Alcohol makes you fat! ...

This stereotype has set in the general consciousness.

Certainly this has the image of the Sarmatian drunkard, contributed with a belly on the Slutsk belts and a large trunk, glass in hand. However, the drunkenness was in past centuries with wealth and a luxurious lifestyle, so, therefore, generally all desires excessively indulge - both while eating and drinking - related. but Does alcohol make you fat? ... Furthermore, you should think for a moment ...

At a certain stage, alcohol uses the same metabolic pathways as sugars and fats. Ultimately, it may, therefore, represent a useful source of energy for the organism. He is preferentially burned - so first. In this way, he restricts fat loss as well as the burning of glucose and fatty acids for fat loss, which increases the possibility of their storage in fat cells. So alcohol promotes fat formation, but only if we simultaneously take fat and carbohydrate-rich food to us. But we must not fry on the grill or the campfire Krakauer or fat sausages, as well tasted chicken, fish, ham and beef.

Unfortunately, stimulate some alcoholic beverages appetite particularly strong ... Most - the low alcoholic drinks - with about 5% alcohol. About 10% this effect is lowered.
Dangerous for the character is a "morbid" appetite in connection with the hangover the next day. In contrast, you can easily do something - during the celebration of drinking not exaggerate. But if it ever comes to that, then, the "Nash Hangover" with any lean meat - eg fried chicken -. Be treated.

This stereotype has set in the general consciousness.

DOOM FULL AND SAFE

For the character all sweet Alcohol are disastrous - liqueurs, extracts, heavy wines and beer, and especially long-drinks - strong alcoholic drinks, which are diluted with sweetened drinks. The reason is quite obvious - the connection of alcohol with the sugar. The alcohol from such beverages is burned in the organism mainly, the sugar is stored in turn, converted to phosphoglycerides and in this form be stored in adipose tissue.
Relatively safe strong alcohol (vodka, whiskey, brandy, cognac, etc.) are drunk with water because the alcohol has basically alone does not affect the scope of the adipose tissue.

Most arouse emotions beer - the most popular "campfire" DRINK. Relatively safe is only a light beer - like the Pilsner. Strong beers contain a large amount of fattening sugar - maltose. In Pilsen there is not much of this sugar, for we find in fat burning substances -Hordenine and diterpenes - which penetrate into the beverage from the germinating barley grain.
The Hordenine and diterpenes are among the thermogenic substances present in food. The group of diterpenes also includes, for example, the forskolin - an active substance from the extract of the shrub harp - which is added the recently modern thermogenic preparations to facilitate fat reduction. More about the thermogenic substances in alcoholic beverages I write the same ...
The danger of the beer consumption should be seen in connection with its enormous appetizing effect. But, as I have suggested above, the appetite with poteinreichen dishes can be satisfied - lean meats grilled.

It seems certain also dry white wine. It contains more than 10% alcohol, so it no longer acts as appetizing. It contains almost no sugar, for proanthocyanidins, which act similar to thermogenic catechin derivatives. Of this but more in the next section ...

BONUS VINUM

Dry red wine is almost fully packed with fat-burning substances (fat burner). All of these, as well as the already mentioned from the beer and white wine, belong to the group of thermogenic substances, of which I have already written many times in previous articles. Without going into details, thermogenic substances from food act as the most important calorigenic hormone in the human body - the intense fat burning hormone with the scattering of thermal energy - the norepinephrine. Layer on the basis of the modern means of losing weight was - as Thermo Speed, Therm Line or Lady Therm developed.

In red wine tyramine also occurs, which, as already mentioned above, the hordenine, has a similar effect as the calorigenic norepinephrine. The catechin and quercetin derivatives contained in the beverage inhibit deactivation of tyramine and our body's own norepinephrine, resulting in that both agents can better and longer destroy the depot fat. It is also based fat reducing an effect of the proanthocyanidins, which have already been mentioned under white wine. Actually, it is the same substances that may be rich in green tea and its dry extract, z. B. OLIMP Green Tea and reducing the fat and are responsible health-promoting properties of this plant.

The healthy part of the red wine, the antitumor acting resveratrol, affects equally effective in the fat reduction from what was proved beyond doubt in the recently completed studies. Probably because of their ability the production and activity of prostaglandins - tissue hormones - which limit the effect of noradrenaline and the general necessities of life fat cells - inhibit. Resveratrol belongs to the chemical group of stilbenes - like compounds as the female sex hormones - estrogens. Probably it combines in the tissues with estrogen receptors, but since it has no activity of hormones, it limits in effect their impact. Compounds with similar activity, called anti-estrogens act is usually low in the figure as estrogens, called fat deposits in the area of the breast, lipomas tip, and along the collagen fibers of the skin, known as cellulite, promote. Therefore, some researchers suggest that the fat-reducing effect of resveratrol in a certain degree is with its anti-oestrogenic properties associated.

For Long-drink fans, I have good news ... The current modern vodka with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice may act similar to the red wine. The juice contains a similar effect in the combination of active ingredients - the north adrenalin similar: Synergy and octopamine which wirkungsverlängernden quercetin derivatives and the beneficial and fat reducing resveratrol.

At this point, one should add that the Sindarin and octopamine, which occur in the bitter orange not only in the grapefruit, but in all citrus fruits, and in the greatest amount, probably belong to the most valuable thermogenic substances, since their activity our body's norepinephrine on closely resembles. It is this, in the form of a dry extract of bitter orange, in general, form the basis for the thermogenic preparations in tablet form, as for example, Line and Three Thermo Speed is the case.

But, but ... Just do not be enthusiastic! Dear friends - moderation, moderation, and yet time moderation !!!
