Can your breath tell your metabolism?

A simple breathing test called a metabolic rate analysis can provide a wealth of information about how efficiently your body converts what you eat into the energy necessary to function. The breathing test takes about 10 minutes, and you can't eat, exercise, or drink caffeine for at least four hours before the test.

For others, the test can provide clinical proof that the changes that they have made are having an effect. A client in her 50s joined The Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center’s weight loss program in February 2017. She had her metabolic rate analyzed in May and then participated in two more weight-loss programs at the Center. She had another analysis done in October and learned that her metabolic rate had indeed improved. She has lost 15 pounds and continues to exercise at CentraState’s Fitness & Wellness Center and fine-tune her diet to lose weight safely.

Three Facts About Your Metabolism

Contrary to common belief – and the internet – several widely accepted myths about boosting your metabolism are simply hot air. Here are the facts: Eating late at night does not slow down your metabolism. What late-night snacking can do, however, is lead to mindless overeating, which can add unnecessary calories. Chili peppers and green tea won’t provide a lasting boost to your metabolism. While these foods may provide a temporary boost, it’s not enough to counteract eating too many calories. A drastic low-calorie diet isn’t the key to weight loss. Research has shown that the body goes into survival mode when calorie intake drops suddenly. Your metabolism will slow down to conserve calories, having the opposite effect of what was intended.

Pump Iron to Boost the Burn

Genetics play a major role in how quickly our metabolism converts calories into energy. However, building lean muscle mass through activities like strength training will speed up your metabolic rate. As we age, we typically store more body fat and less muscle mass, but it’s possible for anybody at any age to counteract that trend through consistent, muscle-building activities. Metabolic rate testing is available at The Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center at CentraState Medical Center as part of the hospital’s Live Life Well program. The service is open to anyone in the community.

Green tea is often associated with health, and for good reason.

Not only is it packed with beneficial antioxidants and other powerful nutrients, it’s also one of the most effective drinks for weight loss. Drinking green tea has been shown to decrease body weight and body fat in several studies. A review of 14 studies found that people who drank high-concentration green tea for 12 weeks lost an average of 0.44 to 7.7 pounds (0.2 to 3.5 kg) more than those who did not drink green tea ( 1 ). It should be noted that this benefit is linked to green tea preparations that contain high amounts of catechins, antioxidants that may increase fat burning and boost metabolism ( 2 ). Matcha is a type of green tea that contains a higher amount of catechins than loose leaf green tea, which makes it a good choice for weight loss ( 3 ). One study found that women who consumed 3 grams of matcha per day experienced greater fat burning during exercise compared to women who did not drink matcha ( 4 ). Plus, green tea contains caffeine, which can help promote weight loss by boosting energy levels and improving performance while exercising ( 5 , 6 ). What’s more, people who drink green tea tend to have lower blood pressure and a lower risk of developing diseases such as heart disease, certain cancers and diabetes ( 6 ). Summary Drinking green tea may help you lose weight by boosting metabolism and encouraging fat loss.
