Hemp seeds are tiny but mighty when it comes to nutrition. They contain a perfect balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support metabolism and inflammation control. Additionally, they’re rich in plant-based protein and fiber, making them great for satiety and digestion. Hemp seeds are also packed with magnesium and zinc, two minerals essential for energy production and metabolic efficiency. Sprinkle them over oatmeal, yogurt, or smoothies for a quick and easy metabolism-enhancing boost.

Leafy greens like kale, collard greens, and arugula are excellent for digestion and metabolism due to their high fiber, iron, and chlorophyll content. Iron helps oxygenate the blood and fuels energy production, while fiber keeps digestion running smoothly. The chlorophyll in these greens also supports detoxification, which helps remove waste products that can slow down metabolic processes. Try tossing greens into a morning smoothie, adding them to an omelet, or making a savory breakfast bowl with eggs and avocado.
