HOW IS METABOLISM SPEED?

Metabolism; It is the amount of energy required in a day for the continuation of the basic needs of the body. The measurement is made with a body analysis device and its value changes according to gender, age, muscle-bone structure and physical activity.

The biggest determinant of metabolic rate is basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of energy expended while resting or sleeping, i.e. not doing any activity.  A slow basal metabolic rate can cause you to gain weight despite eating less or to lose weight slowly even if you diet.

The metabolic rate in men is 10-15% faster than in women, but it decreases with age. When the metabolism starts to slow down, the age factor is not solely responsible for this. And also  your diet and physical activity  also plays a big role.

There are many factors that affect the metabolic rate. These are; It varies according to body weight, age, gender, genetic factors, body temperature, diet and the way you exercise.
