So why do we keep seeing studies like this being published? Is it because they’re basically clickbait catnip for journals and newspapers, and in our publish-or-perish attention-seeking world, that means they not only get a pass but they get a press release? Is it because peer review is broken and everyone knows it? Is it because as a society, we're frogs who have been steeping for decades in the ever-heated pot of nutritional nonsense, and consequently don't think to question it?

Will eating a single hot dog really cost you 36 minutes of healthy life? Researchers need to stop studying single foods' impacts on health, says Dr Yoni Freedhoff.

Metabolism is often tied to weight. But there’s much more to it than how easily the numbers on the scale change. You’ve probably heard someone blame weight gain or feeling sluggish on having a “slow” metabolism—you’ll learn later that it’s not completely out of your control. But this is a common misunderstanding of the concept of metabolism.

The meaning of the word “metabolism” is very simple, yet few people seem to understand what it is and what it does. Metabolism is the set of chemical processes that take place in living organisms to sustain life.

On a microscopic scale, the reactions and processes that maintain cellular health are referred to as cellular metabolism. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes and organisms big and small rely on them for growth, reproduction, structural maintenance, and responses to their environment. In the broadest sense, metabolism is what gives organisms life. Without it, there is none.

Your metabolism has three main functions:

Converting food to energy
Converting food to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and certain carbohydrates
Eliminating waste products
So the health of your metabolism ultimately depends on your diet and nutrition. You must eat and drink to provide the energy (calories) and metabolic building blocks (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fats) needed to fuel your actions, sustain your structure and integrity, and eliminate toxic wastes and cellular debris.

Without calories, there is no fuel. Without adequate nutrients, there are no building blocks to support structural integrity and mechanical function. And without proper elimination, toxic wastes and cellular garbage accumulate. Inefficient function in any of these areas will result in poor health.

Make no bones about it, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are all vital to your everyday health. The good news is that dietary surveys show most people are generally consuming more calcium now than in recent decades. The bad news? Overall calcium consumption is still falling a bit short of optimal dietary amounts. And the majority of people fall significantly far below adequate intakes of magnesium or vitamin D.*

By consuming more calcium than magnesium, you may have an imbalance that, according to researchers, could negatively impact your long-term health. The Center for Magnesium Education and Research recommends something close to a 2:1 ratio of total calcium to magnesium per day—from food and supplements.

Vitamin D is another nutrient that continues to show benefits up to as much as 125 mcg per day. And it has repeatedly been shown that calcium is most beneficial when taken with vitamin D and magnesium.*

Long story, short: you probably need more magnesium and vitamin D than you’re already getting. But not necessarily a lot more calcium.*

Fortunately, supplementing these key nutrients is easy. And, it’s one of the best ways to reach more ideal levels. However, most calcium supplements provide much more calcium than magnesium—making the imbalance worse. USANA® MagneCal D™ is different. It offers a 1:1 ratio of magnesium and calcium.*

This equal ratio means you get more magnesium—but not a lot of extra calcium—to help you get closer to the overall 2:1 ratio. Plus, you get advanced levels of vitamin D. Together, this formula delivers a better balance that matches today’s dietary needs.

MagneCal D can help you maintain many aspects of good health.* Here are just a few:

Strong, mineral-rich bones and teeth*
Healthy muscle and nerve function*
Energy metabolism*
Cardiovascular health*
