Hi there, I know alot about nutrition and if you have any questions, dont hasitate to ask me ^^ On this topic I want to tell you about our metabolism and about ketogenic nutrition and its unbelievable power. I will tell you about the origin, the biological-context and how it works in our bodies, especially how it helps for our health. All informations you can find in this topic are based on studies, experiments and basic biological understanding. You can find everything of this in the www. If you want to know from what pages I got this information, write a comment so I will look it up to you. I left it out here because I learn about this topic for years Lets first start with how our metabolism works: There are three ways in which the body can feed itself. Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fat(lipides). The problem is that our body only can use one fuel at the time - the carbohydrates, the substance thats is later processed into glucogen, is the fastest retrievable fuel and easy feasible into energy. So our body logically wants to use it first until its empty. So its btw. unpossible to lose weight until you stop eating carbohydrates (later more). We have a carbohydrate-reservoir of about 2500kcal. Every second we dont eat something, the body uses this reservoir, every time we eat carbohydrates, it fills this reservoir. Is the reservoir filled, the staying carbohydrates get transformed into fat and you gain weight. So lets say you have a basic metabolism of 2500kcal the day, you would need to stop eating for 24 hours to empty this reservoir or you will need to jog 6 hours in a row (~410-420 kcal per hour)!!! Now you know why its unpossible to loose weight only with sports ^^ Every dude that now says "No m8 thats not true, I did loose 3lbs only with sport" is right there, but he only lost water, which was saved in our epithel-tissue. In this no-eat period you will get headache and feelings that you start to get ill. Thats because our body don´t has fuel anymore and tries to warn us that we have to goddamn eat something. If our body gets no answer from us, he is forced to jump into another metabolism, without carbohydrates. Thats the protein-metabolism. It only lasts for 3 days and its a transitional solution for the body to find a better way to keep running. In this timespan the body builds the so called "ketones" a substitute-sugar, with same attributes like our carbohydrate-sugar. This ketone is gained out of fat-cells. And thats the interesting part. This metabolism transformation into ketabolism is anchored deep in our DNA thanks to our ancestors in the phase of development of the human mankind. So everytime we didnt find food, we took the fatcells and burned them until we found a nice and spicy mammoth. But now you will say "Dude shut the f*** up! what guy would stop eating for so long to loose any weight?" Yeah sure thats a point, even though there is a prooven system called fasting. You renounce to food and just let your body burn fat, your body starts to clean your body from slags like teer in your lungs and so on. The only thing you need to keep an eye on is your mineral-reservior. Drink much water and tea, maybe vegetable stock and take some dietary supplements. Sounds nice to burn 2,5kg fat in every week you dont eat anything, doesn´t it? "But dude, Im not fat, why should I do this?" Well, its not that complicated. Its not even nessesary to do fasting because its very radical and hard to keep it going. Eat whatever you want, keep under or next to your basic metabolism, just let out the carbohydrates. Its easier than you may think. I eat without carbohydrates and have many reciepes for nocarb- bread, pasta and so on. Of course you don´t need to take it too serious! Exceptions are allowed! But it should keep an exception. The unbelievable part of the ketabolism (ketone-metabolism) is, that it can heal many folk-diseases (prooven by many doctors, look it up!) like diabetes mellitus, coronal deseases, alzheimer , cancer, multiple sclerose (MS), fatty liver, epilepsis and rheumatism. Poorly most people don´t know this and trust on the general knowledge and the pharma-industry. Trust me, they make money with your deseases ^^. Best example for this bullshit are the well known "lite" products for fat people, that promise you to loose weight. Bullshit. They reduce the Fat-part on the products and raise the carbohydrates. We can say "thank you" to the sugar-industry at this point. They bribed some doctors, who now say "fat is bad and sugar is good". "How can you know this works against those deseases?" To understand this we need to get back to biology again. While we are in the ketabolism, our body raises the phagocytosis, that is a state, where phagocytes dissolute and neutralize foreign substances in the organism and take up the shaped matter by unicellular organisms. So slags and bad matter in our bodies get dissoluted and we get our energy. Diabetes mellitus I is caused by heredity, so we can´t do much here. The body doesn´t build insuline, so you cant use carbohydrates because insuline is the key to use it. Diabetes mellitus II on the other hand is acquired in life caused by sugar abuse and accustomated the body to the high sugar-supply - the body gets resistent to insuline. This issue can be corrected by stopping the sugar-supply. You deacquire your body from the high supply and you can use insuline again. Alzheimer is caused by inadequate washout of waste(remember the slags!) in the so called glymphatic Brainsystem and causes plaques in your brain. On ketabolysm (as I told you above) your body starts to clean out your body from slags (thats why you pee that often while fasting) and don´t let your body form plaques (thats the reason it´s against coronal deseases aswell, you can´t get heart- or any other infarct-attacks when your arteries are clean!) Cancer and ulcerations are mutated copies of our cells. They are copies, but they don´t have that above told DNA part, that swaps into ketabolism to keep alive. So logically if you don´t eat carbohydrates, the cancercells starve, because they only can convert carbohydrates. Ketabolism aswell multiplies the power of a chemo-therapy many times and reduces the side effects of it. Here aswell its proven by sciencists. Multiple sclerose (MS) is caused by inflammatory processes. In the fasting span your body produces masses of Cortisol, a stresshormone, what reduces any inflammatory-processes. Fatty liver and other hepatic deseases can stopped by ketabolism. It uses the fatexcess of the liver as energy and deslag the liver from the impact of alcoholism. Epilepsis is caused by ulcerations (dissolutable), perinatale braindamages while birth, Aneurisms, Infections and metabolismdeseases. Aneurisms and ulcerations aswell as infections and metabolismdeseases can be healed by the process told above many times. But some causes can´t be healed of course. Rheuma can be healed before it appears by dissolute slags of smoking and reduce inflammatory-effects. P.s.: If you deal with some illnesses, you will find out that many of them are caused by sugar or slags, and poorly many people die because they always got told bullshit. Most of you guys who are fat, are not guilty for it. Funny to say but it´s the truth. You´ve got told the wrong things by pharma-concerns, commercials and general knowledge... I hope I was able to get you all some valuable informations about this topic and I hope that I will take part in improving your health. It´s a very big topic, I´m not able to bring all informations in this post, it would take ages and you wouldnt want to read all this stuff. Please post your experiences and your knowledge, every commend is welcome. Best regards, Markarov

Cheep News Now that I have your attention. I'd like to share some health topics that hopefully you can consider and maybe try and implement into your life. Long Live Cheep! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Researchers at the University of Birmingham have shown that increasing the levels of active vitamin D can help to optimise muscle strength in humans. The team hope that the findings will inform the design of future supplementation studies, and begin to answer questions as to the optimal levels of vitamin D required for healthy muscles. The study, published in PLOS ONE, builds on previous knowledge showing levels of inactive vitamin D to be associated with a lack of muscle mass. The research is the result of a cutting edge technique that allowed both active and inactive forms of vitamin D to be assessed alongside their impact on various muscle functions. Dr Zaki Hassan-Smith, from the University of Birmingham, explained, "We have a good understanding of how vitamin D helps bone strength, but we still need to learn more about how it works for muscles. When you look at significant challenges facing healthcare providers across the world, such as obesity and an ageing population, you can see how optimising muscle function is of great interest." "Previous studies have tested for the inactive forms of vitamin D in the bloodstream, to measure vitamin D deficiency. Here, we were able to develop a new method of assessing multiple forms of vitamin D, alongside extensive testing of body composition, muscle function and muscle gene expression." 116 healthy volunteers, aged between 20-74, were recruited to the trial. Participants had both active and inactive levels of vitamin D measured alongside physical characteristics including body fat and 'lean mass', a measure of muscle bulk. Women with a healthy body composition, and lower body fat, were less likely to have high levels of inactive vitamin D, a marker of vitamin D deficiency. This was echoed by the finding that levels of inactive vitamin D were lower in women with increased body fat. This would suggest a relationship between vitamin D and body composition. However, the active form of vitamin D was not associated with body fat, but was associated with lean mass. Individuals with an increased lean mass, and muscle bulk, had a higher level of active vitamin D in the bloodstream. Dr Hassan Smith added, "By looking at multiple forms in the same study, we can say that it is a more complex relationship that previously thought. It may be that body fat is linked to increased levels of inactive vitamin D, but lean mass is the key for elevated levels of active vitamin D. It is vital to understand the complete picture, and the causal mechanisms at work, so we can learn how to supplement vitamin D intake to enhance muscle strength." In this study some of the positive associations between active vitamin D and muscle bulk were not seen in men. Future studies with larger cohorts will help to identify if this is due to biological differences. The team will now work alongside international collaborators to further investigate the mechanisms at work through lab-based studies and clinical trials. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We need the D people!

We are back again with your daily update on the science world. I, cheepheep, your host, generously shares with you some useful information that could help you implement some positive habits into your lifestyle. Read on.....sorry for the cringe-worthy intro. People are easily pulled into binge culture's quick-fix obsession with junk-food. But, according to a study published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, they might just as easily be able to pull themselves out of it. Laura Corbit, assistant professor at the University of Sydney, and her team wondered how one might counteract unhealthy eating habits. They were curious to find out how food cues, such as billboards and commercials, affect our decisions about where, what and how much to eat. How does our environment shape how we eat? In order to figure out useful strategies against obesity and metabolic disease, they used lab rats to conduct a series of experiments replete with oreos, pringles, jelly snakes and chow. They showed that environments where tasty high-fat and high-sugar treats were routinely consumed induced habitual control: animals lost the ability to make volitional nutritional choices based on the current value of food. But the study also showed that rats could easily be brought out of this state. For people, habitual behavior means that eating patterns are not necessarily dictated by conscientious weight regulation and health concerns, but also by external food cues that shape and perpetuate certain eating habits: a world where McDonalds billboards loom large at every corner, luring you in with the promise of cheap, high-fat and high-sugar food. A first experiment backed this idea up by looking at volitional versus habitual control in rats. Animals were initially given repeated exposures to junk-food or bland chow environments. After being food-deprived, they were trained to press levers that provided either sugar water or pellets. Then, once they were full, they were once again placed in junk-food and bland chow environments in order to see whether these distinct contexts would affect their food-seeking behavior. This first experiment showed that a junk-food environment caused rats to exhibit a more habitual mode of behavior than a bland chow environment. But could aspects of the environment also reverse this habitual behavior? In a second experiment, the rats underwent the same procedures as in the first experiment. This time, however, distinct sound cues were played whenever rats were placed in junk-food or bland chow contexts, creating specific environmental cues associated with specific food types. The researchers found that the cue played in the bland chow context improved sensitivity to the devaluation of food, when rats were subsequently placed in the junk food context after having been fed. A sound cue paired with bland food is all it took to take rats out of a habitual mode of behavior and back into a volitional mind frame. The idea that we control how, when, and what we eat assumes -- wrongly -- that we are always able-minded enough to make measured, healthy decisions. Our best intentions could be assailed by a constant stream of sensory information. If the frequently habitual nature seen in rats is translated to people, this study offers encouraging insight. The researchers suggest using simple interventions, such as reminders of how unhealthy certain foods are or interrupting the automatic processing of junk-food cues. A number of smartphone apps have already been developed to stymie the consumption of unhealthy food. Equally, simply putting up signs that point out healthy food options in a food court can be an effective way of bringing us into a volitional state of mind. As a corrective to obesity and metabolic disease, humans can come up with their own preventive cues, which may jolt them out of habit and into health. Hope it helps. Discuss Now! source : Frontiers

Hey, Are there any runners that make the forum rounds? If so, how long have you been an active runner and why do you enjoy it? I've been running for about 4 years now and it is about the best thing evar! Basically I find it to be the easiest form of exercise out there with little to no equipment other than your clothes and your shoes. And... it is soooo good for you!

Hello everyone! First of all, I'm not sure if I need to open this topic at 'Science & Space', 'Technology' or 'Food and Drink', so this topic could be on the wrong section, sorry. Tomorrow I have to do a debate. The topic is 'Genetically modified food is healthy', do you agree or disagree? I have to collect some good arguments and articles to form a good opinion about this topic. So, I want to ask you guys to give your opinion with good arguments and eventually an article to base your arguments on. That'd really help me. Kind regards, Gaskarth c:

I remember a few years ago there were some pretty heated and lengthy discussions about the upcoming Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). At the risk of stirring the pot and pages of lengthy discussions about the pros and cons, I'm curious to find out if anyone's views have changed.I've been trying to listen to news from both left and right leaning media sources to see what the overall shift in perception has been. It's been interesting to say the least. So have your views changed one way or the other on "Obamacare"? Why or why not? If your new to the discussion and want some background on previous conversations, here are some links to prior posts. http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/6777-obama-care-in-the-usa/?hl=obama http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/12186-socialism/?hl=+health%20+care

There are some exercises that you just can't do often enough. Three examples: wall slides, thoracic rotations, and the passive-lock single-leg hip raise. Unusual names, yes. But while you may not be familiar with these moves, chances are you should be doing them every day. Why? Because they help offset the toll that working on a computer -- or even a mobile device -- takes on your body. Specifically, that toll is poor posture, which frequently leads to neck, shoulder, and back pain. And because sitting and slumping as you type, surf, or text can consume hours of your day, the more frequently you perform these moves, the better. The best part: You can do these no-weight, no-sweat exercises anywhere. http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/training-day/201109/exercises-you-should-do-every-day
