Low basal metabolic rate, if caused by diseases such as hypothyroidism, requires treatment of the primary disease, such as taking levothyroxine sodium tablets to treat hypothyroidism, and can be adjusted by diet and exercise if it is caused by a poor lifestyle such as improper diet or lack of exercise. If the basal metabolic rate is low due to certain underlying diseases, especially endocrine diseases, such as hypoadrenocorticism, hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism, the primary disease must be actively treated before it can be corrected. Commonly, such as hypothyroidism, it should be treated with levothyroxine sodium tablets under the supervision of a physician. If the low basal metabolic rate is caused by excessive dieting, starvation and malnutrition, the diet should be changed to include more high-protein foods and nutrient-rich foods. People who lack exercise in general also have a low basal metabolic rate, which can be effectively increased by strengthening exercise, especially aerobic exercise. People with low basal metabolic rate need to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying their condition.
