Carbohydrates and fats
When you eat carbohydrates, called carbs for short, your system converts those carbs into glucose, which your cells's Mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells, use to energize your body. The speed at which these carbs get converted to glucose is very important. Organic Carbs take longer to convert to glucose than refined carbs, like sugars which convert rapidly to glucose.
Those carbs, after digestion, drop into your arteries, as glucose, and get delivered to your cells. Your cells have little valves that open and close to accept more or less glucose. When you eat more carbs than what your cells can absorb, then those valves start closing. When that happens, the extra glucose will travel to your fat cells and fill them with that glucose. If more carbs are introduced into your system than what your cells or your fat cells can absorb that glucose, then they dump that extra glucose anywhere they can, your arteries, your heart and your brain. There is science describing how glucose converts to Ameloid plaques. These plaques cover your brain's neuronal connections and keep them from working properly. When that happens Dementia in one form or another begins and you get the diseases of the brain. It's just not that complicated.
Studies have been made that show how well Mitochondria absorb glucose. An athlete can fill their Mitochondria with glucose at the rate of 15% per hour. A normal person that doesn't work out will fill at 5% per hour. That is, a normal person that doesn't have a regular workout, will take 20 hours to fill your Mitochondria to 100%. If you do the math, you'll begin to see why most of diseases are amplified or created by eating too many carbs, especially carbs that get digested rapidly.
It's no wonder that the world is becoming more obese. Carbs taste good and are satifying.
We're not saying don't eat that donut. What we're saying is don't eat the second one. Certainly don't follow it up with high carb content food. It will make you sick over a period of time. Not at first. It takes time to fill the brain with Ameloid Plaques. It takes time to develop Artherosclerosis.
For a long period of time, the medical community still believed that fat causes these diseases. Eaten fats convert to Ketones in the liver, a better form of energy than glucose. That's what the Keto diet is. High fat, low carbs. Glucose converts into all the junk that kills you. But only if too much is eaten at once.
I imagine that if you eat fat and carbs, then the fat will be used for energy as Ketones and the glucose will, go to where? Obvious isn't it?
