The metabolic crisis affects the developed countries, and diseases caused by a metabolic disorder are taking on alarming proportions. Why is this happening?
The human body is the result of several million trials and errors. Everything is arranged in it: in each of us there is a whole factory for the production, assimilation and processing of substances necessary for life. We live, grow, develop, multiply through the process underlying the whole living nature - metabolism. Metabolism is a complex, multidimensional system.
Fat metabolism is responsible for increased heat production in winter, regulates the composition and properties of cell membranes.
When the water-salt metabolism is violated, deposits of salts in the joints occur, and as a result arthritis develops. Violation of fat metabolism leads to obesity; diabetes mellitus occurs due to malfunctions of carbohydrate metabolism; diseases of the thyroid gland can be triggered by a "failure" of metabolic processes.
Carbohydrates provide the body with the energy necessary for life. For example, our brain takes only glucose as a substrate for energy education. If the diet is low in carbohydrates - bread, pasta, rice and potatoes, the body ultimately requires sweet, and we frantically grab for chocolate and confectionery, overloading the pancreas. These "fast" carbohydrates instantly burn, releasing many calories at once, which are stored in the form of fat stores under the skin.
It is much more useful to regularly eat "slow" carbohydrates (for example, porridges), which gradually enter the bloodstream and provide a stable level of sugar in the blood, without undermining abrupt "jumps" in the pancreas. If you crave to eat chocolate, then you have brought the body to carbohydrate starvation. Have a full breakfast and have lunch!
In the cold season, when the body needs additional energy to maintain body temperature, fats perform the process of the main substrate for energy education. If in the summer as a source of energy there can be enough glucose, then in winter it is more beneficial for an organism to oxidize fats: from one molecule of fat - 230. It is not for nothing that the appetite increases significantly in the autumn: the body must receive enough fat to not exhaust its strength.
Being afraid to recover, we refuse any food containing fats: meat, dairy products. But the fact is that the proteins from which the tissues of our body are built consist of chains of amino acids, some of which are indispensable. Indispensable protein compounds include, in particular, L-carnitine, consisting of two amino acids - lysine and methionine. Being a product of protein metabolism, it regulates fat balance and energy metabolism. One of the reasons for excess weight and a sense of enduring fatigue is a deficiency of carnitine in the body. Thus, excluding animal food from the diet, we are moving straight to obesity.
Food that can be quickly eaten and cooked, in a catering environment, is prepared from products intended for long-term storage, and therefore containing preservatives, substances that overload the liver and kidneys. In addition, widely used flavor enhancers - glutamate, vinegar, chili - make us with appetite eat even poor-quality products. Oxidation products of oil, repeatedly used for frying dishes (except olive and melted) destroy the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, which can lead to an ulcer. The whole confectionery batch is made on the basis of confectionery fat, and this is nothing more than a transmethylated hydrogenated product.
