Understanding Energy Deficiency

Energy is crucial for numerous bodily functions, from heartbeats to cognitive processes. Today, energy deficiency is increasingly tied to serious health issues like cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline, stemming from factors that inhibit the body's ability to convert food into energy. Though conventional education emphasizes three macronutrients—fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—there's emerging recognition of a fourth macronutrient. This fourth component, ketones, has historically been utilized by humans and is now supported by research that suggests it can aid in combating various health problems, including some forms of cancer.
