But what exactly is “metabolism?”
A Few Words
About Metabolism
Metabolism
is the series of complex chemical reactions in your body’s cells that change
food you consume into energy. There are specific proteins in your body that
control these thousands of reactions, all happening at the same time. These
reactions keep your cells healthy and working.
The
metabolism process starts when you eat
food, and the digestive system starts processing it with enzymes. These
enzymes break proteins down into amino acids, they turn fats into fatty acids,
and they turn carbohydrates into simple sugars. These compounds are now in a
form that the body can use as sources of energy it needs. They are absorbed
into the blood which then carries them to your cells. In the cells, more
enzymes regulate the speed by which further chemical reactions take place.
This causes
energy to be released for your body to use, or for the compounds to be stored
in body tissues. The process supports the growth of new cells, storage of
energy or creating fat.
Metabolism
is complicated, and most people relate to it simply in terms of their body
either gaining or losing weight. If an excess of calories, units of energy
potential, are consumed, the wasted portion that is not burned as energy then
turns to fat. Burning calories has to do with how much exercise you do, how
much muscle and fat is in your body and your “basal metabolic rate.” (BMR)
Your BMR is
a key component in gaining or losing weight. It is the measure of how much
energy you burn while your body is at rest. Improving your metabolism helps
increase your BMR.
9 Tips To
Boost Your Metabolism & Burn Calories
Here are some
key ideas to help rev up your metabolism and burn your calories instead of
allowing them to turn to fat:
1. Get NAD+ injections Las Vegas
Take advantage of Sculpt Spa’s nicotinamide
adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) service. These injections boost your cellular
metabolism, increase your energy and improve neurologic function as they
support brain regeneration. Not only is your metabolism boosted, but your
mental clarity is improved as well. Mitochondria, or mechanisms within our
cells that convert food and oxygen into energy, depend on NAD+
to perform their job. As NAD+ levels decline, so does mitochondrial function.
By maintaining our NAD+ levels, we give our body the resources to perform
better so that we can look, feel, and be healthier.
2. Enjoy Sculpt Spa and Las Vegas infrared sauna
Studies show that
you can passively burn up to 600 calories per infrared sauna session by
mimicking cardiovascular exercise.
3. Get vitamin B12-based injections
Come to Sculpt Spa for B12
injections in Las Vegas! Two specific offerings can enhance your metabolism
specifically. Our Booster injection
of B12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis,
cell metabolism, nerve function, and hormone balance. Our Lean injection
combines B12 with MIC and L-Carnitine. Along with the benefits of B12, MIC and
L-Carnitine help convert fat into energy, aiding in weight loss.
4. Build your muscles
Your BMR is higher
if you have more muscle. Every pound of muscle burns about three times more
calories when resting than each pound of fat. The more activated your muscles
have been, the more your metabolic rate raises.
5. Water up
Water and “burning”
do not seem compatible, but in terms of metabolism, they are. Your body’s
metabolism needs water to process calories. The more dehydrated you are, the slower
your metabolism can become. Studies have shown that people who drank
eight or more glasses of water daily burned more calories than those who
drank only four or less.
6. Energy drinks can work but at a price
It is not
recommended that you boost your metabolism with energy drinks. True, they are
full of caffeine and some amino acids specifically geared to speeding your
metabolism, but they have also been shown to cause sleep issues, high blood
pressure and anxiety.
7. Avoid a crash diet
Logic may seem to
say “immediately cut the calories” to lose weight. While you may have some
initial loss of pounds, you likely will lose those pounds in muscle, which then
slows your metabolism.
8. Power up with protein
Replace some of the carbs and fats in your diet with protein.
Your body burns many more calories digesting
protein than it does fat or carbohydrates.
9. Spice things up
There are natural
chemicals in spicy food that can kick your metabolism into a higher gear.
Chopped red or green chili peppers can burn more than your tongue, they can
boost your metabolic rate and burn your calories as well.
Sculpt Spa Las Vegas is interested in your
holistic wellness, fitness, and body image. Several of our services integrate
an improved metabolism into other benefits that affect you in more complex ways
that simple weight loss.

injections, for example, support the ability of multiple systems within the
body to function. This treatment offers benefits for everyone. The full
benefits include simply being healthier, feeling more energized, improving
cognitive function, boosting your mood, fighting signs of aging, or enhancing
