You probably have heard it many times - you are what you eat, how you move and how much you rest. You are your metabolism. Metabolism is a bit of a catch-phrase these days and it seems to have lost all its original meaning. In scientific terms, metabolism is ultimately a collection of all chemical reactions that take place in the body's cells. These reactions include converting the fuel from the foods you eat into the energy needed to power everything you do, be it moving, sleeping, thinking or simply growing. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time to keep your cells healthy and working.

Ever had trouble opening or closing a tight door while hearing a squeaking noise? Pretty annoying, isn't it. This is the way your knee feels when it is injured. When your knees are healthy and strong, you don't even think about them. But when these hurt, you can prepare yourself for putting your life on hold. Knee injuries can interfere with every single activity of daily living, from simply getting up from a chair and walking, to losing muscle mass and function of your legs.
