Energetic Balance

Meaning

Energetic Balance describes the dynamic equilibrium within the body where energy intake from food and stored reserves precisely matches the total energy expenditure for basal metabolism, thermogenesis, and physical activity. Maintaining this equilibrium is fundamentally regulated by complex hormonal signals, including leptin, ghrelin, and insulin, which influence satiety, hunger, and metabolic rate. This state is critical for long-term body weight regulation and overall metabolic health.
