Quotes About Metabolism

If a patient became sugar-free and blood sugar normal on a basal requirement diet, the caloric intake was gradually increased until sugar appeared in the urine. The tolerance was thus ascertained.

I remember as a teen being able to eat more than my father. I was growing so fast and my body couldn't keep up.

The way we metabolize our experience of time influences our biological clock.

Time is an experience in consciousness. It is metabolized as our biological clock. Changing our experience of time can reverse aging.

The way you understand and investigate time is by moving inward, into metabolism. The human body is a knot in time.

As we age, it's as if the calcium seeps out of our skeletons and into our tissues.

For example, a computer virus is a program that will make copies of itself in the memory of a computer, and will transfer itself to other computers. Thus it fits the definition of a living system that I have given. Like a biological virus, it is a rather degenerate form, because it contains only instructions or genes, and doesn't have any metabolism of its own. Instead, it reprograms the metabolism of the host computer, or cell.

A living being like you or me usually has two elements: a set of instructions that tell the system how to keep going and how to reproduce itself, and a mechanism to carry out the instructions. In biology, these two parts are called genes and metabolism.

If food is a fuel, we should feel that the tank is emptiest when the longest time has elapsed since it was filled - usually in the morning.

What physicians call perspirable matter is that vapour which passes off from our bodies, from the lungs, and through the pores of the skin. The quantity of this is said to be five eighths of what we eat.—Author.

The rapid metabolism and lack of active metabolites of zolpidem, zaleplon, and eszopiclone avoid the accumulation of plasma concentrations compared with the long-term use of benzodiazepines.

may decrease the plasma concentrations of benzodiazepines, and smoking may increase the metabolism of benzodiazepines.

My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.

I have a pretty fast metabolism, so I don't really have to worry about getting pudgy. What I try to do when I'm working out is taking in a lot of heavy protein - clean chicken, clean meats.

Cheat meals can be a great tool to develop your physique. They can reset hormones responsible for metabolism and insulin regulation, replenish glycogen for increased energy, and keep calorie-burning mechanisms high.

Exposing 85 percent of your body to sunlight for twenty to forty-five minutes three to five times per week elicits the biological production of vitamin D and a neuropeptide known as MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone). Together, these compounds prevent fat storage, control appetite, and most importantly, normalize blood glucose and insulin levels.3 Fat loss is the result.

Stress makes a person fat primarily because of an excessive secretion of the key stress hormone, cortisol, along with a reduced secretion of key anabolic hormones, such as DHEA, testosterone, and growth hormone. This combination of highly catabolic cortisol and reduced anabolic hormones causes the body to store fat, lose muscle, slow metabolic rate, and increase appetite—all of which have the ultimate effect of making a person fatter.

People with disrupted cortisol-secretion patterns have higher body fat (particularly in the abdomen), lower muscle mass (particularly in the arms and legs), and reduced basal metabolic rate (BMR, the number of calories burned at rest).

After being in a gym, you're super hungry all the time because you're burning all these calories.

A study in the journal Obesity Surgery reported no significant differences in the size of the stomachs of morbidly obese people as compared with non-obese control subjects. It is hormones and metabolism, calories consumed and calories burned, that determine one's weight, not holding capacity.

Bacteria don't have mouths or fingers or Wolf Ranges, but they eat.

Yes, men and women eat meals. But they also ingest nutrients. They grind and sculpt them into a moistened bolus that is delivered, via a stadium wave of sequential contractions, into a self-kneading sack of hydrochloric acid and then dumped into a tubular leach field, where it is converted into the most powerful taboo in human history. Lunch is an opening act.

Nature will castigate those who don't masticate' may hold some truth," concluded the paper, which appeared in the October 1980 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. On the whole-peanut diet, the subjects excreted 18 percent of the fat they'd consumed. When they switched to peanut butter, only 7 percent escaped in their stool.
