But, there are some healthy rules that, if you incorporate them in your daily activities - even when at work – will give you a lot of health benefits. Here are five tips to boost your metabolism without exercise:


  • Don't keep sitting all the time, try doing your job standing as much as you can. Remember, standing up helps burn more calories than sitting – about 186 calories vs. 139 calories.
  • Walk the talk or walk things over to your bosses and colleagues' desk instead of talking to them on phone.
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Stairs are one of the best fitness kits your work place has to offer.
  • Eat your lunch at canteen or try going outside the office, and not at the desk. Studies have linked spending time outdoors to an improved mental well-being and increased energy.
  • Eat your veggies by including fibrous vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli, which increase your metabolism and help maintain healthy digestive system.
  • Don't forget to drink a few glasses of cold water in the morning, which can boost your metabolism effectively.

Do these every day to boost your metabolism and kickstart your weight loss.
