Comments and insights on the name Merit: | Edit. Merit is more commonly seen as a male name, but it fits the pattern of virtue names that are traditionally female (e.g. Hope, Faith, Charity). My daughter (b. 2009) has this as a middle name. Merit is my first name.
Thermogenics are a popular class of dietary supplements commonly used in weight loss programs. By definition, a thermogenic increases metabolic rate by slightly raising body temperature.
Thermogenic foods, or those that have warming properties, may be just what you need to switch your internal thermostat to a higher setting. As you eat, your body burns calories to digest the food, and this creates heat. The final result is you get a temporary boost in body temperature.
