Metabolism - a basic property of any living organism, it consists of a variety of biochemical processes, which can be divided into two major groups: processes of assimilation, that is, absorption of nutrients and processes dissimilation - the disintegration of the body.

How does the metabolism

Normally, there should be a balance between the processes of assimilation and dissimilation. But in some cases this balance is not. If the processes of assimilation dominated, then the person recovers and dissimilation - losing weight.

Metabolism is regulated by the central nervous system. The center is the regulation of metabolism in the hypothalamus - a brain regions. One part of the hypothalamus regulates the rate of production of energy, and the other - the construction, reconstruction and memory functions of metabolism. Accordingly, if the tone of the part where there is a degree of energy, then the person loses weight, and by increasing the tone of accumulation and replacement parts - better.

Under the influence of external (poor diet, sedentary lifestyle) or internal (eg, hormonal changes, various diseases) factors of the metabolic processes can both accelerate and decelerate. This slowing of metabolic processes leads to such diseases as obesity.

How to restore the metabolism

To restore metabolic there are many ways. Fast metabolism is often associated with an increase in thyroid function and require medical treatment. But slowing metabolism person can overcome their own, but, of course, under the supervision of a physician.

In order to speed up the metabolism, you need to:

• sufficient to combine exercise with a good rest, especially at night; It proved that if a person is enough sleep, his metabolism is slowing down;
• to be outdoors as much as possible - it stimulates the metabolic processes;
• avoid stress and too high neuropsychiatric loads - they adversely affect the condition of the central nervous system, and thus on the metabolism; as you know, many people are "jammed" stress technique tasty, but not always useful food that contributes to the formation of obesity.
