A common misconception, says Callum, is that fruit post-exercise is good for you as it will replenish muscle glycogen. 'However,' he warns, 'fruit will only replenish liver glycogen and not muscle glycogen. Glycogen is our muscle's fuel source and will be used during exercise and therefore needs to be replenished afterwards with starchy carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes.'
卡勒姆表示,一個常見的誤解是運動后吃水果對身體有益,因為它會補充肌糖原.然而,他警告說,"水果只會補充肝糖原而不是肌糖原.糖原是肌肉的燃料來源,并將在運動中消耗,因此運動后需要用含淀粉的碳水化合物補充糖原,如米飯和土豆."
So when should we eat fruit? 'We want to ensure that when we eat fruit we will maximise the energy we receive from it, but more importantly ensure that the fructose is used by the body as an energy source and doesn't get converted and stored as body fat,' he said.
那我們該什么時候吃水果？卡勒姆說："我們要確保吃水果時,將最大程度的利用從中得到的能量,但更重要的是確保果糖被身體用作能量來源,沒有被轉換并儲存為體脂."
'Therefore, the best times to eat fruit are first thing in the morning and 15 minutes before a workout as your body will use this readily available energy to fuel morning activity and then your exercise.'
"因此,吃水果最好的時間是一大早以及鍛煉之前15分鐘,因為你的身體將使用這個現成的能量,為上午的活動或接下來的鍛煉提供燃料."
Callum continued: 'There is practically no limit as to how many calories the body can store as fat, hence why we have such a huge obesity crisis in today's society.
卡勒姆繼續(xù)說道："對于身體可以將多少卡路里儲存為脂肪,這幾乎是沒有限制的.這就是當今社會存在極大的肥胖危機的原因.
'People believe that fruit is good for you, and by all means it is; however, people just aren't eating it at the right time and as a result, their body fat is increasing.
"人們相信水果對身體有好處,這當然是對的；然而,人們在不正確的時間吃水果,所以他們的體脂在上升."
'Remember: food is fuel/energy and we only need to eat what our bodies need to maintain our energy expenditure.'
"記?菏澄鍤僑劑?能量,我們只需要吃維持身體能量消耗所需的食物."
