Basal metabolism refers to the total number of calories all the cells in the body need to stay alive and functioning. "Your resting metabolic rate is typically described as the total number of calories your body needs while at rest. This is made up of basic functions like supporting your vital organs, muscle and fat tissue and the energy that is required to break down food we eat," said Martin Binks, director of the Nutrition & Metabolic Health Initiative at Texas Tech University.
And keep moving, even if it means getting out of your chair every 30 minutes and doing a yoga stretch or taking a walk around the office. It all counts, which is pretty neat! Lisa Drayer is a nutritionist, an author and a CNN health and nutrition contributor.
