Exercise By Robert Lustig
Exercise is good but if you think you can outrun a bad diet, you better think again.
And here’s why?
There are eight sub cellular pathologies. Among these eight things which cause metabolic disease, exercise helps five of them. Also, drugs have no effect on all of them.
- Glycation
- Oxidative stress
- Mitochondrial Dysfunction
- Insulin resistance
- Membrane instability
- Inflammation
- Methylation
- Autophagy
Exercise doesn’t affect the following:
- Glycation
- Oxidative stress
- Membrane instability
- Methylation
The Maillard reaction only needs two molecules to occur: a carbohydrate (fructose or glucose), plus an amino acid (e.g., proteins). Put them together and the protein starts to “brown” and become less flexible. Ideally, these damaged proteins will be cleared away by cellular waste processing systems, but if the reaction occurs faster than the waste can be cleared, eventually the buildup of advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, will lead to cell, organ, and human dysfunction. The question is not if the Maillard reaction will occur, but rather how fast.
Some Quotes By Robert Lustig
You truly are hormonal when it comes to the foods you crave, just not in the ways you think.
Weight is not the issue, your metabolic health is the issue and you cannot learn by standing on the scale.
If food has a label, it’s a warning label.
The biochemistry of humans drives their behaviour.
Real food is anything that came out of the ground or any animal that ate what came out of the ground.
We have a limited capacity to metabolize these chemicals, and we are way over our limit.
You cannot fix healthcare until you fix health, you cannot fix health until you fix diet and you cannot fix diet until you know what the hell is wrong.
You can’t fix a problem, if you can’t identify what the problem is.
Pleasure (reward) is the emotional state where your brain says, This feels good—I want more, while happiness (contentment) is the emotional state where your brain says, This feels good—I don’t want or need any more.
Reward is driven by dopamine, and contentment by serotonin. Each is a neurotransmitter—a biochemical manufactured in the brain that drives feelings and emotions—but the two couldn’t be more different.
Dessert should be special, a once-a-week affair. Refined sugar should be a treat, something to look forward to. It should not be an everyday, every meal centerpiece.
If you’re not doing anything different, don’t expect a different result.
