Adventist Medical Center Bacolod
Adventist Medical Center-Bacolod (formerly Bacolod Sanitarium and Hospital) is a private tertiary hospital located in the southern heart of the city of Bacolod, in Negros Occidental, Philippines. Granted as a 170-bed capacity of the Department of Health, it rose from its humble beginnings in December 8, 1966. It envisions to become “the premier center of healthcare in the Negros Province,” as it delivers its mission of “Extending the healing ministry of Christ to everyone. “
Adventist Medical Center Manila
As you step into Adventist Medical Center Manila, you become a part of its 85 years of caring experience. Travel back to sometime in July 1929, and imagine yourself standing at the corner of Vermont St. (now Julio Nakpil St.) and Indiana St. in Malate, Manila. You see a ten - bed clinic - that was how AdventistMed looked like when it started; and was fondly remembered throughout the years by its old name - Manila Sanitarium and Hospital.

What is BMR? – BMR definition
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories that your body needs to perform its most basic functions. This includes breathing, circulation, and cell production . This is what you would normally refer to as your “metabolism”.
What is the difference between BMR and RMR?
BMR stands for basal metabolic rate, while RMR stands for resting metabolic rate. While these two seem similar, there are slight differences between them.
While BMR refers to the number of calories required for your body’s basic functions at rest, RMR measures the number of calories your body burns at rest.
How is basal metabolic rate (BMR) calculated?
One popular way to measuring the BMR is the Harris-Benedict formula, calculated using the following equation:
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 × weight in kg) + (1.8 × height in cm) – (4.7 × age in years)
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 × weight in kg) + (5 × height in cm) – (6.8 × age in years)

How are BMR and lean body mass related?
Studies show that the more lean body mass you have, the greater your BMR will be. Your lean body mass makes up part of your body composition – your body fat percentage versus lean tissue or non-fat mass.
To grow your metabolism, you need to improve your body composition – by increasing your lean body mass. This can be achieved by doing strength training and consuming more protein in your diet.
What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
If your BMR estimates your minimum calories for your body’s basal functions, Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) measures how many calories you burn each day, including physical activity.
Will calculating BMR help me lose weight?
Your basal metabolic rate is a starting point in determining your weight loss and nutrition goals. If you’re doing calorie counting, your BMR is needed to calculate your TDEE, so you can measure how many calories you need to consume to lose weight.
