Metabolic States

About the Book

Our current state of health is almost entirely the result of 5 factors:
•  diet
•  physical activity
•  amount of sleep
•  DNA
•  the environment

Except for DNA (e.g. sex, race) and various aspects of our immediate environment, these facets of life are under our voluntary control. Altogether, they produce a net rate of “wear and tear” on the body or something referred to as “stress”.

Stress is ultimately responsible for our:
•  bodyweight
•  body composition
•  state of health
•  rate of aging
