Active metabolism is a key to health and wellness, as it is responsible for body activity, fat burning and motor activity, and it is also responsible for maintaining the correct body weight. By stimulating and stimulating your metabolism, you will burn more calories and grease even as you sleep.

A healthy diet, good sleep and physical activity are the best ways to stimulate the metabolism.

Metabolism is the body's processes of obtaining energy or making energy from the food we eat, and without metabolism the organism dies.

The food a person consumes consists of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, which the body breaks down through the digestive system into sugars, amino acids (from proteins) and fatty acids, and absorbs them into the bloodstream.

And then the body uses these sugars, amino acids and fatty acids directly as a source of energy, or stores them in body tissues such as muscles, liver and body fat.

The amount of calories a person burns per day is called the metabolic rate.

For example, for a person who has a metabolic rate of 2000 calories to maintain his constant weight with his regular daily activities such as work, sports, etc., he must eat a food that contains 2000 calories, but if he eats more he will gain additional weight as a result of storing the excess in the body, and if he consumes Less, he loses weight by burning it from the body’s stock.

In order for a person to burn one kilogram of body fat, he needs the energy balance of his food to be negative by about 7,700 calories.

Factors that determine the metabolic rate:

  • The basal metabolic rate is the amount of calories a person burns during rest, even while asleep.
  • The rate of motor activity and exercise.
  • The amount of muscle and fat in the body.

The basal metabolic rate plays a role in the ability of a person to gain or lose weight. He who has a lower basal metabolic rate is easier to gain weight if he consumes the same amount of surplus food compared to his metabolism is higher.

The basal metabolic rate slows with age and loss of muscle mass, and this can be counteracted and even metabolism increased by maintaining good health and exercising.

Exercises burn calories, and they also help build muscle that burns more calories in the event of rest, and thus increases the basal metabolic rate. That is, you burn more calories and grease even as you sleep.

German professor Matthias Weber said that many mix and equate metabolism with digestion, and this is not entirely true, as metabolism means all the biochemical processes that occur in the cells of the body.

Metabolism is of two types

The therapeutic nutritionist explained that metabolism is divided into two types: demolition and structural, and the metabolic metabolism is responsible for breaking down basic nutrients, whether carbohydrates, protein or fats, while constructive metabolism helps in building and repairing cells.
For
his part , the German therapeutic nutrition specialist Johannes George Vixler explained that the metabolism constructivist helps fight infection and repair injuries.

Proteins, fats and carbohydrates - among their functions in the body - are required to build muscle and regenerate cells, while hormones and enzymes ensure that metabolism of all kinds does not work in parallel in cells, but always in succession.

Power delivery

Among the actions responsible for the metabolism system is also the delivery of energy through the blood circulation to the organs of the body, which it needs to perform its motor functions, for example, while the excess energy is stored in the fat and muscle cells.

In turn, the German endocrinologist Mattias Weber explained that in order for the body weight not to increase, the energy entering the body must be from the energy formed by the food to the extent that the body needs to move, and here experts point to the importance of continuing to exercise, That helps burn calories.

10,000 steps a day

To activate metabolism, Fexler recommends cutting at least 10,000 steps a day, as this lowers blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Weber
stresses of
a balanced diet and healthy, which stimulates the whole grain oat bran, legumes , vegetables and metabolism products.

This also applies to the low-fat protein found in meat and lean fish, for example. To enhance
the
metabolism of the body must obtain a sufficient amount of fluids, preferably not less than one liter and half liter of water per day or unsweetened tea.

enough sleep

Adequate sleep contributes decisively to promoting metabolism and the regeneration of muscle cells, knowing that little sleep causes hormone imbalance, which affects appetite. So experts recommend that you sleep enough 7 to 8 hours a day. One
of the
things that an imbalance occur in metabolic processes: psychological stress, so experts recommend adequate psychological comfort through the inhalation of fresh air through the window or practicing relaxation yoga and meditation.
