What is the reason for slow metabolism

When we fall asleep, there will be a metabolic cycle in the body. Metabolism can promote the normal activity of various organs in the body. If there is a problem with metabolism, then our body will be like a time bomb, and diseases may occur at any time. Many people will find that their metabolism has suddenly slowed down, and they don’t understand why.

In the process of metabolism, there is both assimilation and dissimilation.

Assimilation: also called anabolism) refers to the process by which organisms convert nutrients obtained from the external environment into their own constituent substances and store energy.

Catabolism: (also called catabolism) refers to the process by which an organism can break down part of its own constituent substances, release the energy contained therein, and excrete the final products of decomposition.

The relationship between assimilation, dissimilation, material metabolism and energy metabolism in metabolism can be summarized by the table on the left:

Basic types of metabolism

During the long process of evolution, organisms constantly interact with their environment and gradually form different types of metabolism. According to the different modes of assimilation and dissimilation of organisms in nature, the basic types of metabolism can be divided into the following types.

Two types of assimilation

Depending on whether organisms can use inorganic substances to produce organic matter during the assimilation process, metabolism can be divided into autotrophic and heterotrophic types.

Autotrophic green plants absorb inorganic substances directly from the external environment, transform them into complex organic substances through photosynthesis, and store energy to maintain their own life activities. This type of metabolism is autotrophic.

A few types of bacteria are unable to carry out photosynthesis, but can use the energy released by the oxidation of certain inorganic substances in the extracorporeal environment to produce organic matter, and rely on the energy released by the oxidation and decomposition of these organic substances to maintain their own life activities. This synthesis is called chemosynthesis.

Metabolism is very important to our organs. Metabolism is the process of converting the food we eat into various fats, which are then supplied to all parts of the body through metabolism. If there is a problem with metabolism, then our nutrients will not be able to be supplied to various organs. The body's organs will no longer have the so-called demand and will become sick, so everyone should adjust their metabolism in time.
