Treatment of overweight by folk remedies and methods
It's actually very easy to lose weight: the proponents of the "water" theory claim that for this it is only necessary to make water the main drink.
When our brain records a low level of energy, it "makes" us to eat. If food does not enter the body, the brain mobilizes the energy stored in the fat stores. But to do this, you need to use certain types of hormones to use them to turn lipids into energy. This process takes time, and while hormones are going to start working, the brain, more precisely its anterior part, gives the command to extract energy from sugar in the blood or intercellular "hydropower".
In general, the sensations of hunger and thirst arise simultaneously, alerting us of the needs of the brain. But a person does not always know how to distinguish these sensations, believing that "hungry" desires are nothing but a desire to eat. Therefore, we eat even when the body requires only water from us. People who are accustomed to drinking before eating, are able to distinguish one sensation from another. Such people do not have the habit of overeating to get rid of the feeling of thirst.
The human brain is about 1/50 of the total body weight. It consists of almost 10 trillion cells, which contain 85% of water. However, the brain accounts for about 20% of all blood circulating in the circulatory system of man. That is, blood first of all supplies the brain with all the necessary substances, since it is the only organ of its kind that is constantly in active state. He constantly processes information coming to him from different parts of the body, as well as organs of sight, touch and smell.
The brain spends a lot of energy on data processing and coordination of body movements. In addition, he needs energy also for the production of neurotransmitters, which are then transferred to the peripheral nerves and nerve endings. This transportation system also needs a lot of energy. And it is the high energy requirements of the brain that cause 20% of the blood circulating in the blood system to account for cerebral circulation.
The brain cells have their own energy reserves, which are stored in two forms: GTP and ATP.Due to ATP, located mainly in the cell membranes, the brain performs many different actions, but its expenditure is never chaotic. For different "stimuli" there are different energy release thresholds, because the brain knows well which action is important for the organism, and which does not. In the event that stocks of ATP are depleted, the brain may not react to stimulation in any way, since some of its cells perform their functions ineffectively.
Approximately the same process occurs when the reserves of GTP are depleted. In extreme cases, the energy of GTP can be directed to the replenishment of ATP stores in order to support the most significant brain functions that can suffer from a lack of energy.
The quality of storage of ATP and GTP largely depends on the percentage of sugar in the blood. The brain constantly needs glucose to replenish the reserves of ATP and GTP.To replenish energy, the brain uses two mechanisms: the first is the mechanism of obtaining sugar and metabolism, the second is the transformation of hydropower and the use of water resources. The latter is of great importance for the brain, because at the expense of this type of energy there is transportation of chemicals necessary for different parts of the body.
To meet the needs of the brain, our body has created a finely balanced system of supporting the optimal level of sugar in the blood. This is achieved in two ways: by stimulating the consumption of carbohydrates and protein and by turning glucose into proteins and carbohydrates from the body's stores. The second mechanism is called gluconeogenesis, that is, the conversion of various substances into glucose. This process occurs in the liver.
Because many brain functions are directly dependent on the presence of glucose, we get a pleasant sensation from the sweet. In our body there is a whole "coding system", created to coordinate the work of organs in the event that sweet taste begins to irritate the receptors of the tongue. If there is not enough glucose in the blood, the liver produces it, converting starch, then proteins and only then fats, since the latter process is too slow and laborious. The body should for a while dispense with food, so that the rate of fat metabolism is optimal.
The liver is easier to break down the proteins supplied than the fat, since the fat is made up of individual fatty acids. However, a gram of fat gives the body as much as 9 kcal, and a gram of protein or sugar - only 4. Therefore, after consuming fatty foods, a person feels more saturated.
Young children have very good blood circulation, and fats in their bodies are absorbed much faster, converted into heat. In adulthood, the intensity of circulation is much lower, therefore fats are less accessible to enzymes that process fatty acids in the liver and muscles. In addition, with a lack of muscle activity, fats in the muscles split worse. If a person moves a lot, muscles use their own fats as an alternative source of energy. To do this, they need to activate the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fats.
Therefore, those who want to get rid of extra pounds should regularly load their muscles, as this they will contribute to the process of splitting fats. The same enzyme that is responsible for the breakdown of fat in muscles, is able to clean the walls of blood vessels from cholesterol deposits. However, everything described usually happens only against the background of regular water intake.
A sedentary lifestyle does not suit a person: our physiology can not change enough to allow the body to use it so.
In order for all organs and systems to function normally, physical activity is necessary. Only in this case the body will know how much and when to eat so as not to accumulate excess fat, and each of the parts of our body will make the most of the energy received.
However, under stress, the brain is forced to work in a non-stop mode, so the body can not perform its functions properly. It turns out a vicious circle: the brain under stress is not able to work properly, therefore, the body can not supply it with the necessary amount of glucose, resulting in the brain again unable to perform its functions. Usually we solve this problem simply: we start to eat more. The situation is aggravated by the fact that many of us do not know how to differentiate the signals from the brain about thirst from signals about hunger. In such conditions, the body quickly dehydrates, and we begin to gain weight.
The reason we get better is very ordinary: we take food to provide our brain with the necessary energy. However, the brain does not need all the substances present in the food: only 20 of them are delivered to the cells of the central nervous system, and the rest are put aside, especially if the muscles do not use the proportion given to them. But when a person knows how to distinguish a thirst from hunger and uses water as an energy source, there is no accumulation of fat: excess water can always be excreted by the kidneys.
