Most chronic diseases don’t start suddenly—they begin with a malfunctioning metabolism. When your body can’t efficiently convert food into energy, the effects can show up in multiple areas, affecting your skin and teeth, and even contributing to conditions such as Alzheimer’s, cancer, and depression.
“I believe that metabolism, and health or disease in this area, is a root cause for chronic diseases that we’re facing in the 21st century,” Dr. Robert Lufkin, a medical school professor at the University of California–Los Angeles and the University of Southern California, and a New York Times bestselling author, told The Epoch Times.
