It feels good

When the body is metabolically healthy it is good at getting energy from food. It can also easily put any excess food into fat stores, and then release the stored fat when energy is needed. The body can do all this whilst staying in a healthy balance.

In simple terms, good metabolic health means the engine for life is working well. It runs well and is less likely to break down. The body's fuel tanks have space to take in excess fuel and release it again when needed. The engine can work harder when needed and stay in good repair.

With good metabolic health we are more likely to feel energised and are less likely become unwell.

  • energised
  • awake
  • alert
  • clear thinking
