Article about Metabolism
Metabolism affects all body cells and is important for our health, aging, calories burned, and body weight. But there is a difference whether we are talking about metabolic hormones when there is something wrong with metabolism or metabolism as the body's total combustion of energy. Here you get clear about what metabolism is and how you can take good care of it.
"I'm overweight, but that's probably because I have a low metabolism", or "You must have a high metabolism, since you can eat so much without gaining." How we often talk about metabolism, which most consider to be the part of our organism, which regulates how quickly or slowly we burn calories. But metabolism is much more than that. Metabolism is all the chemical reactions that occur in the body - all the hormones, brain, gut and fat cells that regulates our health, aging, calories burned, and body weight.
Peter Laurberg clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Aarhus and dealing on a daily basis with metabolism disturbances in metabolism hormones and metabolic diseases.
Metabolic disease
- When you talk about that there is something wrong with your metabolism, it's about imbalances and metabolic disorder that is typically on the regulation of thyroid hormones, says Peter Laurberg.
Skjoldbruskkirtelhormonerne thyroxine and triiodothyronine that are produced in the thyroid gland at the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple, ensures that the body's cells function optimally. Thyroid function is regulated by TSH - thyroid stimulating hormone - is formed in the pituitary gland, and via the blood is fed to the thyroid gland, where it binds to and stimulates the cells that produce hormones metabolism. How can you find out if there is something wrong with your metabolism?
- Since metabolic hormones have great impact on how our body works, a metabolic disorder show itself in many ways. The rule of thumb is that anyone who goes to the doctor with something unpleasant that has lasted for more than a few weeks, and you can not find an explanation shall be tested for metabolic disease. For one can have many different symptoms of too high or too low metabolism - from stomach problems, sore muscles, sweating, nervousness, tremors and restlessness in the body and many more diffuse symptoms. Maybe you are inexplicably tired, and have high metabolism, you will typically lose weight. Conversely, a (small) tend to gain weight if your metabolism is too low, explains Peter Laurberg.
Investigation
The practitioner may rely on a blood sample whether there is a metabolic disorder by measuring the concentration of TSH in the blood. Many people will typically lose weight at the high metabolism, and opposite is a less tendency to gain weight if your metabolism is too low. Thyroid disorders can typically cause goiter, wherein the gland becomes too large when there is an imbalance in the production of Thyroid Hormone. It can be accompanied by both low as hyperthyroidism. Some patients with metabolic disease do not have goiter. The prevalence of individual metabolic disorders linked to the intake of iodine, and how much iodine is in the groundwater.
- The thyroid gland is working overtime when you lack iodine. Women are more frequent metabolic disorders than men, without knowing why, says Peter Laurberg, which discourage smoking, if you want a healthy metabolism. Otherwise he has to eat a regular diet and be aware of signs of metabolic disease. This means that you have to get her metabolism checked with the doctor if something bothers a natural over time - for example, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, sweating and sore muscles.
Metabolism and burn
Metabolic hormones are essential to how our body works - including our ability to burn calories and body weight. It is this part of the metabolism that nutrition consultant Martin Kreutzer concentrate on. As a nutritional consultant cooperate with Running26 in whose auspices he, among other things helps overweight with fat by creating the necessary balance between metabolism scale and the daily calorie intake.
- There are many myths about metabolism when it comes to weight. For example it is a common misconception to think that you can put its metabolism significantly in the weather by eating chili and thus lose weight, he says. But to understand how we affect our metabolism, we must first understand the three components of metabolism. And here we are talking about metabolism in the sense of our total combustion of energy.
- First and foremost, we have the basic metabolism which is resting metabolism, and it's about idling combustion - that is, the body burns just by keeping themselves alive when one keeps quiet. Resting metabolism can be measured by calculating the consumption of oxygen when a subject is in complete tranquility in a laboratory. When you are at rest, work the body namely also - this applies, for example, heart, kidneys, brain and intestines. Resting metabolism depends on age, body weight and composition, gender and generation, says nutrition and diet expert Martin Kreutzer. Resting metabolism is under normal circumstances, around 50-70 percent of total body burn.
Another component of metabolism is the energy body consumed by a meal. It is usually 5-10 percent of the ingested energy. The third component of metabolism is the energy we burn through physical activity.
- This is the part of metabolism, which varies most depending on activity. A carpenter burn, for example, more than one office worker for performing hard physical work. All activity promises combustion in relation to lie passively down - even small tics and drumming with his fingers. The more you exercise, the more you burn. Depending on how much you move during the course of a day, this component of metabolism typically about 20-40 percent of the total combustion, says Martin Kreutzer.
Weight Control
One is tempted at times to believe that some people are provided with a luxury combustion, helping them with unnecessary calories by raising the metabolism when eaten. Opposite these "naturally slim" people are those who basically only have to look at a calorie before than the string out in stores. Based on recent research, however, there is little evidence of such a phenomenon. Instead, the addition metabolic disorders be differences in the bodies burning and not least the experience of hunger and satiety and appetite regulation generally affecting the weight. This is then not with metabolic problems. If you want to push to its combustion, you have to eat a little, but frequently - every time we eat, the body must use energy to digest food. Frequent meals also means that we get a stable blood sugar and thus are not tempted to eat uncontrollably. At the same time we will have more energy to touch us when blood sugar is at a stable level throughout the day, says Martin Kreutzer.
As a rule, overweight a higher combustion than normal weight because a large body burns more energy than a small body. Conversely combustion lower when you lose weight - many people experience during the course of a diet to encounter a wall that suddenly makes it difficult to lose weight at the same rate as before.
- One reason is that the body turns down the combustion to take care of themselves, and to energy and energy to be physically active decreases so much that it begins to have significant impact on the daily calorie consumption. Physiologically turned down for metabolic processes, for example, operates digestion slower heart rate decreases and generally you go more on 'sleep', explains Martin Kreutzer.
Part of the explanation is that a large body consumes more calories than a small, both at rest and especially during physical activity. It requires more energy and muscle work for a man of 100 kg to go up a flight of stairs than it does for a man who weighs 50 kg. So when you drop by, and a smaller body, falls burning only natural.
- Another thing is that a kilo of muscle burns far more calories than a pound of fat, and it explains why women often find it harder to lose weight than men, since they often have more fat by the body, says Martin Kreutzer.
If you want to lose weight further, but have reached their limits, as applicable, according to Martin Kreutzer to break the usual strategy and change its action - if you have so far taken a modified diet and exercising, then you must do something extra to force the body into a further weight loss, for example by doubling the exercise or eat more protein to confront the body that it remains appropriate to lose weight. As a rule, healthy long dieting many stages, which adjusts the effort underway.
The healthy metabolism
Smoking affects metabolism, since it does disturbances in thyroid hormones. The same stress. Although cortisol is secreted during stress, makes combustion in the air, it is an unhealthy way to lose weight. Do you maintain a healthy metabolism, you have to eat healthy and exercise.
- When physical activity alone can contribute quite tremendously to the total energy used must above all take action with exercise if you want to lose weight or maintain a reasonable body weight. You have not only benefit from your increased activity while you're at it. Research shows that cultivates you strenuous exercise, combustion will be elevated in 12-24 hours after activity, says Martin Kreutzer.
The body uses more energy to digest protein than carbohydrates and fat, so a diet consisting of lots of fish, poultry, lean meat and dairy products contributes to good combustion. As an added bonus saturates proteins unique. Therefore, an intelligent slender priority level of protein intake. From the media, many people have the opinion that by using the chili in the food or drinking coffee can increase its combustion and thus lose weight.
- To eat chili and drink caffeinated beverages such as coffee batter's nothing in the big picture, as soon as the chili does not burn in the mouth longer, the metabolic rate to a normal level. Caffeine effect is also modest, even if you drink several cups. What matters is when we eat protein rich, for then we really started to burn and can be relatively easily lift it with five percent, says Martin Kreutzer.
