Weight Loss & Metabolism

Description

Comments (0)

Description: Metabolism refers to the processes by which your body converts food into energy. This includes the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic functions (like breathing and maintaining body temperature) at rest. Your metabolism determines how efficiently your body burns calories. For weight loss, the goal is to create a calorie deficit, meaning you burn more calories than you consume.

Key Points:

What is Metabolism?
- Metabolism encompasses all the chemical processes that occur in the body to convert food into energy and regulate bodily functions. BMR represents the number of calories your body burns at rest to sustain basic life processes.
Factors Affecting Metabolism:
- Age: As you age, your metabolism naturally slows down, largely due to muscle loss.
- Gender: Men generally have a faster metabolism than women due to higher muscle mass.
- Body Composition: More muscle mass increases metabolic rate since muscle burns more calories than fat.
- Genetics: Some people naturally have a faster or slower metabolism.
- Hormones: Hormones like thyroid hormones, insulin, and cortisol can impact your metabolic rate.
