Metabolism is important for our daily lives. It helps to break down and create cells in the body. They are enzyme related reactions and are determined by Catabolic and Anabolic. The body is constantly working towards building and also breaking down matter for one purpose: Keeping itself going.
By providing adequate amounts of food, the body will break it down and create new cells or repair what is broken! Amazing!
How to make your metabolism
work harder? Actually it is dependent on the lifestyle of the individual.
A sedentary individual
will generally a lower metabolism compared to a person who works out regularly.
If both consume a
sugar glazed doughnut, the individual who works out regularly will better
utilize the nutrients from doughnut because the insulin spike after an intense
workout promotes muscle recover and replenishes glycogen back into the muscles.
As for a sedentary
individual, it will most likely be part of the day’s caloric intake but if the
body considers it an excess then it gets stored as fat.
Now for another
example that will blow your mind. If an individual who works out 3 to 4 times a
week but consumes an amount of carbohydrates lower then what is required by the
body. What do you think happens? The body’s reaction is to store fat as well.
But why?
The answer lies in the
metabolism. Lower food consumption and eating lesser than what is required
lowers the metabolic rate and in turn hinders fat burning.
