Intermittent Fasting, : - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Pancreas made pancreatic juice, enzymes that breakdown sugar, starch, and fat
      - If insulin elevated, it turns inflammation in our system.
      - Whenever our system feels like is under threat, it runs up inflammation.
      - Whenever we eat foods, pathogen is coming in our body. Gut will separating the outside world from our blood stream, pathogen (parasite, undigested food particle etc)
      - Our body starts to protect them from going into our blood stream, by throw an alarm to prepare possibility that pathogen is coming in, by turning up inflammatory pathway.
    - - Move it into the Cell
        
        For Energy
        
        For Storage
        
        As Glycogen stored by muscles & liver
        
        Glycogen can be converted back into sugar as source of energy as needed.
        
        GHRELIN stimulates hunger, decrease after eating.
        
        LEPTIN - suppressing food intake (appetite-suppressing), increase after eating
    - - Blood Sugar Decreases
      - Insulin Level decreases
      - Body converts glycogen into glucose to use as energy
      - FASTING STAGE (18 hours to 2 days)
        
        Glycogen from liver starts to deplete
        
        Body starts to break down protein and fat for energy
        
        Production of ketones occur, your body starts to convert fat into fuel
        
        Your body moved to ketosis, using fats as primary source of energy
        
        Signs of ketosis: decreased appetite, weight loss, fatique, bad/fruity smelling breath, low level of ketone bodies in the blood, breath and urine.
        
        LONG TERM FASTING (48 hours after food intake)
        
        Insulin continue to decrease, ketone steadily rises
        
        Liver will continue to generate sugar called gluconeogenesis, main source of fuel for the brain.
        
        Ketone provides energy for the brain as well
        
        Amino acids is reduced to help conserve muscle tissues in the body.
        
        BENEFITS OF KETONE
        
        Good fuel for the brain
        
        Clean energy/fuel
        
        Epigenetic influencer, influences gene pathways
        
        Reduce inflammation by shutting down inflammation signal
        
        Brain becomes sharper, more clarity, connection between different parts of the brain is smoother.
        
        Ketone can cross the blood–brain barrier through monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) in endothelial cells and astroglia
        
        Insulin signals building, compromises healing and repair. Whereas, ketone signals healing and repair but compromise building
      - Fasting helps our body to turn off the inflammatory pathway
        
        During fasting, our insulin is low, body stop burning sugar for energy, starts burning fats, saving and conserving it for time for need as energy
      - SIGNS OF INSULIN RESISTANCE
        
        Cravings
        
        Tiredness after meals
        
        Abdomen fats
        
        High visceral fats
        
        Skin tags
        
        Age spots
        
        PCOS
        
        High testosterone
