Fat Oxidation Rate Adjustment

Meaning

Fat Oxidation Rate Adjustment is the metabolic process of intentionally modulating the speed and efficiency at which the body utilizes stored triglycerides (fat) as its primary energy substrate. This adjustment is a crucial element of metabolic flexibility, allowing the body to seamlessly switch between burning carbohydrates and burning fat for fuel. Clinically, optimizing this rate is essential for improving body composition, enhancing endurance performance, and promoting insulin sensitivity. A higher, more flexible fat oxidation rate signifies superior metabolic health.
