Is there a magic food that will help boost your metabolism?

The best ways to boost your metabolism is exercise. Muscle mass burns more calories than fat. Muscle mass tends to decrease with age and metabolism follows, as much as 2-8% a decade! That's why they recommend strength training as we age to maintain lean muscle. When exercising its also important to hydrate. Dehydration can slow your metabolism so in turn hydrating with something like coconut water can technically provide a temporary increase in your metabolism although no foods or drinks are known to permanently increase your metabolism. If they say they do, check the claim, it's not backed by the FDA and may be a ploy to get you to buy something, they are tricky like that. Technically your metabolism gets a slight boost when eating or drinking just to digest. A healthy metabolism is sustained with adequate calories (and not too few) that a healthy diet provides.
