In a sense, all of them. You want to always make sure your body is getting what it needs, that will help keep your metabolism active. If you really want to increase your metabolism, you need to focus on raising your activity level. A good balance of aerobics and weight training. Aerobics do a great job of using your muscles to burn calories, that is a part of how your bodies metabolism works. While weight training helps you builds muscle, since the more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn with the same level of activity.

Back to food though, you will want to make your calories count. Avoid empty calories at all cost, in particular refined sugars and starches. These offer almost no nutritional value, and they are broken down quickly by your body. They leave you hungry again sooner than other foods and your body will still be craving the nutrients it needs.

If you don't already, you may want to consider eating more numerous small meals a day. A good approach is 5 meals a day, starting with when you wake up and then every 3 hours after that. Humans were originally foragers, hunters and gatherers. We were meant to graze on food as we came across it. Missing meals and/or only eating once or twice a day sets off internal triggers telling your body to slow down its calorie burn and start storing what it can to help you survive. Figure out your calorie needs, based on age, gender, height, weight, and activity level and stay within 10-20% either way of that number with your daily calorie intake. If your goal is to loose fat, eat below your need level, but within that range. If your goal is a build muscle, then eat a bit over, once again within that range.

A healthy well-balanced diet and regular exercise, including aerobics and weight training, are the key to a strong optimum metabolism.

HOW TO SPEED UP METABOLISM

Well, there are excellent free methods that you can use. I'll overview them on this page and the page links given at the bottom of the answer will provide you with detailed information showing you how to do it step-by-step at your own pace. The methods are sustainable long term and they work well together. There is a pattern of eating, plus foods to eat, plus foods to avoid, and specific exercises that will all show you how to speed up metabolism.

First, eat a small meal about every three waking hours (this may be five or six meals per day). You will simply be spreading your food throughout the day, not eating more food. Each of those small meals should contain at least 20 grams of protein per feeding for a male and at least 15 grams of protein for a female.

Second, change your eating habits by eliminating or limiting refined processed carbohydrates (apart from the occasional treat). Refined processed carbohydrates can have negative affects on health. Over-consumption of these foods is a major cause of weight gain, insulin resistance, obesity, Heart disease, type 2 Diabetes, and many diet related diseases. Replace those foods with 'specific fat burning proteins' and take advantage of the thermic effect of those foods. If you are unsure what these foods are, you will a list of refined processed carbohydrates, and a list of the specific fat burning proteins, with more information about the thermic effect, at the bottom of this answer.

Third, you need to drink plenty of fresh water. Unless you are already doing so, increase your intake daily until you are consuming at least 3 quarts daily. One gallon daily would be even better.

Fourth, boost your metabolism with a program of cardio exercise. Today, for example, go for a walk at the best pace you can manage until you are comfortably tired. Note how far you walked. The day after tomorrow, go for another walk but increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking four miles. Once you have achieved that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those four miles in just under one hour. Do your walking every other day. Walking in this cardio way will burn many extra calories. There are 2 free mild cardio walking plans (one easier plan, one slightly harder plan, to get you started, listed at the bottom of this answer. Alternatively, if you are accustomed to exercise, use the intense cardio plan listed at the bottom of this answer.

Optional fifth, if you wish to add more to all the above, begin a strength/weight training program to increase your muscle mass. This too will increase your metabolism. Muscle is a metabolic furnace that will burn extra calories 24 hours daily and not just when you are exercising. Young or old, male or female, everyone can benefit from strength training. You are never too old to begin. Work out twice a week (see the page links at the bottom of this answer). Concentrate only on the basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, and chins. The free strength/weight training programs available in the link given below, will guide you.

Metabolism boosting foods help marginally increase the burn rate of the body, and when eaten within the context of a balanced diet and exercise can help weight loss significantly. Unfortunately there is no proven lasting way to simply eat your way to a lower weight without some side effects, so exercise should definitely be included.
