"Your metabolism is what's in control of your body and how it makes and burns energy from food," states Melissa Majumdar, RD, a senior bariatric dietitian for the Brigham and Women's Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Boston and a representative for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "We rely on our metabolic process to do everyday activities but likewise to breathe, think, digest, distribute blood, and regulate temperature," she discusses.
"By simply eating, we're burning calories to turn that food into energy," Majumdar explains. Every one of these elements makes up a common percentage of the overall energy expense, however there is some irregularity. For a lot of people, thermogenesis makes up about 10 percent of their overall energy expense, while resting metabolic rate represent about 60 to 70 percent.
Genes play the most significant function in metabolic process, but some variations are seen among specific ethnic groups. Lean muscle mass, which represents about a 5 percent difference between males and females, likewise impacts metabolism, because muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. Increasing muscle mass through exercise increases your metabolism even when you're not actively exercising.
