What is metabolism?
With the help of metabolism, the body absorbs food, nutrients and transforms them into energy. This recycled energy is needed by the cells.
A healthy metabolism means that the body creates and uses energy in an optimal way. With a healthy metabolism, the body efficiently digests and absorbs nutrients from food. When the metabolism is functioning properly, the dose of sugar and fat in the blood does not deviate from the recommended norm, the body is ready to fight the inflammatory process.
Through a healthy metabolism, the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cancer and other pathologies is significantly reduced.
A healthy metabolism means that the body is full of energy, therefore you spend the day actively.
The ability and rate of metabolic load depends on a person's age, level of physical activity, genetics and other factors.
