The ketogenic diet is essentially a low-carbohydrate and high-fat type of diet, which was initially used for the treatment of epilepsy, through which the fat metabolism in the body can be accelerated, and the ketone bodies, the intermediate metabolites of fats, provide the body with energy through secondary metabolism, thus suppressing epilepsy. This diet is also gradually becoming the first choice of the modern weight loss crowd.
Ketone bodies are the intermediate product of fat metabolism, and the human body needs a lot of nutrients for growth and normal activity, including protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. Carbohydrates are the most direct source of energy for the human body, when the body's carbohydrates are insufficient, the body will first break down the fat to provide the body with energy, the fat metabolism product is ketone bodies. If only from the perspective of fitness and fat loss and weight loss, the ketogenic diet does have a very obvious effect on body shaping.
There are two sides to everything, and the ketogenic diet is certainly no exception to the dangers. Fat metabolism in the body, the need for carbohydrate participation, when the body fat will be broken down into fatty acids in the process, the excess fatty acids can not be oxidized, and thus the decomposition of the ketone bodies, dietary carbohydrates can be sufficient to prevent the occurrence of the above phenomenon. A portion of the ketone bodies produced during the metabolic process enters the human brain, which reduces one's judgment and reflexes. Ketones are the product of the metabolism of fatty substances, and fat mainly from meat food, long-term intake of a single meat food will lead to acidosis, so that the metabolic burden of the liver increased, affecting the health of human organs.
To ensure that the human body is in a healthy condition, it is necessary to do a reasonable diet, carbohydrate is the body's most important source of energy, is the other nutrients can not be replaced. The people who lose weight and shape up can reduce the intake of carbohydrates and fat food appropriately, so that the body to achieve a balanced state. Through scientific physical exercise can also achieve the purpose of weight loss and shape, which is the most healthy and scientific life.
