"If you’ve spent any time scrolling through the health and wellness corners of
social media, you’ve likely come across many products claiming to improve your
metabolism. But what exactly is your metabolism?
Everything you expose your body to – from lifestyle to an airborne virus –
influences your physical characteristics, such as your blood pressure and
energy levels. Together, these biological characteristics are referred to as
your phenotype. And the biological system that most directly influences your
phenotype is your metabolism.
So if you are eating something, take medications, smoke or exercise, your
metabolism is responsible for transferring that biological information
throughout your body for it to adapt."
