Collection: METABOLISM

Metabolism is the set of processes that occur in our body whose task is to transform food into energy .

A slowing down of these processes leads to a lower use of the calories ingested with food and consequently the excess energy is stored in the form of fat, at the level of different body areas (mainly waist, hips and abdomen).

The causes of a slow metabolism can be numerous, from genetic ones to those linked to an unbalanced diet, lack of sleep, periods of stress or fasting, sedentary lifestyle and hypothyroidism.
