Overweight and unsuccessful attempts to lose weight speak of metabolic disorders and slow metabolism.
Metabolism is called “slow” when the body inefficiently disposes of the received calories from food. Instead of spending it on energy production to support the immune system, tissue regeneration processes and his stamina, or on cognitive functions, he prefers to store them in the form of fat. Therefore, very often a characteristic sign of such a metabolic disorder is fullness.
Also, other signs point to a too slow metabolism, writes Fit for Fun magazine.
Constantly cold. Freezing hands and feet even at normal temperatures are one of the warning signs of a problem. With a slow metabolism, circulation processes are weakened, especially in the peripheral areas of the body.
Dry skin. If the skin seems especially rough, flaky and dry (even despite care), this may also be due to with metabolism.
Hair falling out. Due to sluggish circulation in people with a slow metabolism, the scalp and therefore the hair receives less nutrients. The result may be their loss and brittleness.
Increased fatigue. When the metabolism is slowed down, a feeling of fatigue, exhaustion can occur already in the morning after waking up from sleep.
What is metabolism and which is better: fast or slow?
“A classic sign of impaired metabolism is a strong daily decline, loss of strength, exhaustion, felt at about 2-3 pm.”
Why does metabolism slow down? Scientists state that it is closely related to the individual characteristics of the body and may be hereditary. But also lifestyle features affect metabolism – for example, an unbalanced diet that creates a deficiency of nutrients (protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements). Poor or insufficient sleep, too much stress, lack of normal rest and extremely low level of physical activity can also lead to metabolic disorders.
