Metabolism is the rate in which your body burn calories. It is influenced by age. By the time you have hit 45 you are burning 200 less calories each day than you did at age 25. So this turns into about a 12 pound weight gain each year. This process also effects the energy level and cognitive functioning of the brain. Hormonal levels change as we age and muscle loss can further lower the body’s metabolism. The lean muscle tissue is replaced with fat and usually accumulates in the hips, thighs and midsection.
It is important to keep the body full of protein, vegetables and fruits. This keeps the body fueled with the needed amino acids for repairing cells and tissue regeneration. Also, a good night’s sleep is important to full body function and keeping a good body weight. Here are five food that will boost the metabolism:
1. Spinach is great for fiber and your metabolism. Also it is a good source of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and iron. Try some in your salad. It is also good in casseroles and even on pizza.
2. Avocado- Has 20 vitamins and minerals as well as healthy vegetable fat in it. Vitamins, B6, C, K, and E are among these. Great as a spread on sandwiches or in salads. Garnish foods like tacos and other dishes with some sliced avocado.
3. Green Teas- Has a catechin in called epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. It both speeds up your nervous system and brain which causes your body to burn more calories. Caffeine is also a good way to boost the metabolism.
4. Blueberries-These are a great antioxidant rich fruit which is good frozen or fresh. The frozen ones still hold usable polyphenols which can induce lipolysis which break down fat cells and even stops new ones from forming.
5. Cinnamon- This spice is delicious and can help in lowering bad cholesterol. It also raises the good cholesterol and is high in polyphenols. Cinnamon also helps colon function and can help to relieve arthritic pain due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

It is wise to choose the food we eat, because most of the diseases usually occur due to poor eating habits. Indulging in fruits and vegetables is the best.
thanks for the info but i guess grean tea out of the list now, i mean they used to say its healthy but recently i read few books and reviews by science says its not that much healthy and if you get lots of that grean tea its really not good, what why i dont know but im sure i did read that, also i dont like its taste i like red tea more, any way metabolism is much better if you walk and be active human that is the best key to metabolise your food and fats specially
Green tea is always a good choice. It shouldn't be all you eat or drink. I don't like it's taste either. I put honey in it and that helps. I know it is good for me so I do drink it. I have read things that said that water wasn't good for us if we drank too much too. The trick here is all things in moderation. We all need some exercise too, yes.
