nutrition facts

Most folks know a small amount about metabolism. Some know all about it
some know only that it happens in our bodies
and others have only heard the word. For those of you out there who are interested in learning a bit more
here it is! Metabolism works in our bodies to synthesize and break down food
or "purines".

Before we go any further on metabolism
we should learn what Purines are. They come from the food that we ingest. Who thought food could have such a fancy name? Purines
by definition are "A double-ringed
crystalline organic base
C5H4N4
not known to occur naturally
from which is derived the nitrogen bases adenine and guanine
as well as uric acid as a metabolic end product."

Now
back to metabolism. Metabolism occurs in living organisms
to sustain life
and/or to synthesize. In humans
it does both. We require such things as nutrients to sustain our being
and metabolism takes these vitamins out of purines. without a metabolism
we would eat and fill up once
never have a bowel movement
and slowly decay from vitamin deficiency.

And there you have it! For you out there who you they know it all
I threw in some big words
and for you out there who don't know the first thing about metabolism
there you go! You can aquire more information on metabolism or purines from books
internet sources
or you doctor.
