要減肥?運動后別吃水果
Experts say to AVOID fruit after exercise to lose weight
There is no doubt about it, fruit is good for you - it's low calorie, full of essential vitamins and micronutrients and can be enjoyed as part of balanced and nutritious diet.
毫無疑問,水果對你大有裨益——水果熱量低,富含必要的維生素和微量元素,可以作為均衡營養膳食的一部分.
However, eating too much fruit or at the wrong times can lead to fat gains, say experts.
然而,專家表示,吃太多水果或在錯誤的時間吃水果可能會增加體脂.
According to personal trainer Callum Melly, founder of Bodyin8.co.uk, you need to understand how carbohydrates are broken down within the body to know if you're eating fruit at the wrong time.
據bodyin8.co.uk的創始人、私人教練卡勒姆•梅里稱,你需要了解碳水化合物是如何在體內分解的,來看自己吃水果的時間是不是錯誤.
As he explains, when you consume carbohydrates they are stored in two forms, as either 'muscle glycogen' or as 'liver glycogen'.
他解釋說,當你消耗碳水化合物時,它們的儲存形式有兩種,一種是"肌糖原",另一種是"肝糖原".
Muscle glycogen is a product of starchy foods and liver glycogen is a product of fructose (the naturally occurring sugar from fruit.)
肌糖原是含淀粉食物的產物,而肝糖原是果糖的產物(水果中天然含有的糖分).
'Food is fuel and we should only eat what is required to fuel our daily energy requirements, especially when it comes to carbohydrate intake,' he said.
他說:"食物是燃料,我們應該只吃提供日常所需能量的食物,尤其是涉及攝入碳水化合物時."
Carbohydrates are an important energy source for us, they are important for brain function and important for muscle function and therefore should be eaten around specific times depending on your energy requirements.
碳水化合物是我們重要的能量來源,它們對大腦和肌肉的功能有重要的作用,因此應根據你的能量需求,在特定的時間攝入碳水化合物.
