Metabolism is a balance that breaks down into two, the building up of body tissues and energy stores (Anabolism) and the breaking down (Catabolism) of body tissues and energy stores to generate more
fuel for body functions: Anabolism or constructive metabolism, is all
about building and storing: It supports the growth of new
cells, the maintenance of body tissues, and the storage of energy for use in the future.
