Simply defined, metabolism rate is the rate at which your body burns calories. Here are some facts related to this topic:

  1. Older people have a lower metabolism rate as they lose muscle mass every year.
  2. Women have a lower metabolism rate compared to men. Men have more muscle mass due to their body structure.
  3. Thyroid problems can also contribute to a slow or fast metabolic rate. An underactive thyroid gland or an overactive thyroid gland can cause this problem. It is better to consult your doctor for this problem.

Good friends! I have listed three facts. It is not possible to get over fact 1. We are getting older day by day with every breath we take. However, old age does not mean that you have to gain weight. Old is gold and you can make this proverb come true for your health problems. You can live a healthy life at 70 like a 20 year old. You already know the simplest formula to lose weight: “Eat few calories and burn more”.

Here are some steps you need to follow:

  1. Take a look at your resting metabolic rate, also known as RMR. Calculate the cost of your energy expenditure. How much energy do you spend while reading this article? In other words, this can be calculated by measuring your heartbeat and your breathing rate.

  2. Make a plan. How are you going to increase your metabolism rate? There are some diets and exercises. Which should you try? I recommend that you use a combination of exercises and well-planned diets. Supplements like green tea can motivate you to exercise and thus help boost your metabolism. The exercises are good for this purpose. Weight-lifting machines, punching bags, exercise room, gyms, and yoga classes can help you do just that. Choose what suits you best.

  3. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is important for your health. Drinking more or less depends on your body’s requirements.

  4. Eat 5 or 6 times a day. Eating small meals is usually better. Most people tend to eat less when they eat small portions.

  5. Fiber intake is necessary. Include salads and fruits in your daily life. They will give you the necessary energy and you will feel satisfied.

  6. To increase the metabolism rate, you need to gain muscle mass as opposed to fat. To gain muscle mass, aerobic exercises are necessary. Exercise at least 3 days a week. Walking for 30 to 45 minutes (in one session) is enough.

  • Start walking and continue walking for 5 minutes at a slow pace.
  • Increase your walking speed.
  • Run until your heartbeat is faster than normal.
  • Slow down and return to your walking speed.

These are the simple steps. If you follow them, you will notice a change in your metabolism rate and it will eventually help you lose weight.
