Basal metabolism refers to the energy metabolism that maintains the most basic life activities of the human body, which is mainly affected by gender, age, height, weight and health status. Basal metabolism refers to the minimum energy metabolism that maintains the heartbeat and respiration at room temperature of 18~25℃, in a fasting state, lying down, awake and quiet, and without mood swings. Basal metabolism is generally higher in men than in women, and in children than in adults. In addition, as we age, our basal metabolism decreases. Exercise, diet, and changes in the surrounding environment all affect the body’s metabolism, and changes in the body’s endocrine function can also affect changes in the body’s metabolism. If your basal metabolism is abnormal, you should seek medical attention to avoid delaying your condition.
