Part 1: Biochemistry β The Hidden Engine of Life
You might think you run on willpower, or motivation, or even caffeine.
But underneath it all, what really keeps you alive and thriving is biochemistry β trillions upon trillions of tiny chemical reactions happening every second inside your body.
Every time you think, breathe, move, eat, or sleep, you are firing off an invisible storm of chemical reactions:
- Thinking: Your brain burns glucose and oxygen like a tiny, tireless engine.
- Breathing: Your lungs feed oxygen into your bloodstream, fueling energy reactions in every cell.
- Moving: Your muscles contract by releasing calcium ions and firing electrical impulses.
- Eating: Your food is dismantled into tiny building blocks to build new cells, hormones, and enzymes.
- Resting: Your body repairs itself, balances hormones, and clears toxins when you sleep.
In short:
π Your daily habits don’t just influence your health. They are your health.
Biochemistry is the bridge between what you do and what you become.
