenditure.

8. Avoid Long Periods of Sitting: Incorporate more movement into your day by standing up regularly, taking short walks, or using a standing desk, as prolonged sitting can lower your metabolism.

9. Consume Spicy Foods: Spices like chili peppers contain capsaicin, which may enhance metabolism by increasing the rate at which your body burns calories.

10. Engage in Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): Increase daily activities that aren't formal exercise, such as walking or gardening - to promote calorie burn throughout the day.
