Episode notes
Use Blood Donation To Burn Calories
- Donate blood periodically to force your body to rebuild blood components and burn extra calories.
- Space donations at least eight weeks apart to allow recovery and gain additional health benefits.
Cold Activates Brown Fat
- Cold exposure activates brown fat which raises metabolic rate and can convert white fat to a browner, more calorie-burning tissue.
- Even mild cold (62–66°F for two hours) raised daily calorie burn in human studies.
Chew Gum To Curb Snacking And Boost Metabolism
- Chew sugar-free gum after meals or between meals to reduce snacking and slightly raise metabolic rate.
- Chewing for extended periods can increase calorie burn and effects may persist into the next morning.
