✅ Did you know the difference between metabolism and metabolic health before today? Share with us!
If you’re like the majority, when you hear the word “metabolism”, you immediately think of how quickly and/or efficiently your body can burn fat; however, did you know that your metabolic health encompasses much more than just your metabolism? We’re going to talk about ways to improve both, but first, it’s important to understand these two terms and why they’re important. 💯
👉“Metabolism is the complex of chemical processes in your body that convert food into energy. These always-on processes keep your body alive and functioning, powering everything from breathing and digestion to cellular repair and brain activity. While metabolism includes how your body burns calories, it’s not just about weight—it’s the entire system that fuels and regulates how your body works.
👉Metabolic health refers to how well those metabolic processes are working. It’s typically measured by indicators like blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference. Good metabolic health means your body is efficiently managing energy and maintaining balance without needing medical intervention.”
In short, your metabolism consists of processes that keep your body alive and functioning. Metabolic health determines how well the processes work. Both are important when it comes to your body’s ability to burn fat and your overall health. 👌
