Metabolism is the process by which we convert the food we eat into energy. Healthy metabolism is a balance between nutrition and energy expenditure. The human journey can be thought of as a taming of this process in an eternal struggle to acquire more nutrients to support our energy needs. Our capacity to evolve such […]

The kidneys serve several functions, but first and foremost is its ability to filter our blood and reabsorb elements that it wants to keep. This function is measured by looking at a calculation called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR represents the rate at which blood is filtered through the functional part of the kidney […]
Sleep
