THE METABOLIC PROCESSES IN THE BODY

Why some of us are fat and some are not? What causes it? Why our belly was easily expand gaining weight to restrict easy movement? The change in the condition of our body has something to do with metabolism that governed the kind of shape we have and the existing health condition we are experiencing. Sugar is carbohydrates. All foods that are rich in carbohydrates or protein is converted into energy.

Speeding up the metabolic process depends on the kind of food we take. Low fat food is less harmful compared to foods that were heavy laden with saturated fat. But they both give changes to a shape that we want to avoid but hesitant to make alteration in our own dietary plan.

Many of us are trying to regain control what has been lost in the normal condition of the body. They initiated certain kind of physical exercise for the purpose of losing weight but the effort becomes a failure.

The body insisted on speeding up the metabolism maybe because of other factors that involve that cause the slowing down of its responses.

Metabolism is one kind of process that allows the body to convert food into energy. The body needs large amount of energy level for the various body organs to be able to carry-out its essential and individual function. Any failure in metabolic process will result to disease. The internal processing system temporary stopped reacting. The life-circulating blood as the basic building block for life was affected.

Metabolism is responsible in the conversion of oxygen into carbon dioxide. It is responsible in removing any harmful and potentially lethal waste out of the body through the kidneys. It protects the basic building block the life circulation blood from impurities that may affect its life-giving performance.

Metabolic process is one aspect of body function. There are many interaction happened inside the body, series of chemical conversion taking place every day or at all times through metabolic functioning.

Metabolism is a continuing process that involves 2 opposing faction. The anabolism create cell by using certain amount of energy while catabolism create energy by breaking down cells. So metabolism allows the body to create or breakdown cells depending on the urgency of its use.

Anabolism principal function is to create tissues and cells to replace that are considered dead cells or dysfunctional (inactive) cells. The purpose of creating new skin cells is to clot the blood. The function enables the cut skin to heal slowly and easily. But catabolism functioned in different directions. The activity of the body is to breakdown the cell is to create energy to be able to carry out its normal function.

It is a fact to know that the body needed enough oxygen. If there is additional energy, it caused the breathing to increase considerably. The body taking in oxygen and getting rid out of the body the carbon dioxide. This was the normal process for the normal body functioning.

To measure energy we used a unit of measure called calories. The body has no ability to differentiate was in good or bad energy. It doesn’t care to know the source of the energy. The incapacity of the body to determine what energy is healthy or not healthy is the reason of laxity of control of gaining weight. The body always accepted whatever kinds of foods taken to the mouth. As the body received a calorie from the food eaten, he converted the energy to something he chooses.

 He may use the energy (calories) to create new cells and tissues or he will that energy (calories) to breakdown the cells. The body can utilize energy it can afford to handle and used in any given time. If there were excess calories from the food taken, the body is forced to use that energy to create cells. With the process of anabolism, the extra amount of calories will become additional weight. It further increases weight gain to higher level. Too many calories in the body brought higher energy level. The body was forced to convert the excess calories to become fat.

Getting rid of weight gain can only be done through physical activity. Burning calories is the only solution to be able to reduce weight. Exercise can cause energy output, thereby reducing fat quantity in the body. Developing a strong muscle tone can burn calories more as it boost metabolism to handle excess calories and burned it down before it can establish to become fat. 

It is important that there is a continues building of muscle and maintaining it at all times so that only extra calories in the body can be handled properly to bring goodness instead bringing harm to the already fragile situation of the body form.
