The physical and chemical processes that maintain a life are called, collectively, its "metabolism." A flow of energy is required to run the metabolism of any organism, and the basic energy source for
all birds is the sun. Green plants "capture" the sun's energy in the process of photosynthesis, and birds then acquire it by eating plants or by eating other animals that eat plants. The energy is us
ed to do the work of building tissues, contracting muscles, manufacturing eggs, processing information in the brain, and powering all the other activities of a living bird

How does Human Metabolism Work?- Physical activity
The amount of energy the body burns during daily activities such as exercise, recreation, work, housework, etc. Daily physical activities accoun
t for 20 - 40% of calories burned each day. This part will vary depending on the individual and how active they are each day. A sedentary person will require less calories to maintain weight than a bu
sy worker in a construction site!

An increase metabolism provides many benefits to help maintain continuous and permanent weight loss:
-less exercise would be needed - giving you more time
-less effort if you did exercise - no n
eed to try burning lots of calories during each session!
-less chance of weight regain later
-still enjoy some favorite foods - no need to be as strict on the diet
-less time spent preparing
low / non fat recipes and meals
-save money from not needing to buy all the expensive low fat varieties
-more chance majority of weight loss is fat rather than water

The 5 things you need to know about Basal Metabolic Rate (Metabolism)
-(1) The higher your BMR, the easier it is to lose weight
-(2) Your Basal Metabolic Rate decreases when you go on a diet wh
ich has fewer calories than your normal diet
-(3) Your BMR increases in response to increased physical activity
-(4) Exercise is the ONLY effective way to increase your BMR
-(5) Obesity is no
t caused by a slow BMR

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
-In order to compare one person's metabolism with another's, scientists have devised a new buzz word - basal metabolic rate (BMR). Your BMR is the rate at which you use u
p energy when at rest - e.g. when you are sleeping or just lying in bed. You might call it your tick over speed.
- The more you weigh the higher your BMR will be. The metabolic rate of very fat wom
en is 25% higher than that of thin women.
- BMR is much greater in childhood than in adulthood. After the age of about 20, it drops about 2 per cent, per decade.
- People whose bodies contai
n a higher proportion of muscle to fat, tend to have a higher BMR than those with lower muscular proportions - all other things being equal.

Increasing the metabolism is the fastest way to permanent weight loss, a lowered metabolism is very often the reason weight loss progress grinds to a sudden halt. When weight loss slows a dieter may r
educe food intake further, however progress is still slow because a net loss of protein continues to lower the metabolism.
