Exercise of specific types seems to benefit a particular individual is used for identifying new therapeutic targets for diseases related to metabolism.
Living organisms are unique in that they can extract energy from their environments and use it to carry out activities such as movement, growth and development, and reproduction. But how do living organisms or, their cells extract energy from their environments, and how do cells use this energy to synthesize and assemble the components from which the cells are made?
The answers to these questions lie in the enzyme-mediated chemical reactions that take place in living matter (metabolism). Hundreds of coordinated, multistep reactions, fueled by energy obtained from nutrients and/or solar energy, ultimately convert readily available materials into the molecules required for growth and maintenance.

The liver clears toxins from our blood, so it suffers if we don t eat well. Too much sugar or alcohol is poison to it and can lead to an accumulation of fat within the liver.
