Avoid Booze

There are so many reasons to be wary of and limit alcohol consumption and your metabolism is definitely one of them. While a small glass of wine can be good for your body, any more than that and things go downhill. This is because booze is extremely high in sugar; too high for your body to process and then expend. This extra energy is stored as fat. On top of weight gain, alcohol is a known natural depressant; Anyone who’s ever watched their entire “to do” list go untouched after a couple beers knows how quickly drinking can sap the body of energy.

Most studies suggest as little as three drinks a week, while others state a glass of red wine a day has certain health benefits, mainly to the heart. If you’re not sure whether or not you’re drinking too much, you probably are and should cut back.
