What is metabolism?

most Likely, everyone heard about the "metabolism" and probably has an idea what it is. Scientifically this process is called "metabolism" (this word comes from the Greek word "metabole", which translates as “preframe­nie”, “change”). More details about metabolism, visit the website .

Metabolism – this is nothing but a process Perera­processing sedenii food. This process includes 2-VA other interrelated processes, namely: anabolism (that is, the synthesis of nucleic acids, lipids and proteins that are needed for about­education tissues and cells directly from the absorption of energy) and catabolism (i.e., decay of more complex substances into simpler directly with the release of energy). With all this, the number of incoming energy from food must match the amount of energy that is spent –any imbalance in 1 well or 2nd side causes health problems and, in particular, with weight.

Today almost no problems with consumption of energy: the modern man, like his ancient ancestors, not to hunt animals to get meat and not grow wheat in order to bake your own bread – today enough to go to the supermarket and buy favorite products, the choice of which is very huge. Directly from the chosen people of products also depends on his metabolism – flavor enhancers, fast food, del­cuts are significantly increasing the calorie content of the diet. In addition, unlike the ancestors, the person moves much less. Therefore, to eat a lot of calories and then they don't spend today is quite simple, turn of unspent calories, the human body converts into fat, which "decorates" our body parts.

types of metabolism

There are 3 type of metabolism:

• the main (base),
• digestive;
• active.

Primary metabolism provides the normal course of various chemical. processes (biochemical processes in cells, fat metabolism, protein synthesis), and mechanical work glandular secretory apparatus, the respiratory muscles, the heart, blood vessels, intestines and other organs.

Digestive metabolism gives the food a possibility to digest.

calorie Consumption directly depends on their behaviour, physical activity and lifestyle. So, active, agile and hectic, people often consume more calories, i.e., have a “quick” active metabolism.
