Metabolic diseases

Metabolism refers to how your body makes energy from your daily intake of food. Specifically, your body breaks down what you consume, and stores the building blocks as energy for immediate use or for long-term storage. When this process is not properly functioning, you have a metabolic disorder. A type of metabolic disorder is diabetes.
