THE METABOLISM SECRET OF HEALTH

THE METABOLISM SECRET

Dieters often lament that a slow metabolism keeps them from losing weight. Marketers of weight-loss products capitalize on this belief by offering ways to boost metabolism and “melt away” unwanted pounds. Is a faster metabolism really the key to weight loss? And can you really speed up your metabolism?

We examine the factors that affect metabolism and weight loss and weight in on ingredients in popular products.

Metabolism made

Easy : metabolism refers to the way the body uses energy(measured in calories). The body uses calories in three ways:
1. To sustain vital body functions like breathing, heart rate, waste removal, cell growth and cell repair, even when at rest (amazingly, all this accounts for up to 75% of the calories you burn daily).
2. For physical activity and
3. For digestion and absorption of food, which uses about 10% of a day’s calories?

CAUSE OF INFERTILITY

The speed at which the body burns calories when at rest is called your resting metabolic rate (RMR). Everyone’s RMR differs and may in part be genetically determined. Some lucky people really do have a higher metabolic rate than others and therefore burn more calories even doing nothing.

The only way to know your RMR is to have a health and fitness professional measure it, such as with a hand-held device called body gem, for example. It measures oxygen consumption, which your body burns calories. Cutting calories below your RMR is not smart, because your body is fighting to conserve the energy it has stored in body fat.

Here’s what you need to know about metabolism and its effect on weight loss:

A IS FOR ACTIVITY: People who exercise regularly burn more calories and have more muscle mass than those who are less active. Aerobic exercise, like brisk walking and swimming,burns calories, while strength training slows the inevitable muscle loss associated with aging, which helps boost metabolism.

It’s often reported that aerobic and resistance exercise increase metabolism not only while you are exercising, but for several hours afterwards as well. This increase in metabolism is not sustained long-term, however. High-intensity resistance training may have the greatest effect on metabolic rate post exercise, but there are no studies linking the after effects of activity with significant weight loss.

GET YOUR ZZZs. How long you sleep may affect hormones that regulate appetite and body weight. The large, ongoing Wisconsin sleep cohort study found that people who sleep less, weight more. Sleeping only four to five hours a night – instead of the recommended seven to eight alters level of the appetite regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin, leading to increased appetite. These hormonal changes combined with having more awake time to eat and feeling too tired to exercise all contribute to weight gain.

CARBS S. PROTEIN. The Atkins diet, south beach diet and others like them maintain that low-carbohydrate diets offer a metabolic advantage over low-fat diets by burning more calories for energy.

The weight loss seen with these diets is more the result of high protein than low carb, according to dale schoeller, PhD., of the university of Wisconsin at Madison. In fact, a recent review of studies that he authored found some evidence of a very slight metabolic advantage for high protein diets. Protein increase satiety, helping dieters stick to low calories diets. And protein may slightly blunt the fall in resting metabolism that occurs with weight loss. Still, what matters most is total calories.

“ The vast majority of weight loss is explained by how much people cut calories and how much they exercise, “ says schoeller,” not by changing the percentage of carbohydrates protein or fat in their diets.”

DO SUPPLEMENTS HELP?

Many weight loss supplements marketed to increase metabolism contain stimulants like caffeine, guarana, yerba mate or bitter orange (see box above). Stimulants speed up metabolism by increasing heart rate. Unfortunately, they can also produce side effects like insomnia, anxiety, heart palpitations and elevated blood pressure.

By improving the health of the vital organs the body can revitalize the reproductive organs. Patients who are using conventional fertility treatments are encouraged to combine with naturopathic treatment for better results.
