How exercise affects your metabolism

Exercising can affect your metabolism in so many ways and with the appropriate diet you will be losing fat just doing nothing yes nothing if this sounds interesting then let's hop into it.

Doing cardio and/or endurance exercises impacts metabolic hormones differently to strength or resistance training with weights or body weight.

A significant finding says that endurance exercise increase a metabolic hormone called fibroblast growth factor 21, whereas strength training decreases another hormone called fibroblast growth factor 19.

The effects of various forms of exercise on better known hormones like insuline and adrenaline.

The new insights from the study which features in the journal of Clinical Investigation confirmed that "strength training and cardio exercise affect FGF hormones differently."

Metabolic and exercise

Metabolism changes over the lifespan. As we get older our metabolism decreases, we burn fewer calories and our digestion alters. We also lose muscle mass unless we take a good care of our diet and exercise regularly and gain healthy weight.

To protect against this, experts advice us to follow some guidelines on what are the healthy food to eat in a diet and to remain physically active. It is advised to combine muscle strength training and endurance exercises.

Different effects on metabolism hormones

The effect of cardio on FGF21 was so marked and it increases after strength training and this hormone helps regulating metabolism, cell growth, embryonic development, tissue repair and tumor formation. FGF21 is produced in several organs and is active in weight loss, glucoses contrôle, and reducing inflammation. FGF19, which is produced in the gut as a hormone helps regulate bile acid production and metabolism of glucose and lipids. It can aid weight loss, reduce fats and glucose levels in the liver, and improve use of insuline.
