How Calories Burned In The Body?

KickandRush.blogspot.com.If you want to lose weight, we often hear, calories burned needs more than calorie intake. That is why exercise and diet are two things that need to be done to achieve that goal. But actually how calorie-burning mechanism in the body? 

Clinical nutrition specialist Oetoro Samuel said, burning calories in the body occurs due to metabolism. The faster rate of metabolism, the more calories you burn, and vice versa. 

Metabolism is the body's process of generating energy used for basic living needs or also known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and daily activities. Metabolic rate varies in each person, so that any calorie needs also vary. 

"Usually the older the person, the rate of metabolism decreases, so that age is a determining factor for the speed of the metabolic rate," Samuel said when contacted by Reuters Health, Friday (01/17/2014). 

In addition to age, he continued, the factors that affect the metabolism of the other gender and the environment, such as temperature, and several other factors. These factors generally affecting the BMR. Beyond that, the factor can be derived from physical activity. 

Physical activity determines the rate of metabolism, then the people who do more physical activity will burn more calories than a little physical activity. 

The same thing is also spoken by a physician observer lifestyle and physiologists, Grace Judio-Kahl. He said, BMR is the energy required to sustain life such as body temperature, the lungs, heart rate, and other body systems. The number of calories needed for BMR is relatively fixed, but the extra calories for other activities that are different, depending on their physical activity. 

"If little activity, less exercise, for example, needs just calories BMR plus 30 percent. While someone is actively engaged caloric needs can reach the BMR plus 40 to 50 percent," said the owner of the Lighthouse clinic. 

Grace explained, so that the body can burn more calories with optimal, then an increase in physical activity needs to be done. But other than that, in fact one can also increase BMR, ie by increasing the muscle mass of the body. 

Muscular body, he explained, requires more energy so generally people with more muscle mass also have a higher BMR. "How can increase muscle mass with strength training or lifting weights," he explained.
