Our bodies get the energy they need from food through metabolism, which is the way cells chemically change food so that it can be used to store or use energy and utilize the proteins, fats, and sugars needed by the body. It is these chemical reactions in the cells that convert the fuel made from food into energy.
A cookie-cutter approach to your nutritional program is a thing of the past. Science today makes it possible to customize health programs to address individual needs. Just as human beings are unique in our external physical characteristics, we are unique on an internal metabolic and physiological basis. As a result, we all process foods and utilize nutrients differently.
