In [MiMi Revealed · Fundamentals 2] (Metabolism: The Behind-the-Scenes Player Determining Your Health), we explored the close relationship between metabolism and health, and revealed the disease risks associated with poor metabolism. When metabolism goes wrong, it can not only lead to disease but also trigger a series of nonspecific symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating and insomnia. These seemingly mild yet deeply uncomfortable symptoms gradually erode our quality of life, silently weakening our vitality and sense of well-being, and can also quietly give rise to more serious health problems.

Long-Term Sub-health: Hidden Dangers Abound
Abnormal metabolism not only directly affects the body's energy supply and nutrient utilization, but can also quietly give rise to a sub-health state by influencing multiple aspects such as body weight, waste elimination and mental health. Maintaining normal metabolic function is precisely the key to safeguarding health and keeping sub-health at bay.
In today's fast-paced modern life, we often neglect our health in the pursuit of success — staying up the longest nights, taking the most expensive supplements, putting goji berries in our thermoses and ginseng in our beer glasses. This "punk wellness" approach of "depleting on one hand while replenishing on the other" may seem self-contradictory, yet it is in fact a "desperate act of self-rescue" in the face of a sub-health state. Next, we will take a deeper look at how to crack the secrets of metabolism and sub-health through scientific means and grasp the key to health. Stay tuned.
