All cells in our body are in a constant process of renewal. Dead cells, which leave the body through various excretory processes, must be constantly renewed. For this, the body naturally needs raw materials from which new cells can then develop.

Especially for muscle building we need a lot of protein, while excess energy from fats and carbohydrates is stored as body fat. In addition, a whole range of other substances play a role in metabolism, including micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, but also water, which is important for the transport of nutrients in the bloodstream and also helps to eliminate metabolic waste products from the body.

Enzymes are also very important for metabolism. Some of these enzymes are ingested with food, but some can also be produced by the body itself. The enzymes are so-called catalysts that can accelerate certain processes in the body or make them possible in the first place.

Last but not least, the body needs oxygen for its energy metabolism, which is absorbed via the lungs during respiration and then transported into the individual cells via the bloodstream. Here again the picture of the combustion furnace helps us to understand: in order for a fire to burn, oxygen is needed, without air supply every fire suffocates immediately.

During the combustion process in our cells, waste products are produced that have to be transported out of the body - the so-called slags. This also happens via the bloodstream. It transports the slags to where the body can excrete them again.

Carbon dioxide from oxygen combustion, for example, is transported to the lungs, where it can be exhaled, while urea is excreted via the kidneys.

Other waste products are filtered in the liver and then excreted in the stool. These processes are vital to survival. If these metabolic processes run smoothly, we feel well, we feel healthy and look healthy. But if the metabolism is disturbed, this can have serious consequences. Not only do we increase or decrease excessively, but serious diseases such as diabetes or gout can also result from a metabolic disorder. To prevent this from happening in the first place, it is best to support the metabolism through a healthy lifestyle and to stimulate it through a good diet and plenty of exercise.
