WHY IS MY METABOLISM NOT WORKING?
Cracking the Metabolism Code:
Understand Your Body's Powerhouse
The metabolism is the chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy. However, there are some points for certain people where people may feel their metabolism isn’t working properly.
A slower metabolic rate means less energy for your body to use, so it's important to take steps to maintain a healthy one through diet and exercise. Today, we'll cover what factors affect your metabolism, as well as some simple ways to rev up yours!
There are many reasons why your metabolism can slow down, but one of the most common is stress. Stress causes cortisol release, which blocks the production of thyroid hormone that helps regulate metabolism. So if you're feeling stressed out or not sleeping well, it's time to take a look at what's going on in your life and figure out how to manage it so that your body can stay healthy and fit!
We live in a fast-paced world where stress is an inevitable part of life. The more we push ourselves, the bigger our to-do lists get, and it seems like there's never enough time to finish everything on them.
Stress can be harmful to both our mental and physical health, so here are some tips for lowering stress levels:
Take care of yourself in a holistic manner
Make sure you're eating well, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and taking breaks throughout the day.
It's important to take care of your body as much as possible because this will help lower your stress levels by strengthening your immune system.
Remember that it's okay not to do everything - try delegating tasks or asking for help when you need it (even if you think you don’t need it—you probably do and just don’t want to ask for help.)
Getting a good night's sleep is also necessary for your health and wellness.
Not getting enough sleep can lead to weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Getting enough restful sleep will help you stay alert throughout the day and boost your immune system by helping to fight off viruses like colds and flu.
If you want to get better quality of sleep, it's important that you know what affects the quality of your sleeping pattern, such as lighting, the noise level in the room, or if there is anything else that might be causing discomfort in the bedroom. You may also want to look into practicing mindfulness and journaling before bed and maybe even some deep breathing exercises.
