Metabolism

Metabolism refers to the complex chemical processes your body uses to convert food into energy. These processes are essential for maintaining vital functions such as breathing, circulation, digestion, and cell repair. Everyone’s metabolism is different and can be influenced by factors like age, genetics, hormone levels, muscle mass, and activity level. A well-functioning metabolism helps maintain a healthy weight, supports energy levels, and keeps bodily systems in balance. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid dysfunction, can disrupt this balance and require medical management to restore optimal health.
