Boost Metabolism, Don't Restrict Calories
- Increase metabolism by avoiding extreme calorie restriction (under 1000 calories).
- Restricting calories severely can slow down your metabolism and hinder weight loss.
Metabolism and Mitochondria
- Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories, linked to oxygen consumption.
- Mitochondria are the energy factories in cells, and their function determines metabolic rate.
Factors Influencing Metabolism
- Factors impacting metabolism include diet, exercise, environmental toxins, and thyroid health.
- Insulin resistance, from excessive starch and sugar, is a primary culprit in poor metabolism.
