BASAL METABOLIC RATE - BMR


••In this post we are going to talk about what is:

•Anabolism, 

•Catabolism, 

•What is Basal Metabolic Rate or what is your BMR, 

•Factors that increase BMR, 

•Factors that decrease BMR, 

•and finally how to count your BMR.


We talk about Anabolism when we talk about:

•Assimilation of nutrients or it's synthesis.

•It is the set of metabolic pathways that use ATD produced by catabolism to synthesize complex biomolecules cell and tissue construction.


When we talk about Catabolism we talk about:

•Degradation (destruction).

•Process of transforming energy which has been assimilated by the organism(provides energy)

•Release of energy by oxidation.

•ATP production.


••BMR represents the minimal work to ensure vital sanctions, hard breathing and brain temperature.

••BMR represents 50-70% of calorie expenditure per day.

••BMR decreases with age by 2% decade of age, that means we burn less and less.

• To make it more clearly, when we sleep at nigh the muscles practically don't work but the heart beats, the liver purifies the blood and makes reserves, the kidneys produce urine from the blood, the intestine work continues, we breathe that means our lungs are working and all these require energy and that is called BASAL METABOLISM.


FACTORS THAT INCREASE YOUR BMR:

✔Physical activity

✔Body building

✔Hypothyroidism

✔Split meals

✔Protein meals

✔Chili foods


FACTORS THAT DECREASE YOUR BMR:

✔Muscle loss

✔Aging 

✔Hypothyroidism

✔Sleep 

✔Sedentary life


••BMR represents the number of calories required to keep your body function and at rest.

*To get your BMR simply put your weight and height accordingly in the equation if you are male or female:

Proteins are the building blocks of the body, building blocks of muscles, hair, nails, skin,  hormones and enzymes. • Proteins are made of group of 20 amino acids: 12 - amino acids (Non essential) 8- amino acids (Essential) <<semi-essential>> arginine, taurine and histine. Proteins has: 1. Structural role                        2.Energetic role                        3.Functional role • Protein is key part of any diet and because protein is found an abundance of foods many people can easily meet this goal. However not all protein "packages" are created equal, because foods contain a lot more protein, it's importan

                                                                   MINERALS ✔   Most of the minerals are found in unlimited quantity in nature like in the water in rivers, in lakes, in oceans, they are found in many food like plants or in mineral water. There are twenty-two of total which makes 4% of our body mass.  They are classified into two categories. When it comes to minerals role to the metabolism: ✔ They play a key role in the constitution of bones and teeth. ✔  T hey contribute in the maintenance of cardiac rhythm, muscular contraction, the neural conductivity and acid base balance. ✔  Regulate metabolism, facilitate energy release. ✔  Controls the water balance (osmotic pressure). ✔  Supply of oxygen in the body cells. ✔   Catalyze many metabolic reactions. WE HAVE =>  MAJOR MINERALS (macro elements) => 7 •  Calcium (Ka) •  Magnesium (Mg) •  Sodium (Na) •  Chlorine (Cl) •  Potassium (K) •  Phosphorus (P) •  Sulfur (S) TRACE ELEMENTS (micro elements) => 15 •  Iron •
