Intermittent Fasting
Blood Sugar Increase
Insulin Comes Out to the Bloodstream
Insulin is a hormone secretes by Pancreas
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.
Insulin helps pull sugar out of the bloodstream
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
EARLY FASTING STAGE (3-4 hours after eating, last until 18 hours 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
Brain Fog
