Best Answer

Most of your metabolism is aerobic. (it uses oxygen to produce energy) Red blood cells carry oxygen to your cells.

So your red blood cells can act like a gas pedal on a car for your metabolism rate. If you get more red blood cells to your body faster, then your metabolism will increase. (This increase will only happen up until it hits a limit)

This is why supplements that claim to increase your metabolism are often just herbs with caffeine added. Caffeine makes your heart rate increase and this makes your metabolism speed up slightly.
