In order to ensure the full function of all organs, the body depends on the external energy supply. A distinction is made between basic and service sales. Together it results Total sales, which also plays a role in reducing body weight.
What is the total sales?
The basal metabolic rate represents the energy that is required to supply all body structures with energy. This is initially used to maintain the function of organs. It is the basic energy to ensure the functions in the idle state. The performance turnover includes the demand that arises from physical exercise. This not only includes sport, but also every activity involving arms and legs. The total turnover consists of the basic turnover and the performance turnover.
Thus, it is about the daily energy necessary to maintain body functions and ensure all movements. The total turnover fluctuates due to various factors such as age and gender. On average, men consume more energy than women, although this differs from person to person, because they usually have a higher proportion of muscle. Age also plays a role. As life progresses, the human body needs less energy because muscle loss occurs. The cells also become more inactive.
In general, a higher total turnover can be observed in people with an above-average musculature. This is also noticeable outside of training and can therefore be helpful in the context of a planned weight reduction.
Function & task
The body needs energy not only during running or other activities, but in all activities. The various functions of the organs also run smoothly thanks to the added energy.
Important factors that influence the basal metabolic rate are also size and weight. Above all, the ratio of muscles and fat ultimately determines the level of the basal metabolic rate. The basal metabolic rate is measured within a constant environment in which there is no change in temperature.
Through the basal metabolic rate, important body processes can keep people alive. This includes, for example, breathing, metabolism, circulation and the regulation of body temperature. Only through the basal metabolic rate does the heart regularly pump blood through the veins and gas exchange in the lungs can take place.
If the energy supply is below the basal metabolic rate for a longer period of time, hunger metabolism occurs first. However, if more calories are not consumed, organs can be damaged or lose their function.
Any energy that has to be used for physical exertion is part of the output. This includes getting out of bed in the morning or tying your shoes. The performance turnover enables all movements. Accordingly, the measurement of the total turnover is used to indicate the necessary energy that the body needs on the one hand in the resting phase and on the other hand for physical activities.
Although tips can often be found in the diet industry which should increase the basal metabolic rate, scientists assume that the total metabolic rate can only be influenced by increasing muscle building. In order to reduce weight, the total amount of food ingested should contain less energy than the body needs for organs and movement. Accordingly, it is necessary either to switch to a lower-calorie diet or to exercise more overall. Those who consume more energy than what corresponds to total sales increase.
Children and adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 usually have the highest total sales. This is where the greatest physical changes take place, such as growth in size, which require more energy. It is similar with breastfeeding mothers. An additional energy intake of 600 calories per day is expected here.
Illnesses & ailments
Total sales can be disrupted. For example, some hormonal complaints lead to a significant reduction or increase in the basal metabolic rate. A thyroid disease is particularly common behind such a phenomenon. A distinction is made between over and underfunction. If the gland is underactive, there is often inflammation. In the further process, the body forms antibodies to kill the supposed intruders. Instead, however, the immune system turns against its own physical structures, parts of the thyroid gland die. When the thyroid gland does not have fully functional tissues, it produces fewer thyroid hormones that interfere with the metabolism. Underactive is manifested by weight gain, frequent freezing, hair loss and sleep disorders.
If the thyroid is overactive, it produces more hormones than is actually necessary. Those affected suffer from a very fast metabolism, increased sweating and a racing heart. However, both diseases can now be treated well. Often, taking tablets is enough.
In addition, overall sales may have been affected by PCO. PCO is noticeable in women and is primarily defined by an increased level of male hormones. In addition, those affected have irregular cycles and a lack of ovulation, which can result in unwanted childlessness.
Any unexplained increase or decrease in body weight should always be checked by a doctor. Sometimes the total turnover can be disturbed due to some complaints, which lead to further phenomena.
Complications
The total turnover itself usually does not lead to complications or complaints. It represents a common feature of the human body, which, even without special activity, needs energy so that all organs can function properly. However, complications can arise if total sales change for no particular reason.
An increased total turnover can lead to underweight if the person concerned does not consume enough food. Underweight is a very unhealthy condition for the body and, in the worst case, can damage various organs or even lead to death. Proper total turnover is also important for building muscles. If this is not achieved or is too low, these cannot be built up.
If the person concerned consumes more energy than he needs, this behavior usually leads to overweight and obesity. This condition is also very unhealthy and, in the worst case, can lead to a heart attack. Especially with children, parents must ensure that the total turnover is balanced so that there are no disruptions to development or growth.
