*Good evening beautiful people.*
Today’s topic is about metabolism.
*Understanding Metabolism as We Grow*
By Nature’s Pharmacy — Patricia Kasumba
I know you’ve seen the word “Metabolism” written on some of our herbal products — like fat burner teas, weight loss drops, or colon cleanses — and wondered:
*“What does that really mean?”*
And I also know many of you are using weight loss products and feel like they are not working fast enough, or your results come and go…
Don’t worry — in small, simple bites, I’ll break it down for you in today’s topic.
🌱 *What is Metabolism?*
Metabolism is the process your body uses to convert food into energy.
It affects how fast you burn calories, how you store fat, and how much energy you feel daily.
🔥 *Types of Metabolism*
*Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):*
The energy your body uses at rest — to breathe, repair cells, pump your heart.
*Active Metabolism:*
Energy burned through movement — walking, exercising, daily activity.
*Thermic Effect of Food:*
Energy used to digest and process what you eat.
🕰️ *What Slows Down Metabolism?*
💫Age (slows from 30+ onward)
💫Hormonal imbalance
💫Low muscle mass
💫Lack of movement
💫Poor sleep
💫Stress (yes, it slows fat burning)
💫Skipping meals or crash dieting
💫Low thyroid function
⚠️ *Dangers of a Slow Metabolism*
✨Weight gain or slow weight loss
✨Low energy
✨Poor digestion
✨Mood changes
✨Inflammation
✨Hormonal imbalance
✨Toxin buildup
⚡ *DANGERS OF FAST METABOLISM*
(Some people burn energy too quickly)
🤔Hard to gain weight
🤔Always hungry
🤔Nutrient deficiencies
🤔Feeling shaky or anxious
🤔Irregular cycles (women)
🌿 *Herbs That Support a Healthy Metabolism*
Ginger — stimulates digestion & heat
Cayenne — increases calorie burn
Green Tea — supports fat metabolism
Ashwagandha — balances stress hormones
Moringa — nourishes thyroid & cells
Cinnamon — balances blood sugar
Turmeric — lowers inflammation
Dandelion Root — supports liver detox
Ginseng — boosts vitality & energy
🌍 *Lifestyle Tips to Boost Your Metabolism*
⚡️Add strength-building movement (muscle burns fat)
⚡️Stay hydrated — metabolism slows when dehydrated
⚡️Eat enough protein.
⚡️Sleep 7–9 hours
⚡️Avoid processed foods
⚡️Don't skip meals
⚡️Walk daily
⚡️Reduce sugar
⚡️Support your stress levels with herbs, breathing, prayer, meditation.
🧿 Remember: Your Body Isn’t Stuck — It’s Asking for Balance
You may think nothing’s working — but once the metabolism is supported,your body begins to respond.
With herbal support, whole foods & a nourished lifestyle,your body can return to its natural rhythm of energy and healthy weight.
