What are the benefits of fat for fitness?
Fat has a certain influence on fitness, and it is a positive influence.

Improve muscle strength

In terms of its influence on physical fitness, unsaturated fat can increase the synthesis and metabolism of skeletal muscle like saturated fat, thus enhancing muscle strength. In addition, fat plays a key role in keeping our testosterone level high, and foods rich in unsaturated fat can provide energy for the body.

As we all know, fat is the most energetic substance in the human body, and its storage is much larger than sugar. In junior high school textbooks, the teacher also told us that fat is a kind of energy storage material.

This undoubtedly has a great influence on fitness people. As we all know, most people will consume the energy stored in liver glycogen first when exercising. If the energy supply is insufficient or too late, you need to use fat to supply energy. Of course, this will involve "the utilization rate of fat". If the utilization rate is high, the fat consumption will be better, and the natural fat reduction effect will be better. If the utilization rate is low, it is difficult to consume body fat.

At present, the commonly used methods to improve the utilization rate of fat are "oral fatty acid" or "intravenous injection", both of which can improve the level of free fatty acid, thus saving the consumption of liver glycogen.

2. Help recover after fitness

We all know that muscle growth begins with muscle tearing. Besides physical therapy, nutrition is very important to help muscle recovery. Unsaturated fatty acids such as olive oil are very helpful to help restore fatigue after exercise and alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Generally speaking, the repair of muscles, joints and nerves mostly begins during sleep. When we fall asleep, the body will begin to rebuild, and at this time, the damage of the body after exercise is also repaired by ingesting unsaturated fat.

In addition, it is said that unsaturated fat can also reduce the attack of asthma and increase the antioxidant index.

It can improve muscle strength, maintain androgen, provide energy for the body, and help the recovery after fitness ... Do you feel more and more inseparable from fat? In fact, fat is not as terrible as the outside world thinks. Both saturated fat and unsaturated fat should be ingested.
