What is metabolism?
Metabolism
is the biochemical process of combining nutrients with oxygen to
release the energy our bodies need to
function.
Metabolism is typically
measured in kilocalories or, more commonly, calories. Total metabolic
rate represents the calories needed
for maintaining body functions,
daily activity (occupational and lifestyle), and the energy cost of
exercise or planned activity.
What is RMR?
Resting metabolic
rate (RMR) represents the calories the body burns to maintain vital
body functions (heart rate, brain function,
breathing). In simple
terms, it is the number of calories a person would burn if they were
awake, but at rest all day. RMR can
represent up to 75% of a person’s
total metabolism if they are inactive or lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Why is it necessary to measure RMR?
Since
RMR accounts for up to 75% of the total calories we need each day, it’s
a critical piece of information to appropriately
establish daily
calorie needs, whether we’re trying to lose or maintain weight. Most
healthcare and fitness professionals recognize
that metabolism is
impacted by a variety of characteristics such as fever, illness, high
fitness, obesity, active weight loss, etc.
When managing a client of
patient’s nutritional needs and calorie requirements, knowledge of RMR
is critically important.
Traditionally, healthcare professionals, who
have not had access to measurement technology, have relied on estimates
of RMR.
Because metabolism is different among individuals, estimated
can lead to errors, and inaccurate calorie budgets. As a result of
these estimates, individuals can be both over or under eating, and not
be successful in reaching their personal goals. As technology
advances,
professionals must reassess their practices. The most accurate
assessment of caloric needs is by measuring oxygen consumption and
determining individual metabolism. The BodyGem® and MedGem® devices by
Microlife are tools that will provide information vital for determining
a personalized calorie budget, based on individual metabolism,
necessary to achieve and maintain proper weight and nutrition.
Additionally, the BodyGem and MedGem devices play a significant role in
providing an individual’s daily caloric needs to improve individual
care through nutrition assessment.
