5 Ways to Burn Calories Without Exercise

Green tea can help promote effective calorie burning

1. Promote metabolism‏

Metabolism is the process by which the body converts food into energy for activity. Boosting metabolism is an important key that affects body weight. However, how to boost and enhance the body to burn calories quickly depends on many factors.

‏In general, men tend to burn more calories than women, even when they are at rest. Metabolism slows down after age 40 for most people. You can boost your metabolism by drinking plenty of water, increasing protein, omega-3s in your daily diet…‏

‏In addition, the habit of drinking black coffee can also help you boost your metabolism. Caffeine in coffee helps you prevent fatigue and increase endurance during exercise. However, you should only drink in moderation, drinking too much can negatively affect your sleep and overall health.

‏If you don't like coffee, you can choose green tea. Recent studies show that the active ingredients in tea can boost metabolism, improve fat oxidation and burn calories. Drinking 150 - 240ml of green tea or oolong tea every day, you can increase your energy expenditure by up to 90 calories.

2. Get a little more sleep‏

Metabolism takes place even while you rest to create energy to maintain basic body functions.

Accordingly, the body burns about 40 - 55 calories per hour while sleeping. Therefore, just sleeping an extra 5-10 minutes every morning can also bring about significant changes.

3. Move more at work to burn calories‏

‏Not only does sitting for long periods of time cause weight gain, it also increases your risk of developing serious chronic diseases. If you have a desk job, change your daily routine to include more physical activity by getting up and moving around for at least 15 minutes every hour. Additionally, you can:

Taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator burns calories;

Park at the end of the parking lot so you have to walk further to get to your destination;

Discuss work while walking down the hallway, instead of sitting in a conference room;

Getting away from your desk during breaks to relax and walk around will help burn calories…

4. Increase calorie burn at home‏

Housework such as cooking, cleaning the house, gardening... can burn several hundred calories per hour.

For example, an average-weight woman can burn about 85 calories after doing housework for 30 minutes, which is equivalent to 15 minutes of walking to reduce belly fat. Thus, cleaning the house for about 1 hour can help you burn 160 calories or more depending on your body and the intensity of the work.

Besides, outdoor activities with your children can also help you burn more calories without exercising. This activity also helps your children not gain weight and reduces the time spent in front of TV, computers, phones, etc.
