Understanding Metabolic Health

Metabolic health refers to how efficiently the body processes food for energy and is critically linked to chronic disease risk. Only about 12% of the U.S. population was considered metabolically healthy as of 2018, highlighting a significant health concern. The key aspects of metabolic health include the proper functioning of mitochondria, which convert consumed nutrients into energy. A decline in mitochondrial function due to factors like poor diet, stress, or lack of exercise can lead to various metabolic diseases, including prediabetes and fatty liver disease.
