Paradoxically, the body will use energy as leaving the diet progresses, since muscle and therefore decreases the body lowers its metabolic rate, is something we can overcome by combining diet with exercise, especially exercise toning or building muscle (weights).

Ideally, therefore it is at least trying to lose muscle as possible in order that the basal metabolism mantega as high as possible, doing some exercise for the muscles to develop and maintain the protein in the body by forcing it to use more energy fat deposits.
Factors influencing the metabolism

Accelerate or increase the basal metabolism is the best way to lose weight naturally, slowly and without much effort, but you should know that there are different factors that make your body burn calories faster, including:

* Genetics: we will not tire of repeating that we must keep in mind that everybody is different and this is because each act is genetically different from the same things.
* Gender: Men always burn more calories than women (generally normal) even when at rest.
* Age: metabolism is increasing up to 30 years, then typically remains stable until 40 years of which decreases gradually.

metabolism
Surely we have heard hundreds of times to talk about the basal metabolism and probably many of you do not know that is exactly the same, so we thought Viton create this entry to explain what the basal metabolism.

In addition to explaining what the basal metabolism will give you some guidelines or tips that you can increase it, since in many cases this will be necessary for our body to burn fatter every day doing nothing extraordinary, except for small changes in our lives.

So we’ve divided the input into two parts, in this first vaos try to first clarify if it is actually the basal metabolism, through its relationship with muscle or rather the amount of muscle that holds and rise thanks to the realization of tone sport or gain muscle, and following the guidelines which will be discussed to increase.
Definition

Basically, the basal metabolism is the energy your body spends one day live your life generic, not counting exerted or work done, that is, the amount of calories needed to perform all the functions you need your body to live.

Basal metabolism is the most important metabolic and occupies about 70-75% of total calories burned during a day, hence it is important to increase it for those whose priority weight loss.
Relationship to muscle

The first thing to note is that the basal metabolism is directly linked to the amount of muscle tissue that the body in question has, over the greater amount of muscle metabolic rate and thus the greater the amount of energy consumed no more.

The problem that exists is that people who want to lose weight and get to make a very strict diet usually lose a lot of muscle because the body has a lack of energy and would use the protein as an energy source.

The thyroid is an endocrine gland located in the neck, below the trachea. Its function is the production of several hormones that control metabolism, stimulate growth and other bodily functions. Thyroid disease can be hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, depending on whether the activity is excessive or insufficient.

It is estimated that three out of 100 Spanish people have problems with this gland called thyroid and located in the neck below the Adam’s apple. ” If the activity of the thyroid is excessive, the patient suffers heat and sweating, rapid pulse, diarrhea and weight loss. If, however, hormone production is abnormally low, the person will be prone to colds, constipation and excessive weight gain.
