Hane, a nutritionist at H2U CLUB, needs to explain a few terms before he can understand "fast food". Hani made a table for everyone. Let's clarify the concept! When food enters our body, what physiological mechanism does the body produce? Let Hani draw a picture to explain it to you ~ generally eat glucose (that is, blood sugar! ), transported by blood to muscles and internal organs (brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, nerve, etc.). ) is the cell energy. (1) Muscle will use its stored glycogen to convert it into glucose for its own use to generate energy.

When food enters our body, what physiological mechanism does the body produce? Let Hani draw a picture to explain it to you ~ generally eat glucose (that is, blood sugar! ), transported by blood to muscles and internal organs (brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, nerve, etc.). ) is the cell energy. (1) Muscle will use its stored glycogen to convert it into glucose for its own use to generate energy. (2) The liver will convert the stored glycogen into glucose, which will be transported by the blood to various organs for their use to generate energy. The glycogen stored in human body is only about 300g (depending on each person's muscle mass), of which about 70g is stored in the liver. After fasting for 8~ 12 hours, it will be exhausted, that is, it will enter the next stage. At this time, the supply of glucose in the body is insufficient, and the body begins to transform from fat and protein to glucose (sugar newborn). In this case, in addition to the fat stored in the human body, protein, which is responsible for maintaining physiological functions and immunity, will also be consumed, which may affect human health! It will be clearer to have a look at the general plan! Because long-term fasting has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of muscle tissue (protein), there is an improvement method: you should still eat a little sugar (equivalent to100g glucose) every day to provide the body with necessary glucose, hoping to reduce the loss of protein, which is why "light fasting" will advocate drinking drinks with high sugar content, whether it is fruit and vegetable juice or maple syrup. But in the actual situation, this method of eating a little sugar can't completely stop the decomposition of protein, but only slightly reduce the consumption of protein, and usually the body fat rate will rise! If it continues, there will be a series of mechanisms, such as the production of ketone bodies. Write another article to share with you when you have time. Of course, the metabolism in our body is not so simple, and several biochemical steps are omitted. It's good to leave this to our nutrition students to study, but before implementing this plan, the basic principles should be clear. You always have to compare prices when buying things! Health is the same, once lost, it will never come back! Article source: Please subscribe to Hani's blog for the latest information.
