2. Don’t Skip Breakfast

Break the Fast: After hours of sleep, your body requires fuel to kickstart its metabolic processes. Breakfast essentially “breaks the fast,” revving up your metabolism for the day ahead.

Nutrient-Dense Choices: Opt for a balanced breakfast that combines protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Think whole-grain toast with avocado and poached eggs or a smoothie made with spinach, Greek yogurt, and berries.

3. Stay Hydrated

The Role of Water: Every cellular function in our body, from digestion to temperature regulation, requires water. When we’re dehydrated, these processes, including metabolism, become less efficient.

Hydration Tips: While the “8×8” rule (eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily) is easy to remember, individual needs can vary. Consider factors like physical activity, climate, and body size. Infuse your water with fruits or herbs like mint for added flavor.
