Genetics of Metabolism

Genetics of metabolism refers to how our genes influence the chemical processes that convert food into energy and build essential substances in our bodies. Each person's metabolism is shaped by specific genes that dictate how efficiently nutrients are used, how calories are burned, and how health conditions like obesity or diabetes may develop. Variations in these genes can lead to differences in metabolism among individuals, impacting how we respond to diet and exercise. Understanding these genetic factors can help in creating personalized approaches to nutrition and health management.
