Fat or Fuel? What your body REALLY does with carbs

  • Currency: EUR

Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules made from carbon, hydrogn and oxygen. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body's cells, tissues, and organs and it's stored as glycogen in liver and muscles. When the liver and all the muscles are full with glycogen the glucose become fat with all its bad and good stuff.

But let's not lose ourself in detals. In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy does a deep dive into the world of carbohydrates, exploring their often confusing role in our diet. Are they the hero fueling athletic performance or the villain behind weight gain and health problems? The Institute of Human Anatomy team dissect in video the science behind carbs, from simple sugars to complex polysaccharides, and reveal how your body actually processes and utilizes them. We'll clarify the truth about fructose, high fructose corn syrup, and the concept of 'good' versus 'bad' carbs.

    Websites are considered visual brands for any person, entity, product or service. They are a way to show to the entire world (or, at least, to the targeted niche) what someone is doing during this period, what you sell or what you offer now. The first step is establishing the strategy for the following months or years - that's as important as the design and site itself.
