Chocolate & Fitness Jogging

 Health and nutrition
you think about chocolate will do with the little beauty?
Prolonged exercise on a large consumption of sugar, the body's glycogen reserves can not much, only about 400m600 grams. In motion When blood glucose is the main source of energy in the marathon process, glycogen is almost depleted, can only rely on the oxidation of fat and protein for energy, but fat for energy efficiency is only half the sugar, and protein for energy efficiency is only sugar quarter, so use them for sure will affect the efficiency of movement.
how to ensure there is enough movement to keep the energy supply of sugar, and for non-professional teams, the water supply station in the long-distance running he did not supply of specialized sports drink, and carry drinks would affect sports performance supplement. Therefore, we must find a suitable method of energy supplement.
a national study shows that chocolate may be a good supplementary method. Researchers to half of the volunteers ingested a piece of chocolate before exercise (weight 56 grams, sugar 36 grams, 281 kcal of energy), and drank 200 ml of water, the other half of those taking 200 ml of natural sugar-free drinks. The results showed that: After 15 minutes add chocolate, blood glucose and insulin levels were significantly increased, suggesting that chocolate is a high-sugar foods, although the magnitude of blood sugar is not large, but the maintenance of sustained blood glucose level has a certain role in the running 1 hour (heart rate to maintain sustained speed of about 150 run), rest 30 minutes, blood glucose levels still remain high (above the quiet and normal levels), higher blood glucose levels can improve exercise capacity, saving glycogen consumption, delay fatigue, at the same time conducive to long-term glycogen recovery after exercise. On the contrary, people who take sugar-free drink, blood glucose levels below the normal level, while protein consumption increased. Research Note: In order to avoid meeting 30-45 minutes before exercise can cause blood sugar, insulin increased the emergence of low blood sugar, preferably 15 minutes before exercise the role of complement chocolate.
