Their original goal was not necessarily all that lofty, either: Box Tops for Education, originally called School Change, started out as a loyalty program.

10 tips to boost
your metabolism
[read]
usatodayt.com |
Metabolism sounds mysterious and complicated, but it's actually pretty simple: It's the amount of energy (aka calories) our bodies need daily.
About 70% of those calories are used for basic functions, such as breathing and blood circulation, says Rochelle Goldsmith, director of the Exercise Physiology Lab at Columbia University Medical Center.
20% is fuel for physical activity, including working out, fidgeting, walking and even holding our bodies upright while standing.
The remaining 10% helps us digest what we eat.
The trouble begins when you consume more calories than your body needs to do these things: That's when you pack on the pounds. You can partly thank your parents for the speed of your metabolism. Gender also plays a role. On average, men’s metabolism is 10-15% higher than women’s because their bodies contain more muscle content.
The good news is, you can make your metabolism faster, experts say, despite genetics and gender. These are 10 simple secrets to boosting it big-time. |
