5 Things to Eat to Boost Your Metabolism

Water

Water is an essential element for turning food calories into energy. Staying hydrated helps flush the byproducts of burning fat out of your body as well. Up the caloric burn by drinking cold water or cold calorie-free beverages, like iced tea, since your body needs to burn energy to bring the icy beverage to body temperature. The caloric gain of the heating process is not huge, but every bit counts.
