Can I increase my BMR (basal metabolic rate)?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the number of calories your body burns to maintain its basic physiological functions while at rest. Increasing your BMR may help you burn more calories each day. Here are some helpful strategies to support your metabolism:

• Gain more muscle mass, as skeletal muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue
• Incorporate both aerobic (cardio) and anaerobic (strength training) exercises into your routine
• Incorporate High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) into your routine to elevate your heart rate and metabolism
• Stay hydrated, as dehydration can slow down your metabolism
• Include more protein in your diet to support skeletal muscle growth and enhance the thermic effect of food, which is higher in proteins than in fats and carbohydrates
• Ensure you are getting adequate rest as people who do not get enough sleep may have lower metabolic rates.
