The term “metabolism” has been a hot topic for a long time. Some people want to make their metabolism faster and more powerful “I want to boost my metabolism”, however only few people really know what does metabolism mean. On the other hand, you may hear a hundred answers if you ask for the definitions. Let’s take a look at the classical textbook definition “Metabolism is the sum total of all chemical reactions in the body”. Simply, metabolism is the balance in the body between the reactions that store, repair or build things up “Anabolism” and the reactions that breaks things down “Catabolism” usually for energy needs. Yet, metabolism doesn’t occur in the body alone. It happens equally in the body, mind and emotions. In brief metabolism is the reactions which took place inside the body plus the sum total of all thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
