We all may like to imbibe in an adult beverage every now and then&#8230; But how does alcohol consumption affect metabolism? Alcohol lowers metabolic rate due to testosterone being reduced. As a result, this means less muscle gain and a direct impact on the effectiveness of your strength training\u00a0workout. When consuming alcohol, not only are hormones impacted, but sleep patterns become disrupted and recovery is then affected. The liquid calories can pack on fat along with\u00a0reducing\u00a0inhibitions. Intoxication\u00a0can lead\u00a0to reaching for that late night slice\u00a0of greasy pepperoni pizza!<\/p>\n<p>Although everyone loves a good party every now and then, we can also focus on balancing our behaviors by choosing\u00a0healthy ways\u00a0to\u00a0boost metabolism. Exercise, eating\u00a0healthy foods and consuming non-alcoholic drinks (ice-cold water)\u00a0 are all wonderful ways to begin to revitalize metabolism. These\u00a0lifestyle modifications can raise the basal metabolic rate\u00a0and train your body to burn more calories. One of the largest calorie-burning components of metabolism is driven by building muscle. The more muscle you have compared to fat, the higher your metabolism and the more calories you burn.\u00a0Along with strength training,\u00a0 HIIT or interval training can increase post-exercise metabolism for up to 24 hours.\u00a0\u00a0An ATC\u00a0 personal trainer can help\u00a0design a fitness program specifically for you that is sure to boost your metabolism!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-button-wrapper\"><style type=\"text\/css\" scoped=\"scoped\">.fusion-button.button-1 .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1 i {color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1 {border-width:1px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:hover i,.fusion-button.button-1:focus .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:focus i,.fusion-button.button-1:active .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-1:active{color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover, .fusion-button.button-1:focus, .fusion-button.button-1:active{border-width:1px;border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-1:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-1:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#ffffff;}.fusion-button.button-1{width:auto;}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-square button-xlarge button-default button-1\" target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/newsletter-atc-fitness-tips\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">GO BACK<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":34884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1421],"tags":[1944,1943,1935,1946,1426,1434,1430,1427,1934,1945,1433,1441,1431,1435,1447],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34769"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myaroundtheclockfitness.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
