The importance of getting up early!

Scientific and medical research clearly shows that testosteron is linked to metabolism and a greater production of that hormone has a direct effect on burning calories from fat. Researchers also found that the levels of testosteron prodution in an average adult vary throughout the day, while this process usually peaks between 7 am and 9 am every day.

Being awake during those morning hours is crucial to enhancing the chemical processes in the body that cause testosteron production. During those very hours, our metabolism is at its peak! This means two very important things to anyone who wants to lose weight: (1) Since your metabolism is most intense during those hours, anything you eat between 7 and 9 in the morning will be absorbed, digested and used as energy more efficiently than during any other time of the day. Therefore, this is the time when the smallest amount of energy you consume will be stored as fat. (2) These hours are also the time when your body is at its fastest and strongest (unless you didn't sleep all night, of course). Therefore, exercising during those hours is will allow you to perform better physically while building muslce and losing fat. fat.

So, if you are serious about losing weight and are eager to make it happen sooner, get up at or before 7 am.
