what is the metabolism

Metabolism is a term that refers to the a group of certain biochemical reactions which occurs and happen inside any living cell to keep it alive , and it helps us in the process of growing , reproduction and damage repair .

Metabolism is a sign of life , so it starts with birth and ends with death .

- In other simple word , metabolism is the process of transformation of food to energy " Calories " in any living organism .


Metabolism is classified into 2 categories: 

- Anabolism: The process of building of repairing cells and tissues , thus it needs energy . 
- Catabolism: The process of breakdown and destructing food components , thus it produces energy . 

So , if you want to increase your body weight , you have to stimulate your anabolic process , and if you want to lose weight , you have to stimulate your catabolic process
