…He [God] rained down manna upon them to eat and gave them food from heaven. Psalm 78:25
There are basically five end-point-results in our physical bodies pertaining to every molecule we ingest (smell, drink, eat, and put on our skin). The first three are not in any certain order, just as the body has need. The last two do occur in order:
What we ingest is used for making new body cells.
What we ingest is used for the production of energy (adenosine tryphosphate aka ATP) for our muscles or for our brain - this includes but is not limited to small molecular structures of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
What we ingest is used for the metabolic processes to make new body cells and/or for the production of energy.
What we ingest, if not used for the three aforementioned processes is excreted in the breath, sweat, urine, or faeces.
If said molecule is too large for excretion, or is of a shape and/or ionic charge which does not allow for the normal pathways of excretion; the body stores that molecule in cells, in-between cells, joints, muscles, crevices, all through out the inside (and outside too) of this body of ours.
In reference to #4, our body has a limited supply energetically (electrically) and chemically (November 20, 2022) of the proper factors which facilitate the excretion of unusable molecular structures. These unusable molecular structures, if not excreted, will be stored, and stored, and stored for upwards of seventy years if need be.
In reference to #5, is your body a warehouse or a glorious temple to be used by God?
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1Corinthians 3:16
