Why should we improve basal metabolism?

Base generation is tall, not easy to gain weight, and lose weight quickly.

Basal metabolism refers to the minimum calories needed by the human body to maintain normal life at rest. Including breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, etc. , is all the functions in the most basic state of life. As long as you are alive, even if you do nothing, you will consume a certain amount of heat. The basal metabolic rate of men is higher than that of women.

60%~70% of energy consumption every day comes from our basic metabolism. It can be said that basal metabolism is the biggest source of our calorie consumption. So, how can we improve basal metabolism and put ourselves in a state of "fast fat consumption"?

Three methods to improve basal metabolism:

1. Don't go on a diet:

Studies have shown that when the weight is reduced by 10% or more, the energy consumption will be reduced by 15%, that is, normal weight loss will lose muscle, and then basal metabolism and energy consumption will decrease. If you go on a diet, your muscles will lose faster and your natural basal metabolism will drop faster.

2. Increase muscles:

The higher the proportion of muscle in our body, the higher the basal metabolic rate will be. Increasing muscle content through exercise is a very good way to improve basal metabolic rate. When the body has more muscle mass, it can burn fat better, which can make us lie down and consume more calories.

3. Stay up late less:

Lack of sleep will reduce metabolism. If you don't sleep for one night, the basal metabolic rate will drop by 5% the next day. If you sleep only 5.5 hours a day for two weeks, the basal metabolic rate will drop significantly after a period of time. I will get fat if I stay up late, and my basal metabolism will also decline, which is really worse.
