Chapter 134: The Three Highs and Nutrition
Ji Ke pressed the conjecture of the father and daughter in his heart, started with the mood described by Old Man Lu, and told his plan.
Mood, also known as emotion, is attributed to emotion in traditional Chinese medicine and spirituality in Western medicine, and has an important impact on the human body.
For example, in the frequently reported anti-cancer deeds, the emotions of cancer patients have a crucial impact on the condition, and the hospital also has a clear rule that it is forbidden to discuss the condition in front of seriously ill patients, for fear of affecting the patient's mood and having a negative effect on the treatment.
The object of fitness exercise is the human body, so emotions also have a huge impact on the effectiveness of exercise.
Positive emotions can make the body burn more calories under the same conditions and be more persistent, on the contrary, negative emotions not only reduce calorie burning, but also make people more likely to give up!
There are many members of the gym who will say that they are not in shape today, and they will not practice anymore! The reason is that negative emotions take over.
Old man Lu felt that he would be in a good mood here, and he would be able to control the three highs to have a positive effect, and with the rain exercise, he would get twice the result with half the effort!
After talking about emotions, talking about age, as we age, the decline of physical functions is an inevitable reality.
The role of fitness exercise is only to smooth out the downward trend, and older people need to pay attention to their physical functions when exercising, and they can't pursue exercise too much and ignore safety.
Usually, gyms or personal training studios do not consider minors and seniors over the age of 60 as service targets.
The former has not developed in all aspects of the body, and forced exercise is likely to leave dark wounds;
The latter is due to a certain decline in bodily functions.
Gyms/studios refuse to accept these two groups of people as their members due to safety concerns.
In other words, most fitness trainers have no bottom on the physical state of the two groups.
What's more, Mr. Lu is not only old, but also suffers from three highs? Not to mention that ordinary coaches dare not take it, even if the experienced and theoretical coach is stunned when he sees it!
Ji Ke briefly said his plan, low intensity, low frequency is the core, and at the same time, it needs to be controlled in terms of diet.
There is a saying in the fitness circle that there are three points of exercise and seven points of eating.
The nutrients and calories needed by the human body are obtained by eating, of course, there is no way to do it if you have to infuse it;
The three highs are the diseases of wealth and nobility that are used to being lazy, and being lazy can be solved by being diligent, and it is more difficult to solve if it is delicious.
Confucius said that food, sex, and sex are also very difficult, and it is difficult to make people change their food hobbies that they have developed over the years.
Coupled with the fact that the popularity of nutrition is not widespread, most people still simply think that eating well means eating more, and drinking well means drinking more.
In fact, blindly eating more will only make people obese, and drinking too much will only make people edema.
Food has two big attributes in nutrition: nutrition, calories!
Food taste has little place in nutrition, and many people who pursue nutrition will choose to sacrifice the taste of food.
Nutrition divides the nutrients needed by the human body into seven categories: carbohydrates (sugar), fats, proteins, water, vitamins, inorganic salts (minerals), and cellulose (dietary fiber).
There is a mismatch between nutrients and calories in food: nutrient-dense foods are not necessarily high in calories, and high-calorie foods are not necessarily nutritious.
Because the calories of food are mainly carbohydrates, fats, and proteins;
Now life is getting better and better, and the excess of these three types of nutrients leads to excess body calories, so there are more and more obese people!
The object of dietary control is the intake of these three nutrients!
Since it is control, it is necessary to know where they come from, how the human body uses them, and how to get rid of them after use.
First of all, the protein, which we can simply and crudely understand from the name, is at least widespread on eggs, and it is white in texture.
That's right, the protein part of a hard-boiled egg contains a nutrient: protein!
The solid color of protein is white, so most foods that appear white after processing contain protein, such as fish, soy products, dairy products, eggs, and lean meat (which is white when boiled).
Protein is broken down into various amino acids in the human body, which are then absorbed and utilized.
However, the body's attitude towards protein is to use it when it is needed, and throw it away when it is not needed, and do not let the protein have excess storage in the body at all!
The excess protein is excreted through the urinary system in the form of uric acid.
Well, the organs that belong to the urinary system include the kidneys and bladder, so people who have a long-term excessive intake of protein have a relatively high uric acid content.
Uric acid is something that can be precipitated, so urinary stones such as kidney stones are usually found if the uric acid content is too high.
By the way, there are two types of protein: plant protein and animal protein, and only animal protein contains all the types of amino acids required by the human body! Oh, and egg protein belongs to animal protein.
In summary, whether you keep exercising or not, your daily protein intake must be controlled, otherwise too much urea will cause stones and gout.
It's just that the demand for protein in the exercise group is higher than that in the non-exercise group, so you can consume more.
Carbohydrates, i.e. sugars, are mainly found in the diet as staple foods, while other foods such as meat, eggs, nuts, legumes, and vegetables do not contain carbohydrates.
Of course, the carbohydrate content of processed food is more, after all, the main raw material of processed food is flour!
There are also sugar products such as white sugar, brown sugar, and glucose in life, and it is almost inevitable that the intake of carbohydrates in daily life exceeds the standard.
Sugar is usually stored in the blood to provide energy to organs, nerves, blood, muscles throughout the body, and is known as blood sugar.
Although hyperglycemia is considered a disease, in reality if the body does not need that much blood sugar, they are stored in the form of fat instead of staying in the bloodstream.
Fat, also known as oil, is the highest nutrient per calorie of the three, and it is also necessary for cooking, and it is also widely found in nuts, legumes, meat, egg yolks, and other foods (more than half of the nuts!), so the daily intake is also exceeded.
Fat also has many functions in the human body, such as heat insulation, buffering, energy supply, etc., and is also a form of storage of excess heat in the human body.
Anytime the human body consumes calories, it consumes fat, protein, and carbohydrates at the same time.
Different exercise states will make these three main forms of calories in different proportions of consumption, and fitness exercise is to achieve different fitness goals through this characteristic of the human body.
For example, fat loss will make the body adjust to a state where fat is mainly burned
