Understanding Metabolic Health
Metabolic health refers to the state of optimal functioning of the body's metabolic processes, which involve various biochemical reactions occurring within cells.
Good metabolic health can positively impact your energy levels, ability to maintain a healthy weight, and lower the risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
Key Components:
- Metabolism: Encompasses all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms to maintain life.
- Hormonal Balance: The harmony of hormones like insulin and glucagon is crucial.
- Nutrition: A varied, balanced diet supports all aspects of metabolic health.
