5.
Capsaicin Eat the Heat 

 It turns out that capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their mouth-searing quality, can also fire up your metabolism. Eating about 1 tablespoon of chopped red or green chilies boosts your body's production of heat and the activity of your sympathetic nervous system (responsible for our fight-or-flight response), according to a study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology. The result: a temporary metabolism spike of about 23 percent. Stock up on chilies to add to meals, and keep a jar of red pepper flakes on hand for topping pizzas, pastas, and stir-fries.

There are two main types of dietary fiber -- soluble and insoluble. 

Soluble fiber is the fibrous part of a plant that dissolves in water. When digested, soluble fiber absorbs the water inside your body as it travels through your digestive system. 

Insoluble fiber stays relatively unchanged as it moves through the body during digestion. Both types of fiber are broken down minimally, but neither one is absorbed by the body.

Soluble Fiber and Metabolism
According to the book "365 Ways To Boost Your Metabolism" by Rachel Laferriere, adding soluble fiber to your diet is an easy way to increase your metabolism. This occurs through two mechanisms. First, soluble fiber binds to bile to assist excess cholesterol out of your body. It also slows down your digestion, which helps control blood glucose levels. A more steady blood glucose benefits your metabolism.

Insoluble Fiber and Metabolism 
According to Laferriere, insoluble fiber benefits your metabolism. Since insoluble fiber travels through your digestive system basically in the same state as when you ate it, it fills you up. This creates a feeling of fullness that helps prevent overeating. In addition, when fiber is eaten along with fat and cholesterol it keeps your body from absorbing extra dietary fats and cholesterol.
