By reading this article you will learn about:
- The metabolism
- The 5 foods that help with weight loss
Metabolism consists of two sets of reactions called anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism is related to the synthesis of structural and functional organic compounds, such as membrane proteins, enzymes and hormones. These reactions are fundamental to the development of an organism and to repair damage to cells.
The catabolism, in turn, involves some reactions which are designed to degrade organic substances to obtain ATP, ie, to achieve energy. Unlike anabolism, catabolism works by providing energy so that important activities can be performed, such as movement, breathing, temperature control and the action of our nervous system.
It is important to note that anabolism needs energy to happen. This means that catabolism has a direct influence on anabolism, as it acts by providing energy for the synthesis of biomolecules.
There is also what we call basal metabolism, an expression used to designate the minimum energy available in our body for it to function properly. These reactions must be able to guarantee, for example, the pumping of blood through the heart, the normal activities of the nervous system and breathing.
The speed of metabolism varies from person to person and, although many researchers do not believe that a slow metabolism can influence obesity, recent research suggests that a gene present in the DNA of many obese people actually changes the metabolism and acts on weight gain. It is worth noting, however, that this condition is quite relevant.
Sometimes, our body presents some disturbances in the metabolism that directly affect the functioning of the organism, since they impair some metabolic pathway. Among the main metabolic disorders, we can mention phenylketonuria, albinism, leukodystrophy, lactose intolerance, Pompe’s disease and galactosemia.
Now let’s go to the foods, which are:
1-ALMONDS
They are snacks that provide the feeling of satiety because they provide fiber and vitamins to the body are great to replace breads and cookies, have incredible benefits for skin and hair. Also helping with weight loss
Almond consumption can lower bad cholesterol (LDL) by preserving healthy (HDL) cholesterol. Therefore, the risks of heart attack are reduced, due to increased levels of LDL cholesterol. In addition, there is obstruction of blood flow to the heart, which is responsible for heart attacks.
2- RED FRUITS
They are rich in antioxidants and low-calorie fiber. A good option would be to consume them between meals, they are great to help with weight loss and can replace sweets and breads.
They are rich in vitamin B which helps cells function.
They provide energy, shine to the hair, renew the skin and strengthen the nails. They are also rich in iron, phosphorus, calcium, other minerals and nutrients that together fight anemia, heart disease, reduce blood sugar, bad cholesterol, assist in the healing process and improve intestinal transit. In addition, they are still being studied in the fight against prostate cancer.
These fruits are also characterized by low calories, high water content and good fiber content. Among the fibers present in red fruits we can highlight pectins. This substance has the power to regulate intestinal peristalsis, helping digestive muscles to work better and maximizing the absorption of water-soluble vitamins by our body. Among these vitamins are C, B1, B2, B6 and B12.
3-PEPPER IS UNBELIEVABLE
Peppers have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities have the benefit of being anticancer in addition to improving digestion, also lowering cholesterol and speeding up metabolism by having a thermogenic effect have a compound called capsaicin and the more fiery the more of the compound will have.
The connection of capsaicin with temperature can be explained by the activity of brown fat. Most of the fat in our bodies is white, and excessive levels of white fat can make people overweight or obese. In contrast, brown fat is a very small percentage of total fat (some people don’t even have it), and is highly active as it works to regulate body temperature. Experts thought that only babies had brown fat and lost it with growth; we now know that adults also have brown fat, and may even create new cells from maesma.
4-APPLE IS NOT LEFT BEHIND
Apples are rich in pectin, a fiber that helps control blood glucose. It is recommended to consume two small apples daily, this amount is sufficient for the required dose of pectin.
Cholesterol Researchers at the University of Florida found that pectin fiber also helps to reduce bad cholesterol by forming a fiber in the intestinal wall preventing the absorption of cholesterol and other fats.
It has other benefits such as improving the heart system prevents diabetes , is great for teeth as it prevents caries and other inflammations such as gums help in the intestinal tract, prevents stomach problems among others, in addition to weight loss .
At the University of Iowa, in the United States, researchers found that one of the secrets to increasing the production of fat that slims may be in the apple. It is ursolic acid, present in the fruit’s skin.
“We were surprised to see that it can increase its quantity,” said Christopher Adams, one of those responsible for the work. The conclusion was reached after conducting an experiment with guinea pigs.
Half of the animals received a high-fat diet for several weeks. The rest ate the same foods, in greater quantity, but gained daily doses of ursolic acid.
At the end of the experiment, those who had received supplements of the compound gained less weight than the others. Now, scientists intend to see if such encouraging results can be seen in humans as well.
5- GINGER HELPS IN WEIGHT LOSS
Ginger is anti-nausea, antispasmodic, antifungal, antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antitussive properties and can work wonders for your health. It is responsible for the thermogenic action and increased energy expenditure of the body, favoring weight loss .
