What is Metabolism? Is it good for me? How can i slow it/make it go faster?!


Question:
Answers:
Your metabolism is the rate at which your body converts the calories you ingest into energy. (To lose weight, you must burn off more calories than you eat.)
To speed up your metabolism you need to "trick" your body by changing up your eating habits. There are lots of foods that speed up your metabolism, especially vegetables and whole grains. If you eat 3 times a day, speed up your metabolism by eating 6 times a day.
The best way to speed up your metabolism is by eating breakfast. They don't say it's the most important meal of the day for nothing. Eating breakfast will kickstart your metabolism by making your body digest first thing. This keeps it going all day.
It's also imperative to drink lots of water.
Contrary to popular belief, starving is actually the best way to slow your metabolism down. Not only does it slow your metabolism down, it puts your body into "starvation mode" where it conserves the calories and stores them.
Another factor that slows metabolism is eating before bed. You don't burn very many calories when you sleep so the food just sits in your system.

Metabolism is all to do with how quickly food is digested and absorbed into the body. The faster it goes the better from a dieting point of view. Eating at regular intervals will speed it up and so will some foods or drinks.
metabolism is how your body naturally turns the fat in your body into energy and nuetrients. some people have naturally slow or fast metabolism. you cannot speed it up but you can help it with eating the right foods and excercising.
Metabolism burns off fat. You can slow it by not eating enough, and you can make it go faster by eating every few hours, drinking water and/or exercise.

Your metabolism is, basically, how fast your body converts food into energy. You can speed it up with regular exercise.
Metabolism is the rate at which your body processes energy (something like that)

It's good to have a high metabolism. I don't know if there is a such thing as too high a metabolism.

You can have a profound affect on your metabolism by being active. The faster and harder you work, the faster your metabolism will be. Vice versa for slowing it down.
Metabolism describes all the chemical reactions inside cells and all the physiological processes that keep us alive.
There are two aspects to metabolism:
- anabolism - the processes that synthesise things and build us (growth and repair), and
- catabolism - the processes that break things down (e.g. the process of respiration where sugars are broken down to carbon dioxide and water to release energy).
The control of metabolism is entirely automatic according to your circumstances, second to second.
The term 'metabolic rate' is an overall expression of how fast metabolism is occuring at a particular time. During exercise you will be respiring quickly to get the energy for movement, so catabolism is high. During sleep, anabolic processses are repairing and building our body, but catabolism is slow.
