OK still on the diet theme (well it’s more to do with general healthy eating really) I had to tell you about this ... it’s so scary!

OK still on the diet theme (well it’s more to do with general healthy eating really) I had to tell you about this ... it’s so scary!
I
read an article yesterday about the full English breakfast ... it turns out
that researchers at Oxford University have found that fat from a meal converts
to fatty tissue in just three house after being eaten! OMG ... devastated!
 |
| OMG I could so eat this right now! |
An
average person can add the equivalent of two to three teaspoons of fat to their
waistline in a matter of hours after their meal. The amounts increase in a high
fat meal such as the full English (no surprise there then). While it is well
known that fatty meals aid weight gain, scientists previously thought that the
process was slow. Any excess fat was believed to be removed and stored around
the waist, hips and legs, but this research has proved otherwise.
Volunteers
were asked to eat foods that contained fatty acids. The scientists then traced
the fat as it was first broken down in the gut and then absorbed into the gut
wall before being turned into globules which then went into the lymph system
and the blood.
Through
their experiments, they found that the tissue around the waist caught the fat
droplets as the bloody carried them and then incorporated them into the cells
for storage to be used for energy when a person is exercising. Therefore these droplets are only meant to be
there short term.
When
we don’t exercise and use up that short term stored energy, it settles and
stays there. In fact, for someone who
eats excessively without exercising, that fat then moved to the hips, bottoms
and thighs (no sh*t Sherlock!) long-term.
The
Professors who conducted the research found that exercise prompts fat cells to
release fat that muscles can use. They also discovered fit people find it
easier to burn fat.
Right
... I’m off to the gym! See you later ... have a marvelous day lovely people
and be fabulous!
Lots
of love
