The idea of burning fat at rest sounds almost too good to be true, but is it really possible? The answer is yes. Your body burns calories constantly, even when you’re at rest. However, there are ways to increase this passive fat burning to maximize your results. In this article, we’ll explore the keys to burning fat at rest and how you can implement these strategies into your daily life, including the use of Recovery Plus pressotherapy products.

To understand how to burn fat at rest, it is first important to know the concept of basal metabolism (BM). Basal metabolism is the amount of energy (calories) your body needs to maintain vital functions while you are at rest. These functions include breathing, blood circulation, body temperature regulation and cell renewal.

Keys to burn fat at rest

  1. Increase your muscle mass

Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. Therefore, increasing your muscle mass can help raise your basal metabolic rate. Incorporating resistance exercise, such as weight lifting or resistance training, is critical to building and maintaining muscle.

  • Tip: Perform strength training at least 2-3 times per week, focusing on all major muscle groups.
  1. Performs high intensity training (HIT).

High-intensity training, HIT, can increase your metabolism and promote fat burning even after you have finished exercising. This phenomenon is known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.

  • Tip: Incorporate 20-30 minute HIT sessions into your weekly routine. Alternate between bursts of intense exercise and short periods of rest.
  1. Use Recovery Plus Pressure Therapy

Pressure therapy is a technique that uses air pressure to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce fluid retention and swelling. In addition, improved circulation can increase metabolism and aid in fat burning.

  1. Eat enough protein

Proteins are not only essential for muscle repair and growth, but they also have a greater thermic effect compared to carbohydrates and fats. This means that your body burns more calories when digesting protein.

  • Tip: Include lean protein sources at every meal, such as chicken, fish, eggs, legumes and low-fat dairy products.
  1. Adequate hydration

Water is essential for all bodily functions, including metabolism. Even mild dehydration can slow down your metabolic rate.

  • Tip: Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and more if you are active or if it is hot.
  1. Get enough sleep

Quality sleep is crucial for a healthy metabolism. Lack of sleep can disrupt the hormones that regulate hunger and appetite, which can lead to weight gain.

  • Tip: Try to sleep 7 to 9 hours a night and establish a regular sleep routine.
  1. Consume healthy fats

Healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, olive oil and fatty fish, are essential for metabolism and overall health. These fats help regulate hormones and can improve satiety.

  • Tip: Incorporate healthy fats in your daily diet, moderating their consumption so as not to exceed total calories.
  1. Maintain constant physical activity

In addition to scheduled exercise, staying active throughout the day can contribute significantly to calorie burning. Activities such as walking, climbing stairs or doing household chores can increase your energy expenditure.

  • Tip: Use a pedometer or an app to track your daily steps and set goals to stay active.
  1. Use supplements wisely

Some supplements, such as caffeine and green tea, have been shown to have thermogenic effects that can slightly increase your metabolism. However, it is important to use them in moderation and in combination with proper diet and exercise.

  • Tip: Consult a health professional before incorporating supplements into your routine.
