Frequently Asked Questions

Will the surgery affect my pet's disposition or metabolism?

Firehall 4 Animal Hospital : FAQ
The procedure has no effect on a pet's intelligence or ability to learn, play, work or hunt. Most pets tend to be better behaved following the operation, making them more desirable companions. Contrary to popular belief, the surgery will not make your pet fat. A balanced diet and exercise will keep your pet from experiencing the health risks associated with obesity. Ask your veterinarian to advise you on the best diet and exercise plan for your pet for each stage of its life.

How does diabetes affect metabolism of food?

Sansum Diabetes Research Institute
Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body's glucose (sugar) levels are abnormally high. Diabetes occurs when your pancreas stops making enough insulin, which is necessary for the proper metabolism of digested foods. Diabetes doesn't interfere with digestion, but it does prevent the body from using an important product of digestion: glucose for energy. When we eat, foods containing proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down into simpler, easily absorbed chemicals.

What is metabolism?

Frequently Asked Questions, Healthy Insights From A Physicia...
Metabolism is analogous to the subway grid, the bus route and the street map. Nutrients are the commuters. Any one nutrient undergoing a chemical reaction can be compared to a New Yorker commuting to work: I'll take the bus if it comes right away, otherwise I'll take the subway. If I'm running late, I'll hail a cab. If it's raining I'll go to the other nearby subway station. The point is that nutrients have many "choices".

What is metabolism and how does it affect drug testing?

Sterling Reference Laboratories | Toxicology FAQ
Metabolism is the process of changing a compound into a new compound. Most ingested drugs are partially or totally metabolized to other compounds or "metabolites" by the liver to make them more water-soluble so the kidney can easily excrete them. A drug test may actually look for the metabolite of the drug because the parent compound is rarely found in the urine.

I have "dry eyes". Will this affect my LASIK surgery?

LASIK FAQ, LASER Eye Surgery FAQ
Many patients seeking refractive surgery do so because they have dry eyes and are unable to wear contact lenses anymore. It is important that your dry eyes be treated. This usually involves the use of tear supplements and punctum plugs (tiny silicone plugs placed in the tear drainage openings of your eyelid) that delay the drainage of your own tears so your eyes will stay moist.

How does QRS affect cell metabolism?

QRS - FAQ

These low pulsating magnetic fields operate to bring about cell and body regeneration in a natural way without side effects. This activates the immune system and puts the body in a state where it can actually heal itself.

How can I improve my metabolism?

Rite Aid : Faq's
Our metabolism can be affected by many components: our dieting history, exercise practices, genetics, age, and eating habits. One of the greatest challenges for the overweight person is to make a change in eating habits in order to impact their metabolism. One very important component to improving metabolism is to eat smaller portions on a very regular basis. Many people who are overweight or have a long dieting history are used to frequently using the "starvation" method.

So why is the metabolism so important?

Table of Contents
Even the slightest upward "shift" in the metabolic rate can have a profound, lasting affect on our ability to burn bodyfat for fuel, instead of the dreaded alternative - storing it as fat. Think of your body as having a thermostat you can turn "up" or "down" by modifying specific lifestyle factors. Turn the thermostat up, or "up-regulate" your metabolic rate, to burn bodyfat at a much faster rate.
