Metabolism is actually the process your body goes through (and how quickly) to breakdown the food you eat and turn the food into energy for your body. The more muscle you have the quicker that process happens.
Let me explain some of the words you hear:
Endocrine system: The main "mama" for your metabolism by stimulating glands and releasing hormones.
Thyroid gland: The key "metabolism" gland that produces certain hormones that play a key role in determining how fast or slow your body breaks down food.
Pancreas gland: The gland that releases insulin by sensing "food or glucose" in your body.
Hyperthyroidism: overactive thyroid
Hypothyroidism: underactive thyroid
Doesn't that make more sense!!!
Insulin hormone: Hormone released by the pancreas gland that signals cells to do their job.
Now doesn't that make more sense!!!
