The metabolic health engine
In an age when personally-generated metabolic dysfunction is the most pressing of health issues, it’s important to realize that vigorous aerobic exercise plays a mighty role in improving the efficiency of the process that
● delivers oxygen and essential nutrients to every cell in body and
● removes the waste products of metabolism from those cells.
As a general rule, we ‘get’ the concept of making sure every cell in the body gets enough oxygen and enough of the right nutrients. We’re less likely to appreciate the role that aerobic activity plays in stimulating the ‘exhaust system’.
With respect to the quality of the fuel being used, you’d have to say that a lot of people are starving on full stomachs. Not only are they eating too much food, and food that’s of a high energy density, the nutritional quality of their food has been diminished by a lack of essential fats, vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients. Add to that a lack of fresh food, over processing, and over cooking and you can see why some bodies are struggling to keep in good metabolic health.
In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and remember you can't live the fit and healthy life sitting down all day eating fat, flour and sugar!
Regards and best wishes
