Recently, gyms have been packed full of people who are interested in losing weight as soon as possible. Experienced trainers give advice on adjusting your diet, and also advise you to do more cardio loads that contribute to fat burning.
At first, this whole process is so mesmerizing that amateur athletes begin to play sports with special zeal. Of course, because there are mainly beautiful fit instructors who encourage you to go in for sports even more. One look at their figure - and that's it, you strive to achieve the same results. But unfortunately, these dreams often cannot come true without a “chemical” approach.
Where and why is fat deposited
If you ask any person where the fat is, the answer will be unambiguous - under the skin. Fat is an ugly "hanging" on the skin, which must always be hidden from others by clothing (at least smart people do this). There is also visceral fat, that is, fat that envelops the internal organs. The latter option is the most dangerous for human health, since various diseases may appear against this background.
If we talk about fat that enters our body with food, then you should not remove it from your diet. After all, it, like complex carbohydrates or proteins, supports the vital activity of the body. But you need to be able to choose the "right" fats and carbohydrates for yourself. After all, fried fatty foods are junk food. Fast carbs - sweets, baked goods, pasta, etc. m - also do not bring any positive effect. So why use them?
In our time, obesity in humans is already a common occurrence. America (USA) especially suffers from it, but our country “does not graze the back ones” either. Every year more and more obese people, especially teenagers, can be seen on the street. All due to the fact that there are too many fast food establishments. He came, had a bun or a hamburger, washed down with Coca-Cola - and you can go on.
Only fats from such food are literally immediately deposited under the skin. Dr. Atkins, who came up with the diet of the same name, announced that fast carbohydrates are to blame for the deposition of fat, as they raise insulin levels in the body with lightning speed. And this provokes the "storage" of subcutaneous fat. And, accordingly, the more carbohydrates consumed, the more weight will be on the scales.
Fat triglycerides
Why exactly triglycerides? Because fat is triglycerides, as well as specific fatty acids. This is not just one element, but a whole class of elements that are linked by glycerol (its particle). In turn, this class of elements is composed of fatty acids. If you go deeper, then there is still a lot to say in the "chemical" language, but many simply do not understand what this is about. Therefore, we will explain the most important thing.
Fatty acids are found in large quantities in our food, as well as in subcutaneous fat. There are saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. With food, mainly triglycerides enter the body. In order to digest them, the so-called bile acids are secreted (they are secreted by the gallbladder). The cleavage enzyme is called lipase. Lipase processes triglycerides into small particles, which are converted again into triglycerides after absorption into the small intestine. Then they enter the bloodstream with cholesterol and lipoproteins.
Some elements from fatty acids can immediately enter the bloodstream, being absorbed into the muscles during exercise. Also, active tissues (for example, the heart) can store some fatty acids in order to use them quickly when needed. Before entering the fat cells, the processed triglyceride particles first "enter" the liver, and then are transformed there again into triglycerides. Triglycerides are converted back to fatty acids by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase.
If insulin is in increased doses in the body, then fat accumulates in fat cells, and in large quantities. Lipoprotein lipase stores fat, preventing it from being energy for muscle mass or heart muscles.
If each person ate properly and monitored the amount of calories consumed, and also ate less fast carbohydrates, then there would be no problems with obesity and other sores that appear against the background of excess weight. It is easy enough to "save" fat, but how to remove it? How to make your body fit and strong? Only by training? Unlikely.
How to get rid of subcutaneous fat
Many people are interested in how to get rid of the hated subcutaneous fat. In order to lose fat mass, fat cells require exposure to certain hormones. These hormones are:
- a growth hormone;
- glucagon;
- adrenalin;
- thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Triglyceride is broken down by several enzymes that are activated by the hormones mentioned above. The mechanism of the breakdown of subcutaneous fat is a rather complex process, so only scientists can tell about it in detail. But let's try to figure it out a little.
Fat cells are lipocytes. Fat is stored in them. After the fat is released, it is broken down into elements such as fatty acids and glycerin.
The muscle cell has its own mitochondria - and fatty acids get there after being split. Then they are oxidized and released with energy. Each fat cell has receptors. They respond to the introduction of various hormones. Where do hormones come from? Hormones are produced by the pituitary gland, the endocrine glands.
So, fat is burned under the influence of external and internal factors, when hormones with lipolytic action enter the bloodstream and begin their "work". Passing through the circulatory system, hormones affect the receptors of fat cells, resulting in the release of fatty acids and glycerin from them. Finally, the fatty acids travel to the muscles - the mitochondria - where they are burned.
Fat can be burned in two cases: during prolonged fasting, or when a person spends a lot of time in the gym. In the first case, during long-term fasting, a hormone is released that stimulates the breakdown of fat in the body. It releases a chemical that acts on nerve endings. When a person is full, then the fat burning signal disappears.
Hormone prostaglandin
Prostaglandin produces a fat cell enzyme that responds to various signals in the body. It can slow down the fat burning process as it breaks down cyclic adenosine monophosphate. If the breakdown of cyclic AMP begins, fat is burned very slowly.
Therefore, if you penetrate this whole theory with your head, one thing becomes clear: in the process of accumulating and burning fat in the body, hormones, enzymes and all kinds of medications play an important role. But do not think that pills alone can achieve the results you want to achieve.
This article provides only a fraction of the information on the storage / breakdown of body fat. Terms are difficult to understand. But the fat burning system is also a rather complicated thing. One thing can be said: you need to watch what you eat, play sports, and then everything will be all right.
