How To Increase Metabolic Rate - Factors Afecting Metabolic
Rate
As the body sleeps, its organs continue
to work. And to make the organs work, the body has to produce
energy to power these organs.
The energy that is expended to make our organs
do its job while we sleep is called the Basal
Metabolic Rate or BMR. This is the amount of calories
burned to produce the needed amount of energy as we sleep.
You have to realize that when we are asleep
our digestion continues. And the energy that will make this
process happen is the BMR. Also when we sleep we continue
to breathe and to even snore.
The energy used for us to breathe and snore
while we sleep is also the BMR. All the other functions of
our body as we sleep are all powered by the BMR. Even our
dreams are powered by the BMR.
Each one of us has our own individual BMR
which is different from everybody else, considering that a
person’s BMR is influenced by several factors. Age
is a great factor in determining our metabolic rate.
Our rate
of metabolism decreases as we grow older. The metabolic
rate of a 50 year old person would be slower compared to the
metabolic rate of a 20 year old.
Another factor that influence a person’s
BMR is his weight. A person who is leaner in body structure
and lighter in weight will have a higher rate of metabolism
as compared to a person who is fat and heavier in weight.
Another factor will be the gender. In most
cases, men will have a comparatively higher rate of metabolism
compared to women. And The last factor that would affect a
person’s metabolic rate will be heredity.
Indeed, aside from the generally accepted
factors that affect a person’s metabolic rate of course
would be the composition of a person’s body.
Like for example the weight of two identical
twins would be the same, their age the same of course, they
are both males, and there would be no question that they have
the same heredity make up.
If this is the situation you would consider
that they should have the same metabolic rate, right? I am
sorry, but there is still a very good chance that they won’t
have the same metabolic rate.
Why? The reason is that there is a very good
possibility that they will not have the same fat and muscle
content in their body, although as a whole they might have
the same weight.
This just goes to show that because of the
complexity of the various factors that influence a metabolic
rate, we can say that the individual
metabolic rate of a person is uniquely his own
The study that was made in relation to individual
metabolic rate showed that most men have a higher metabolic
rate than most women.
This of course, is brought about by the
fact that men has more muscle content than women and that
in general, most women have more fat content than men.
It has also been noted in the study that
the average percentage of difference is 3 % and that aside
from fat and muscle factors, there were also other minor factors
that were considered that contributed to the difference.
