Its a regulator for our bodies energy needs.

We need energy at all times to breath, eat,
digest food, heal, exercise, and more.

When we eat or consume fluids, our bodies combine
these substances with various enzymes and break
them down into the energy we need.

While performing these activities our body break
down food and convert it into energy to match our
increased energy needs.

This whole process is called metabolism.

and pumping blood requires substantial energy.
