What is Metabolism?, Metabolism-Boosting Foods
Metabolism is a biochemical process through which calories consumed through foods and beverages combine with oxygen to supply energy to the body.

A high metabolic rate indicates more fat-burning, less fat storage and faster weight loss.

Even while you are physically inactive, the body needs energy for involuntary functions like blood circulation, digestion of food, respiration and excretion among others. Age, Height, Weight and Gender are four factors that influence metabolic rate. Body composition impacts metabolic rate. Higher fat percentage indicates lower metabolism whereas higher muscle mass denotes high metabolic rate.
