Metabolism out of balance: what to do when the body's engine stalls?
Metabolic problems affect many people - whether due to genetic predisposition or external influences such as diet and lifestyle. An efficiently functioning metabolism is crucial for energy production, the breakdown of nutrients and general health. But what happens when the metabolism gets out of balance?
The most common metabolic diseases - and what lies behind them
Insulin resistance and diabetes
When the body reacts less sensitively to insulin, this leads to increased blood sugar levels. This insulin resistance is often the first step towards type 2 diabetes - one of the most frequently diagnosed metabolic disorders worldwide.
Hypothyroidism
If the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, the metabolism slows down. Those affected complain of constant tiredness, weight gain and sensitivity to cold. This is a particularly common diagnosis in women over 40.
Fat metabolism disorders
High cholesterol levels or triglycerides in the blood can indicate impaired fat processing. This metabolic disorder increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which greatly impairs general well-being.
How to get your metabolism going
-Healthy diet: Eat plenty of fruit, vegetables and fiber. A well-functioning metabolism needs the right nutrients to work optimally.
-Regular exercise: Staying active boosts the metabolism. Endurance sports in particular, such as running or swimming, increase fat burning and provide more energy.
-Hydration: Drink enough water! Dehydration can slow down the metabolism and impair the body's ability to absorb nutrients.
Less stress, better metabolism
Chronic stress has a direct effect on the metabolism. When the body is constantly on alert, it overproduces the hormone cortisol, which inhibits fat burning and can lead to weight gain. Techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises can help to reduce stress levels and relieve the metabolism.
