Because basal metabolism is the energy consumption used by the body to maintain the basic functions of body temperature, heartbeat, respiration, tissues and organs and cells in the most basic state of life activity. Its value is related to gender, age, height, weight and health status.

At room temperature 18 ~ 25℃, the human body is in an empty stomach, lying flat, awake and quiet state, which is called the basic state.

Methods of improving basal metabolism

1. Stop ineffective dieting

For friends who go on a diet to lose weight, the weight will drop significantly in the first 1-2 weeks. But then the body's "defense system" will make a protective response to the calorie reduction caused by dieting, reduce the basal metabolic rate to reduce energy consumption, and affect the normal operation of organ functions. The stricter the diet, the slower the basal metabolic rate becomes. In the end, even if you only eat a little every day, your weight will not drop and your health will get worse and worse.

2. Breakfast should not be less, and the number of meals should be increased.

When we fall asleep, the metabolic rate in our body decreases, and when we start eating again, the metabolic rate increases with recovery. If you miss breakfast, your body will have to wait until lunch to start burning calories and speed up metabolism. If you are losing weight, you must not save breakfast.

On the premise of constant total energy, eating four or five small meals a day can maintain a vigorous metabolic level better than eating three big meals. The time between meals should be kept within 2-3 hours as far as possible, and protein food must be served for each meal. A healthy and wise life diet plan is to order six meals a day and follow the principle of eating less and eating more, which not only stabilizes blood sugar, but also ensures vigorous metabolism.

3. Increase the proportion of protein in food.

Ensure that 15%-20% of daily calories come from protein, and take in more calories of 150-200kcal every day. Protein is superior to carbohydrate or fat in improving basal metabolic rate, mainly because amino acids are difficult to digest and decompose in human body, and the main organs of the body need to consume more energy for digestion and absorption.

Adequate intake of protein can also ensure and build muscle weight. The greater the muscle specific gravity, the higher the metabolic rate.

The life-long healthy intelligent diet scheme provides rich and high-quality protein, supplements human needs and promotes basal metabolism.
