What slows down the metabolism - how to remedy it?

What slows down the metabolism: too little physical activity

Sedentary lifestyles have become a problem these days, especially in this era of pandemics and remote working. Many people limit physical activity to the bare minimum, and this certainly leads to a slower metabolism. How can this be remedied? No one is suggesting that you immediately decide to run a marathon or lift Olympic weights - introducing regular walking, cycling or light strength and endurance exercise (e.g. home exercises with your own body weight) will certainly prove helpful in boosting your metabolism.

What slows down the metabolism: poorly composed diet

Poor nutrition is one of the most serious risk factors. An improperly balanced diet, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and the consumption of large amounts of processed foods slows the metabolism. A reduced metabolic rate is usually the consequence of:

• excessive intake of saturated trans fats
• excessive amounts of simple sugars (mono- and disaccharides)
•  limited or low intake of dietary fibre
• insufficient intake of complete plant and animal protein

Can this be remedied? Contacting an experienced dietician, who will create a personalised nutrition plan, should solve the problem of too slow metabolism. Additionally, it is worth thinking about enriching your daily diet with supplements, especially products manufactured in accordance with pharmaceutical standards. Products of Olimp Sport Nutrition are an ideal choice! Whey Protein Complex 100% and Veggie Protein Complex protein supplements will help you supplement your daily diet with optimal portions of complete proteins. Whereas Gold Omega 3 capsules will provide your body with high quality polyunsaturated fatty acids (including EPA and DHA).

What slows down the metabolism: excessive stress

Long-term stress leads to increased production of cortisol, a hormonal compound that causes a number of abnormalities in the body. One of the consequences is an increase in blood sugar levels, which, as we know, causes a release of insulin and impairs the normal metabolism of fat tissue. This in turn slows down the metabolism and increases the risk of weight gain.

How can this be remedied? Avoiding stressful situations is sometimes extremely difficult, but thanks to some supplements there is a chance to limit their effects on the body. Adapto-Fuel capsules by Olimp Sport Nutrition are a very good solution. This is a well-thought-out composition of four natural adaptogens (Bacopa monnieri, Rhodiola rosea, a patented form of ashwagandha KSM-66 and Siberian ginseng) and an optimally selected amount of L-tyrosine. The product can be used to combat mental and physical fatigue and support the management of stress.
