Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The evidence of a homeostatic set point for body weight; relative contributions of heredity and behavior to differences in body weight.

Introduction:

Nutrition is the basis of all life activities, and it is done by the process called metabolism. In metabolism, the raw materials are taken up and it undergoes the digestive process by breaking down the large molecules into small biomolecules. These small biomolecules are further absorbed by the intestinal cells and energy to all living things is provided. The heredity and behavioral changes of human body weight are maintained by homeostatic set point.
