Metabolism Disorders

Metabolism disorders are conditions where the body's chemical processes involved in converting food into energy and building blocks don't work properly. This can happen when enzymes or other substances needed for these processes are missing or defective. As a result, certain nutrients, like sugars or fats, may build up to harmful levels or fail to provide enough energy for the body. These disorders can be inherited or develop over time and often require specific management such as diet changes, medication, or lifestyle adjustments to prevent complications.
