Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this book, he draws on twenty years of cutting-edge science to take a closer look at what happens to the energy we consume. Burn explores the ways in which metabolism controls every aspect of our health - from fertility to immune function - and reveals the truth about the dynamic system that sustains us. Filled with facts and memorable anecdotes, this book will change the way you think about food, exercise and what really matters for your health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40148213399596,"sku":"9780141990170","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780141990170_9c484d54-92aa-4d98-8fea-c207a574093d.jpg?v=1759669801","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780141990170","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
