When we eat a meal, the carbohydrates in the food enter the body in the form of glucose, at this time, the blood sugar rises, stimulating the β cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin, and the role of insulin is to send the elevated blood sugar into the cells for metabolism through the glucose transporter of tissue cells, which is the process of insulin lowering blood sugar.
There are three main places where glucose enters tissue cells, liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. The total amount of glycogen stored in the human body is about 600g, including 100g of liver glycogen, which is distributed in the muscle glycogen, according to the degree of muscle development, ranging from 200-500g, blood sugar is about 15g, and the rest is released in fat and brain tissue;
When blood sugar levels are low, liver glycogen is broken down and released into the blood, raising blood sugar.
After the blood sugar rises, under the action of insulin, it enters the muscle cells and is stored in the muscle tissue in the form of muscle glycogen; during exercise, muscle glycogen is decomposed through the intracellular mitochondria to produce adenosine 6-phosphate (ATP) to provide energy for the muscle; after muscle glycogen is consumed, it absorbs glucose from the blood and then synthesizes muscle glycogen storage, which is the principle of exercise to regulate blood sugar.
When we eat more high-sugar foods, blood sugar rises, and we lack exercise, blood sugar can no longer enter the muscle tissue storage, but can only enter the liver and be converted into fatty acids, causing fatty liver and hyperlipidemia;
The excess glucose in the blood takes the third way to enter the adipose tissue, one is to increase the water of the adipose tissue, and the other is to convert it into fat form for storage, which is the reason why the blood sugar of obese people rises synchronously.
The body can only increase the utilization rate of glucose by increasing the secretion of insulin, so that the pancreatic β cells are in a state of high load for a long time, and finally the secretion function decreases, or even fails, and then diabetes will find you.
Therefore, we should check our blood sugar regularly, and it is recommended to do a blood sugar test once a year to find that the blood sugar is elevated, and act as soon as possible to change the bad life Xi habits, eat less and move more, and block the process of diabetes.
Exercise mode is divided into aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise resistance training, resistance training can consume more glycogen stored by muscles, reduce blood sugar obviously, increase muscle volume, absorption, utilization, and blood sugar regulation ability to enhance simultaneously;
