The Essentials of Metabolism

Filed under: metabolism — Candace @ 7:32 pm

What is metabolism?

Metabolism is the amount of calories your body burns to maintain itself. Everyone has a different metabolism but they can be all put on to a spectrum between low metabolism and high metabolism.

What is my type of metabolism and how can I perfect it?

High metabolism and low metabolism are the simplest categories of metabolism. People with low metabolism are called endomorphs. These people find it easy to gain weight. In order to balance their metabolism this group can start by drinking more water and eating smaller sized meals more frequently. Meals should consist of plenty of lean protein, whole wheat products, and fruits and veggies. Exercise is crucial if you have this body type and metabolism.

The perfect bodies – women with the natural hourglass shape, men with natural muscle tone – are referred to as mesomorphs. These people have an adequate metabolism which burns just the right amount of fat. These people can develop muscle easily, and lose weight without effort. Despite their physical advantage, without the proper amount of exercise and adequate nutrition, mesomorphs can become overweight.

Lastly there are those with high metabolism. These people are slim and petite and are referred to as ectomorphs. They have lean muscle and are often curve-less and have a flat chest with a low amount of body fat. This body type makes it difficult to gain weight, fat, or muscle. These people are not at a risk of obesity, but they do need to keep a healthy diet and exercise lots to keep good overall health.

Benefits of Protein Powders

Well if you’ve decided to really get serious about exercising and want to put on some muscle then you’ve probably thought about protein powders. Not because you know how they work, but because you always see them being sold at your gym and most guys with huge muscles taking them. Ever wondered how they work? Yes. Great.

In protein powders there is, obviously protein. Duh! Well as it turns out protein is very good for your muscles. In fact, protein helps build and repair muscles and bones, repairs body cells, provides energy, and controls a lot of the important processes within the body that have to do with metabolism.

Obviously, many people that work out and take protein powder use it for the building muscle part of the product however many people don’t realize that these people use it for the recovery too. Most athletes take the powder in protein shakes before and after a workout to ensure muscle development and muscle recovery. This can help the athlete work out longer and not feel as sore in the morning.

However, everyone should be aware that taking protein powder without working out can lead to some problems. Some people have had kidney and liver problems because they take a lot of the powder, but don’t actually work out and don’t drink enough water. This causes toxins to be released into your body which is obviously not good. Also, some people experience weight gain. Remember to work out at least 3 times a week if you’re taking protein powders on a regular basis.

6 Ways to Lose Weight Naturally

Filed under: metabolism,natural medicine,natural weight loss,Uncategorized,vitamins,weight loss — Amanda @ 11:41 am

Despite what the countless infomercials and magazine ads say, you do not need hundreds of dollars worth of bizarre work out equipment or a cupboard full of worthless weight loss medicine to lose weight effectively. There are many natural medicines that will assist you in weight loss that will not harm your body with toxins and chemicals and make you feel healthy!

1. Drink more water

Water is the most important and effective weight loss remedy. By increasing your intake of water to a minimum of 8 glasses a day, your body will become more efficient in absorbing the nutrients and vitamins it needs. Drink a glass of water before you start to snack or have a meal. It may stop you from overindulging by giving you a feeling of fullness. Drinking warm water will aid in digestion.

2. Put your body to work

The number one weight loss remedy proven to be the most effective for hundreds of years is the most simple; get some exercise! There is nothing out there that will allow you to get in shape and lose weight faster than a jog on the beach or a visit to the gym. Not to mention it does wonders to the mind and will leave you feeling energized and happier. (Remember to drink loads of water when working out!!)

3. Try green tea products

Green tea is an ancient remedy in China believed to be effective for many things including weight loss. A cup of green tea has the ability to increase your metabolism and fat and calorie burning abilities. Although in ancient times green tea was consumed only as tea, today green tea comes in different forms including capsules and extracts.

4. Almonds, peanuts and walnuts!

Eating a handful of nuts a day will provide you with protein and satisfy your appetite. According to the International Journal of Obesity, a recent study showed that eating a serving of almonds daily for 6 months can help decrease your body fat by 18%. Be careful not to eat too many, because nuts also contain healthy fat, ideal in small amounts but may cause weight gain in large amounts.

5. Eat more Raw food

Raw food is a great health option because it does not contain fatty oils like cooked food, or chemicals used in processing. Try to increase your raw food intake by eating raw vegetables, fruit, nuts and especially salads!

6. Eat Pears

Pears are said to be the best fruit to aid in weight loss because they are full of fibre which improves your digestive tract and fills you up quickly to prevent further food consumption. Besides, they’re sweet and juicy!
