Metabolism:
We have all got one, but some people’s are “faster” or “slower” than others’. And that matters, because the rate at which your body burns calories and converts fuel to energy can also affect how easily you gain or lose weight. Metabolism is a term that describes all the chemical reactions in your body. These chemical reactions keep your body alive and functioning.
However, the word metabolism is often used interchangeably with metabolic rate, or the number of calories you burn. The higher it is, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to lose weight and keep it off. Having a high metabolism can also give you energy and make you feel better.
While much of your metabolic rate is determined by genet - ics, age, g e n d e r and body s i z e , t h e r e are some l i f e s t y l e changes that can, quite literally, speed up the process.....
