Sing in the shower
Extra kilojoule-burn is just another reason to belt out your favourite tunes in the shower. Singing in the shower can burn 570 kilojoules an hour, according to Health. And it also releases endorphins and lowers the stress hormone, cortisol, TIME reports.
Or take a bath
If you prefer baths, know that just 30 minutes of soaking in the tub could burn 585 kilojoules. The small-sample study by Britain’s Loughborough University found that hot baths and other forms of “passive heating,” such as saunas, could help reduce inflammation too.
Eat spicier food
Top your favourite savoury dishes with spices such as chilli pepper or cayenne pepper. A study from Purdue University showed that cayenne, in particular, helps to increase internal body temperature, boosting your metabolism. Plus, a little spice goes a long way. A mere half of a teaspoon of cayenne, along with your meal, can help suppress appetite, per the study.
