Busting Metabolism Myths: What You Need to Know
Description
In this episode of the trainwell podcast, hosts Joey Maestas and Darian Healy delve into the topic of metabolism, addressing common myths and misconceptions. They discuss how metabolism works, the impact of meal frequency, the effects of aging, and the role of exercise in caloric burn. The conversation emphasizes the importance of building muscle, staying active throughout the day, and managing sleep and stress to effectively boost metabolism.
Takeaways:
- People in larger bodies often have a higher metabolic rate.
- Eating less can actually slow down metabolism.
- Meal frequency does not significantly impact metabolic rate.
- Certain foods have a minimal thermogenic effect on metabolism.
- Metabolism does not inherently slow down with age.
- Reduced activity and muscle mass contribute to metabolic decline with age.
- Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) accounts for a significant portion of daily caloric burn.
- Building muscle is crucial for increasing metabolic rate.
- Staying active throughout the day is essential for metabolism.
- Sleep and stress management are key factors in metabolic health.
