What Exactly is Metabolism?
Most people think they have a slow one. We all wish ours was a lot faster. The slimming industry has made a fortune selling pills that supposedly boost it… Even my local curry house is claiming that eating spicy food will make it sky rocket! But what exactly is ‘metabolism’? Why is it important? And how can it help us in our quest to fit back into our favourite jeans?
Your body is a made up of trillions of cells. Within each of those cells are chemical reactions that burn up the calories in the food you eat. The name given to all of these calorie burning reactions is ‘metabolism’, and the speed at which this process happens is called your ‘metabolic rate’. The faster a person’s metabolic rate, the more calories they burn each day.
