Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to function at rest. This accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of calories burned in a day and includes the energy required to keep the heart beating, the lungs breathing, the eyelids blinking and the body temperature stabilized.
Vasco Da Gama Found a route from Portugal east to India by going around the Cape of Good Hope, the southern tip of Africa. He set up trade in India and eventually became the Portuguese Viceroy in India.
By the time of Prince Henrys death in 1460, the Portuguese had gone as far as present day Sierra Leone. After Henrys death, the Portuguese continued searching for a way around Africa to Asia. It wouldnt be until 28 years after the death of Prince Henry that Vasco de Gama made it to India by sailing around Africa.
