• As we all know we need energy to do work and energy is obtained from food we eat.

• The cells in our body die or deteriorate with different rates with advancing age.

• The most common source of energy is carbohydrates and fats.

• The immediate source of energy is glucose.

• The excess of glucose is converted in to glycogen and is stored in muscles and liver by the process called glycogenesis.
