Your metabolism is the set of biochemical reactions that convert food into usable energy. About 60\u201375 percent of your daily energy expenditure comes from basal metabolic rate (<\/strong>BMR<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 energy used simply to keep you alive. The rest comes from digestion (the thermic effect of food) and physical activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While small lifestyle tweaks can raise calorie expenditure slightly, no supplement or single food can dramatically change BMR<\/strong>. A 2024 review<\/a> in Nutrients<\/em> concluded that although dietary and exercise interventions can produce modest increases in energy expenditure, long-term metabolic rate is largely governed by lean body mass and overall energy balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, some nutrition and lifestyle choices can help your body use energy more efficiently \u2014 and your gut health plays a key role.<\/p>\n\n\n
