The human body is a very complex biological, chemical and physical mechanism. And his work largely depends on how he is connected with his environment and how strong this connection is. In other words, the activity of all human organs depends on the metabolism, i.e. chemical and biological processes that ensure the growth and proper development of cells. Vital elements are involved in this: proteins, fats and, of course, carbohydrates. Each of them performs a specific function. Proteins are the builders of cells, and fats, together with carbohydrates, regulate the energy required for these purposes. In addition to them, vitamins and various minerals provide feasible assistance in metabolic processes . A significant role in this matter belongs to oxygen.
Metabolism and its components
The growth and development of any organism is carried out in two directions, which occur simultaneously. This assimilation (synthesis) - the formation of new substances and their assimilation, and dissimilation - the breakdown of organic substances with the formation of decay products that are excreted from the body. These complex phenomena interacting with each other occur in stages. First, nutrients , along with food and water, enter the human digestive tract and are absorbed into the mucosa of his walls. Then, blood is distributed to all organs. There they are absorbed, and decay products are excreted from the body. The role of human metabolism is huge. He coordinates the work of all systems as a whole, providing them with everything necessary and removing from them all unnecessary, unnecessary and harmful. For the body to work properly, it is necessary that between these two processes - synthesis and decay - there is a wise balance. If it is broken, a person begins to overcome various diseases.
Causes of metabolic disorders
Among them, heredity and the consequences of various diseases can be distinguished, but most often these are the person’s wrong lifestyle and his nutrition. Food should be balanced. Both the lack of useful micronutrients, for example, during the observance of certain diets, and their excess in case of excessive abuse of high-calorie, especially fatty foods, are very harmful. Timely withdrawal of vital products from the body is important. A sedentary lifestyle, oxygen starvation can cause constipation, and, consequently, a violation of metabolic processes.
The consequences of metabolic disorders
Such a process, of course, does not lead to anything good. Improper human metabolism can be the cause of various diseases. Impaired carbohydrate metabolism is diabetes. Improper fat metabolism contributes to the deposition of plaques on the walls of blood vessels, which, in turn, leads to diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Untimely withdrawal of toxins from the body clogs it and poisons, causing a number of chronic diseases. The result of improper metabolism is obesity, gout, diabetes insipidus, serious damage to muscles, bones and other systems. Children are especially hard hit by metabolic disorders; growth and growth retardation are possible for them.
Prevention of metabolic disorders
A balanced diet and elimination of cholesterol products will help ensure proper metabolism. A sufficient amount of oxygen activates metabolic processes in the tissues . The correct selection of vitamins and minerals will ensure good activity of water-salt metabolism in the cells. Stevia, a popular seaweed, can be of great help in this .
