The package "Nutritiological"
Metabolic diseases are present in every human being and arise from a variety of factors, both environmental and genetic.
Metabolism is the totality of all processes in the body, which is maintained by homeostasis. Various changes in metabolism or in the metabolism of minerals and vitamins can lead to disorders that in the initial stages can be compensated by the body, but the symptoms can manifest themselves when the body can no longer maintain homeostasis (i.e. internal harmony)
How will changes in metabolic processes effect on the human body?
- Slow metabolism: If our metabolism slows down, our body uses less energy. This can lead to weight gain as excess energy is stored as fat.
- Accelerated metabolism: Increased metabolism can promote weight loss as the body uses calories faster. However, a significant acceleration can result in an energy deficit, causing fatigue and weakness.
- Obesity: Metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome can lead to fat deposition (accumulation), especially in the abdominal area, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
- Decreased muscle mass: When protein metabolism is impaired, the body can use muscle as a source of energy, resulting in muscle loss and weakening.
- Thyroid: Changes in thyroid function (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) significantly affect metabolism. Hypothyroidism slows metabolism, causing fatigue, depression, and weight gain, while hyperthyroidism speeds it up, leading to weight loss, increased irritability, and rapid heartbeat.
- Diabetes: A disorder of carbohydrate metabolism leads to changes in blood glucose levels. Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes can develop due to metabolic disorders, leading to persistently high blood sugar levels and many different complications throughout the body.
- Osteoporosis: Disruption of calcium, phosphorus metabolism and parathormone synthesis can lead to weakened bone tissue and the development of osteoporosis. This increases the risk of bone fractures and other skeletal problems.
- Dyslipidemia: Disorders of lipid metabolism can lead to elevated blood cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease
Changes in metabolism can have serious health consequences, so it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, physical activity and regular medical check-ups to monitor metabolic parameters.
