Basal metabolism is the normal physiological activity of the human body, mainly the exchange of matter and energy between the human body and the external natural environment, the self-upgrading and replacement process of matter and kinetic energy within plants, all of which are called basal metabolism. Basal metabolism can be divided into material metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. Basal metabolism can obtain nutrients from the external peripheral environment, provide energy for life activities, and sufficient energy can enable the growth and development of the body and all normal physiological activities to be in a normal state. Basal metabolism can carry out metabolism of waste generated after eating, which is a process of renewal and replacement, and can have a cleaning effect on the gastrointestinal tract, and both the skin and cells have the process of basal metabolism.

Basal metabolism includes material metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. Material metabolism refers to the exchange of matter between the plant and the external natural environment and the change process of matter within the plant, while oxidative phosphorylation refers to the exchange of energy between the plant and the external natural environment and the change process of energy within the plant. Both are interrelated and coupled reactions. For example, when there is an excess intake of energy after eating, the generation of body fat increases; while during fasting, fat is encouraged to release energy for the body to use. [2]

(1) Material Metabolism

The dissolution of old substances and the generation of new substances in plants occur simultaneously. The metabolic changes of all substances in plants are collectively referred to as material metabolism, which includes anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism refers to the synthesis of all substances in plants, which belongs to the scope of assimilation, such as the generation of proteins from carbohydrates, the generation of polypeptide chains from nucleotides; catabolism refers to the decomposition of all substances in plants, which belongs to the scope of heterolysis, such as the complete decomposition of glycogen substances into carbon dioxide and water through the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Oxidative phosphorylation refers to the exchange of energy during the process of material exchange. While the body synthesizes metabolism and absorbs nutrients from the external natural environment, it also absorbs energy from the external environment, which mainly comes from the mechanical energy contained in nutrients. When these nutrients are metabolized within the body, mechanical energy is released again to meet the needs of life activities. In addition to being used to synthesize other components of the body, mechanical energy is also used for various life activities. However, not all mechanical energy can be converted into workable energy, and inevitably, some is inevitably released as heat, becoming heat release (q). The kinetic energy used for work is called activation energy (∆F), and the total kinetic energy changed is called the chemical equilibrium constant (∆H). According to the law of conservation of energy, the chemical equilibrium constant is equal to the sum of the changed activation energy and the released heat, that is, ∆H=∆F+q

Blood Metabolism

Metabolism refers to the minimum kinetic energy required for all human organs to maintain life. That is, when the body is kept清醒 and extremely tranquil, it will not be affected by muscle activity, working temperature, food, and tension and anxiety, and it needs the minimum oxidative phosphorylation status to maintain basic life activities such as heart rate and breathing. In order to indicate the different levels of oxidative phosphorylation in different individuals, the amount of heat released by the body per hour per square meter of body surface area, that is, the basal metabolic rate, can be used. The basal metabolic rate changes with different physiological conditions such as gender and age; the basal metabolic rate of young men is higher than that of women; the basal metabolic rate of children is higher than that of adults; the older the age, the lower the basal metabolic rate. The daily metabolism of an average person is about 5900~7500kJ.
