Studies indicate that there are many ways to burn calories and maintain fitness without exerting much effort in workouts. Below are the main methods that can help you lose weight without extra effort:
**Cold Showers**
Researchers have found evidence that exposure to cold temperatures can boost your metabolic rate. Taking a cold shower for 15 minutes can burn up to 62 calories.
**House Cleaning**
Few of us enjoy household chores, but activities like vacuuming can help you stay fit.
**Eating Celery**
Celery has long been considered a food with negative calories. Studies show that consuming raw celery burns 72 calories, while drinking celery juice burns 112 calories.
**Shopping**
Pushing a shopping cart can burn 243 calories per hour.
**Simple Walking**
Walking for at least 30 minutes a day can help lower blood pressure, strengthen muscles, and boost immune function.
**Chewing Gum**
Research indicates that chewing gum reduces food intake between meals. Chewing gum enhances the feeling of fullness, thus reducing the number of calories consumed. A study conducted on 30 young adults found that chewing gum for 20 minutes after each meal increases metabolism, even at night.
