Understanding how your body survives...
I stayed up late and fell asleep with the Science channell again the other night. I thought I would write this little tid bit down, since they summed it up so well int the show last night....I woke up and this great little show was on telling about the different stages of starvation. I will have to search the TV guide for the program.. Iwant to find all the info again. Ok this is what happens... First stage....you havent eaten enough in the past 24 hours. Your brain is signaled to send a chemical that effects your nerves...It make you want to "hunt for food". Ok, so you didnt find any food. Well your brain then turns the body into super conservation mode. It shuts down all the non essential elements that make you super awsome. You go into sleep mode. Ok so you still didnt find any food with your primal senses just turned on. Your body signals to eat some of what it has on hand. Thats YOU!! You really need some protein because essential cells need to reproduce and are dying....so it goes in for YOUR muscles. Thats OK...you have enough meat to last you for a little while. You cant go below 50% though....after the 50% is gone....well your number is just up, and The whole system dies. ONe good point the show did make was that Ocassionly reduction in calories does slow dow the cell process...and that causes them to continue the process over a longer period of time....which means you actually Last longer. You stay young longer!! So my goal in the rny is to last LONGER!!! Well my point with this is to remember AFTER the RNY to get enough to eat!!!!!!!!!!! I dont want to start to go into the second mode. If I hit the second mode then something is wrong...In my Opinoin. PROTIEN PROTIEN PROTIEN!!!! VIT ViT VIT. WAter...water water. LIttle bit of carbs! 0 Comment(s)
