Oxidation Rate

My analysis says that I have "Significantly Slow Oxidation" - what does that mean?

"Oxidation Rate" refers to the burning of foods in the body or how the body converts the foods you eat to energy. A slow oxidizer is an individual who metabolizes food at a rate slower than that required for the production of optimal energy levels to adequately perform basic body functions. In slow oxidation the activity of both the adrenal and thyroid glands is less than optimal. Slow oxidizers often experience some degree of fatigue, lack of energy, sugar cravings, low blood sugar levels, constipation, weight gain, dry skin and depression.
