- Metabolism - All the chemical reactions that take place in your cells. The rate is the speed at which they occur
- There are slight variations in the resting metabolic rate . There are factors that affect the speed which are the following.
- Muscle to fat proportion. Muscle requires more energy than fatty tissue. If muscle is higher to fat then you will have a higher metabolic rate
- Gender - If you are a man then you are generally bigger in size and you have a higher muscle proportion
- You size - If you are bigger in size then you usually require more energy because you have more cells
- Inherited (Genetic) Factors
- Exercise is important because it builds muscle which boots metabolic rate
- There are slight variations in the resting metabolic rate . There are factors that affect the speed which are the following.
- Exercise
- Exercise is important because decrease them amount of energy stored as fat
- It is also important because those who exercise are healthier than those who don't
- And you are less likely to develop health issues such as obesity.

- Arthritis ( inflammation of joint)
- Type 2 diabetes (inability to control blood sugar levels)
- Heart Disease
- Cancer
- High blood pressure
- Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure
- Some people may inherit an under active thyroid gland which increase risk of obesity and decreases metabolic rate
- Too much saturated fat can lead to an increase in blood cholesterol levels
- Cholesterol is a fatty substance requires in nearly all cells. But some inherited factors may increase it's levels
- When you are malnourished you are said to have a diet which is out of balance
- Slimming Claims
- Four things to look out for when evaluating slimming claims
- Is it a qualified writer published in a reputable jornal
- Is it a scientific study with no connection to manufacturer
- Do similar studies provide the same results
- Was the sample of people tested/asked large enough to provide reliable results
- Four things to look out for when evaluating slimming claims
- Metabolism - All the chemical reactions that take place in your cells. The rate is the speed at which they occur
