Improve metabolism through diet

 

It is necessary to follow a proper diet along with right amount of exercise to maintain good health, but there are few who might feel less energetic or have some food cravings throughout the day even thought they might be following a balanced organic diet. This is because they might be having wrong diet for their body type. The metabolic typing is based on the idea that metabolic activity of the body of each person is different and one’s health would improve if one would follow diet that would be right for their metabolism.  Metabolism is the amount of calories one’s body needs to maintain it, metabolism effects body’s configuration, lower the metabolism rate, more the accumulated fat in the body; hence it important to increase the metabolic rate of the body, following diet based on one’s metabolic type is a way to do so.

Each person is different; some may feel energetic while having diet full of protein while others may not, with knowing one right metabolic typing, one can choose to eat certain foods that might be right for their body type and help lead a healthier life. Metabolic type of a person is determined using a questionnaire or by hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). There are three types- carbohydrates, protein and mixed. The carbohydrate types would feel more energetic when majority of their diet consists of carbohydrates, the protein type would feel more energetic when majority of their diet is protein based diet, and the mixed types need both protein and carbohydrates in equal proportions in their diet. One needs take appropriate proportions of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals according to their type, as body needs a balanced amount of nutrients to perform its metabolic activities.

It is also important to note the order of consuming the meal, for example, a person with carb typing should consume carbohydrates first than consume rest of the meal, as this would improve digestion and also metabolism of the person. Following the metabolic diet will help a person reduce some extra amount of fat in the body.  This type of diet will help maintain right body pH and thus boosting the metabolic activity of the body, thus reducing food cravings. This type of diet might also improve a person’s health reducing the future risks of cardiac diseases, obesity and help boost energy levels of a person.
