Is it good to have a fast metabolism?

Usually we always say that we should pay attention to some exercise and diet to promote metabolism, but too fast metabolism is actually not good, because too fast metabolism can easily lead to rapid aging of the human body, and due to the production of more free radicals, it is easy to get cancer.

1. Too fast metabolism will cause the human body to age rapidly, and due to the production of more free radicals, it is easy to get cancer. On the contrary, too slow metabolism will lead to developmental delay. A moderate metabolism is better.

2. Sleep can slow down all systems in the body, such as slowing down the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and lowering body temperature, which greatly reduces the release of energy and thus achieves the effect of conserving energy. At the same time, sleep can promote the release of growth hormone and is beneficial to the activation of various active enzymes. The secretion of growth hormone during deep sleep at night is 5-7 times higher than that during the day. It is beneficial to the growth and development of children and adolescents, and can also activate various active enzymes in the body of middle-aged and elderly people, thereby accelerating metabolism and delaying brain decline.

3. The concept of metabolism: Metabolism is the general term for all chemical reactions in living cells, which includes two aspects: material metabolism and energy metabolism. Material metabolism refers to the exchange of substances between organisms and the external environment and the transformation of substances within organisms. Energy metabolism refers to the exchange of energy between organisms and the external environment and the transformation of energy within organisms. In the process of metabolism, there is both assimilation and dissimilation.

4. Assimilation (also called anabolism) refers to the process by which organisms convert nutrients obtained from the external environment into their own constituent substances and store energy. Catabolism (also called catabolism) refers to the process by which an organism can break down part of its own constituent substances, release the energy contained therein, and excrete the final products of decomposition.
