JAKARTA - Many people do not realize that the body's slowing metabolism can cause various disorders in the body. The slowing process of energy burning makes weight easier to rise and difficult to control, while fatigue appears faster because the body is unable to produce energy efficiently.

Metabolatic imbalance can also affect the stability of blood sugar, so that a person often feels hungry quickly, wants sweet foods, or experiences sudden decrease in energy.

On the other hand, digestive health can be disturbed to cause symptoms of a bloating stomach to constipation because the digestive system does not work optimally. The mood of the heart is easily changed due to unbalanced hormones, making a person more prone to anxiety and difficult to focus. This condition of course raises various serious problems, especially if it is not treated immediately.

According to Dr. Luigi Gratton, Vice President, Office of Health and Wellness and Chair, Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board, one thing that needs to be fixed on metabolic problems is related to a daily lifestyle.

"Metabolism is not smooth, usually triggered by an unhealthy lifestyle. For this reason, simple steps such as improving eating patterns, adding physical activity, and ensuring good quality sleep can be an effective starting point," he explained.

Fortunately, a minor intentional change in everyday habits starting from nutrition, movement, and rest can have a significant impact.

"Consistently providing high-quality fuel in the form of nutrient-intensive foods, moving regularly, and prioritizing quality sleep, you can recover the body's natural metabolic flexibility and support long-term health," says Dr. Luigi.

Here are the main steps that can help improve metabolism as Dr. Luigi said.

Proper nutritional intake

Nutrient intake plays a major role in maintaining metabolic stability. Proper diets can help regulate blood sugar levels, hormone functions, fat metabolism, to digestive health.

Prioritize fat-free protein to help build muscle mass, which plays a role in increasing metabolism during rest. Fiber from fruit, vegetables, and seeds will maintain the health of the intestines and a longer feeling of saturation. botanical compounds such as polyphenols in oranges or capsicums in chilies also support metabolic functions.

A balanced diet does not mean that it must be very strict. The most important thing is consistency in choosing nutritious foods.

Active move

Physical activity is an important trigger for healthy metabolism. By moving regularly, the body becomes more sensitive to insulin, energy is more stable, and muscle mass is more awake.

It doesn't have to be a tough sport; walking fast, stretching, or other simple activities that are carried out routinely every day have a positive impact. The more active it is from an early age, the better the body's ability to maintain optimal metabolism in the future.

Optimize sleep quality

Quality sleep is a key that is often overlooked in maintaining metabolism. At night, the body improves the metabolic system, balances hormones, and regulates hunger and saturation.

Adequate sleep helps stabilize insulin, lower cortisol levels, and maintain an equilibration of the hormone ghrelin and leptin. Simple habits such as limiting devices before bed, having a fixed sleep hour, and creating a calming night's routine can improve sleep quality significantly.
