            ATP production and protein synthesis are

            two major metabolic reactions. Metabolic
            enzymes are responsible for taking over
            and performing all these processes.
                 With the exception of reproductive
            cells—which represent only 0.1% of the
            body's weight—your body is completely
            different from what it was 12 years before.
            Over those dozen years, all the cells in
            your body have been renewed. Your liver
            is not the liver it once was. In the same way

            that the blood cells in your circulatory sys-
            tem are not the same ones that existed 10
            years ago, neither are the veins through
            which they flow. Your organs have com-
            pletely changed and have been renewed,
            with entirely new cells and molecules. This
            is of course an astonishing phenomenon.
                 The most rapid renewal takes place in
            the epidermis. Every three months, you are
            given a new skin. The rest of your organs
            then follow. Over the years, your lungs,
            kidneys, stomach and all your other or-

            gans change—even your eyes that now
            read these lines. The slowest changes take
            place in the bone and cartilage. It takes
            some 10 years for them to change—yet
            these, too, are finally renewed.
                 For that reason, there is a constant
            need for construction in the body. And of
            the workers engaged in the construction of
