    Dr. Jen Gunter gives a TED talk where she discusses whether exercise can boost metabolism. She explains that metabolism is the process by which our bodies convert food into energy. While exercise does increase calorie burning during and after a workout, it does not significantly increase our basal metabolic rate. Our metabolism is primarily determined by genetic factors like body composition and age rather than exercise habits.

    Summary:
    The author wants to introduce human metabolism mechanisms. Firstly, Dr Gunter explains
    what metabolism is, using a very simple definition. An explanation is supported by clear
    animations, which show examples of metabolism components in our body. Dr Gunter
    concludes that most of our calorie requirement is taken by our base metabolic processes like
    a heart beating, thinking and breathing. The author also demystifies the correlation between
    slow metabolism and fat people. The speed of our metabolism is defined by genetics,
    changing a few times during our life. It can’t be changed by extra exercises, so all the special
    tricks presented on TV are nothing more than just a marketing speech.
