Consuming Simple Carbohydrates after Workouts – Insulin Blow – II part
Complex carbohydrates stimulate insulin production to the suitable level Refueling our bodies with complex carbohydrates helps avoid an insulin blow and the negative diversion to storing fat but it also has another importance – it provides production of insulin just enough for the muscle growth. The constant quantity can be directed to the muscles and aside from the fatty tissue, where it is normally directed if produced in too big quantities for too short period of time.
Consuming Simple Carbohydrates after Workouts – Insulin Blow – I part
The following is an analysis of the term “insulin blow”. In order to judge which carbohydrate would have the most favorable effect after physical exercise we suggest making a comparison of the roles of each one. When carrying out a comparative analysis in any field, the first step is to look into the problems of usefulness and harm in applying different approaches. When deciding which carbohydrates – simple or complex – are more useful in refueling the organism after training, we have to bear in mind what is offered by each kind.
Complex carbohydrates serve to achieve four main aims:
1.Play the role of energy fuel 2.Ensure the saving of proteins 3.Serve as a main means of fats metabolism 4.Serve as a fuel for the central nervous system
Risks in exhausting the carbohydrate stores The organism will be destroyed if the carbohydrate stores decrease due to the fact that the system accumulates acid by-products /ketones/. The presence of ketonic bodies creates a potentially dangerous increase of acidity of body liquids. This condition is called acidosis or ketosis /directly connected with fats decomposition /. The acidity in the organism, or ketosis, leads to its disability to perform physical exercise. The main organs /kidneys, liver, brain, heart/ have disrupted functions. Normally the kidneys fail first, then the heart and the brain.
When an organism is in the condition called ketosis, the main processes are such that there is maximum use of fats for energy. Even with reduced intake of calories the body muscle mass is preserved. But can we use cyclic ketone diet as a means of increasing muscle mass while keeping the level of body fats low?
